BenCotto - you are welcome to your interpretation. But Behavioural Science has long sought compliant populations for experiments on control. Some of those past experiments have been dubious in terms of methodology, to say the least. A large population that has acceded to state intervention is a perfect breeding ground for control. You may not see it that way. I am sceptical. My earlier training in the behavioural sciences leads me to a different conclusion.
I don’t drive and my passport has expired but I could still do everything ( pre Covid) except drive or go abroad. Both those documents are non essential if you don’t wish to travel to a different country or drive a vehicle and so are not the same as a passport to go into a public house or cinema. Maybe supermarkets will demand a passport, or dentists? Where will it end?
It’s not just antivaxers who aren’t vaccinated is it? It’s 1000s of younger people or people with valid reasons not to take the vaccine. I have had the vaccine, I don’t mind at all proving that if I wish to travel abroad but I don’t want to have to prove it to go to Asda. I don’t want to see people excluded from society for making a choice. Surely the whole point of the vaccine is to keep me safe if I am around others who haven’t had it? If it can’t do that what’s the point of it? I didn’t get the polio vaccine in case somebody else caught polio from me. I got it so I don’t get polio. My choice.
Young people have lost so much already and they are the ones who will be paying for this forever so I personally don’t agree with passports being used to access anything in this country. Other countries can make their own decisions.
Crickey what a debate,s lot of what is written on here sounds very much like my Bi polar son, when he is in a manic phase, unfortunately at the moment,20 years of this and autism, etc, telling me the government wants to kill him, because of a ridiculous back to work interview.on the subject of mass popular control,many year's ago,I had a brilliant hair dresser,Ron,who said religion was set for just that,God fearing, warning people of the fires of Hell,if they didn't comply
My wife has had her call for the vaccine but nothing for me yet. We're the same age, same surname, address etc. I'm happy enough to wait my turn but I wonder how they picked her if the system didn't pick me up at the same time?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@wild edges , my sis and her husband live in Wales. He's 4 years or so older than she is, but she got her vaccine first (no health issues for either of them). His appointment came through a few days later.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
@wild edges I totally agree with @BenCotto I wouldn't advise having vaccines done together. Thankfully we didn't, as I had a very bad reaction to mine and was ill for almost a week.
