A gentle reminder that the bloke that started all this is a multimillionaire living in Hollywood with Elle McPherson. 
 

No idea why other people are so keen to continue the grift.

Ably assisted by various cunts like Melanie Phillips in the Mail who wanted something to have a go at Tony Blair with.

Apparently The Offspring have booted out their drummer because he wouldn’t get vaccinated.  The lead

singer, now a microbiologist with a phd and thesis on AIDS research, told him to fuck off. The word

is a weird place.

Anyone sum this up?

Pretty fly for a vaccinated guy.

So vaccines are to be offered to 16/17 year olds. I have one of those so there will need to be a discussion imminently.
 

Ultimately it will be up to him, but I’d like to be able to present accurate facts and both sides of the argument so he has what he needs to make an informed decision. 
 

I’d like him to have it, of course, but there is a worry that if it does lead to long term negative effects (not the nut job stuff) then I don’t want to live with the guilt that I forced it on him in some way. 
 

I’m sure he’ll have it, if offered, but I’m just being honest in saying I have more worries/doubts over him getting it than I did about myself or his mother. 
 

What approach would you suggest GFers?

Tell him to get back round the lezzers and take pics.

I think you are playing it correctly. It's his personal choice and should be respected.

I told my kids (albeit in their 20s) that they needed to weigh up the risks themselves and make their own decision. 

 

My son, well he had the jab. My two daughters were not so sure. Since then one has contracted Covid and wished she'd have had the jab and the other then decided to have the jab. 

 

I don't agree with shaming or threatening people to have the jab, just as I don't really agree with incentives. But I agree that people need access to proper medical information to make an informed decision. The problem we seem to have in the last decade is that society has become so polarised that it's almost impossible to do that as both sides shout at each other and use insults. 

 

I didn't have to think about the jab, for me the slight risks were outweighed by the benefits, I can understand the hesitancy the young may have.

 How long do the jabs offer immunity for?

Vaccines do not give you immunity.

I guess it’s the difference between his bedroom and sleeping in the shed.

A choice that will also prepare him for the delights of cohabiting with a female of the species.

The best thing to do is tell him to read all 1581 pages of this thread.

Or perhaps just the three pages that aren’t Stig and SD flirting with each other.

I do know what you mean but they do not. I think they are seeing some "breakthrough" cases after 6 weeks at this point. Right now they (gubmints) are banking on the hospitalization numbers of vaccinated folks being really, really low - like low single digits , and they have been. I had a double Pfizer jab in May and am pretty sure I had it a few weeks ago.

Going to look into an antibody test next.

Have to agree with this approach. My 2 are in their 30's down in Oz. My daughter has just had the Astra jab whereas my lad wants to wait for the pfizer vaccine a choice made by themselved.

The roll out hasn’t really helped matters.  Me and the missus staggered our vaccines cause we’d a new born to look after, so didn’t wanna get sick at the same time.  She had her Astra jab, no real problems, one night of feeling unwell.

 

I book mine and they ring a week later to cancel.  We’re no longer giving Astra to your age group cause it’s deemed unsafe, oh tell your missus to come back for her second jab of it.

 

I then had to travel fecking miles to get a different one.  Loads wouldn’t bother in this scenario.
 

Can’t really say I’m all too happy with this push to vaccinate kids.  My daughter won’t be getting it any time soon.  Her older girl is 14, so that’ll be entirely down to them two.  I’ve took the wee one for all her newborn jabs cause there’s decades of evidence and other guina pigs before her.
