It seems to be having a marginal impact on the spread of the virus though. I'm totally uncomfortable with heavily lobbied governments forcing medical procedures on people.

The injection will definitely slow down the spread it wont stop you getting it either but it definitely reduces the risk of a trip to icu.

No. You stupid stupid selfish twat 

Honestly, I'd rather rather have Tracey as Chief Medical Officer flanked by Karen and Stace.  I'd have way more faith.

This new Omicron variant causes such mild symptoms, sore throat but no or mild cough, and no loss of taste. It's basically a natural vaccine. No wonder the people who have spent billions on vaccines want to scaremonger about it - it's competition for their product.

It’s selfish clowns who have made this worse. Oh and the actual virus which everyone forgets actually exists. Mask cryers, “I’m losing my liberties” cranks and Karen’s should all be fed to fucking sharks. It really isn’t hard just to use common sense and have a bit of consideration for others. I know you’re not an extreme version of the cunt fella so that’s not aimed at you but anyone who has ever said things like “survival of the fittest” or implied that old people were going to die anyway is a Cunt of the highest order.

Dangerously close to "Boris is doing his best" territory here. Just swap the names. 

 

145,000 deaths. It's his job to keep that number down, he has failed.  Whitty is incompetent.

Really? Its his job to keep the number down? Whatever happened to taking preventative measures to help yourself? Agreed the UK gov has not covered itself in glory but my view, from afar , is that too many people think that sorting this out is somebody elses problem.

More lies there. 
 

Are you going to tell me what liberties you’re losing or just admit you aren’t losing any and are yet again chatting wham?

Quote from Oxford's Prof James Naismith on masks - "The ONS survey results on prevalence shows that the Scottish and English approach to masking although formally different since July has made no meaningful difference to Delta."

Scottish and Welsh governments trying to pressure the British government into having an eight day isolation period for arrivals in the UK.

 

Presumably they'll also be refunding all the plane tickets, train tickets, bus tickets, PCR tests, etc...

Its not the people selling vaccines. Although they have already punted a vaccine to help , its European govs that panicked and immediately stopped flights etc . This was the cause of the panic.

Making any non-reversible medical process compulsory is a slippery slope!



Yeah it can lead to things like the eradication of small pox.

Polio, diptheria and measles too.

I'm sure the fact we now have real world data from this country showing how effective mask mandates are will be resolutely ignored.

Saving people’s lives my arse it’s just scaremongering and making us put masks on the bastards.

I lost an uncle to this in July, my lad had it two weeks and lost 2 stone. This shit is not going away any time soon. Wear a mask, take precautions, stay well.

No, that can't be true, they still have a mask mandate there.

It's just possible that the infected people have been flown in from South Africa or another country where it's been detected don't you think.

Of course it's his job, he's the Chief Medical Officer. At the outset of this we were told 20,000 deaths would be a good result. We've got eight times that many and we're not done yet, so by that very objective measurement Whitty and his colleagues have performed badly. 

 

I agree that people should take on more personal responsibility, particularly with regard to their behaviour when it comes to mixing indoors, mask wearing and so on. However, people look to their leader to set a good example and ours is walking through Hexham General without a face mask.

Yeah the chief medical officer who the likes of the daily Mail call doctor death.

Correction - ignored and negged.

 

This is the problem with people who hold faith positions. They hate it when facts and reality challenge their worldview.

Small pox was a sterilising vaccine which prevented transmission. The Covid vaccines are non-sterilising leaky vaccines. There is no comparison.

It was a mandate, he said mandates were a slippery slope as if we haven't had them before, we have.

Johnson is a plonker we know that but you really shouldnt be needing him to set examples. I dont think anybody at the outset of this pandemic could have accurately predicted the numbers . There is a very good probability that this virus was amongst the public in some parts of the world as early as August 2019. The Chinese government keeping it quiet did not help matters.

Back it up with evidence. You ignore reality and spread your rhetoric and ignore when questioned on it. You push absolute bullshit and have on this thread since the beginning. For the 5th time, what liberties are you losing?
