Re: Wonderful News! (Vaccination trials successful)
That's interesting Dood. I can see the link between clickbait social media and the growth of such views. So on the one hand you have Bill Gates trying to erradicate disease in the world by promoting vaccination in countries where it's scarce and on the other Zuckerberg's algorithm persuading those in the West to be anti vaxx. Ironic.

Everything we are doing to combat Covid is based on the infection rates posted daily on many official websites and the media. But what if the numbers are wrong?

Re: Wonderful News! (Vaccination trials successful)
I read a rather tongue-in-cheek article in today's paper.Quote:
" I'm fascinated by people who shout: "It's an attack on my civil liberties" because they are asked to wear a face mask in shops.
They seem to think they are freedom-fighters, like Nelson Mandela.
"It should be a matter of choice what I wear" they say.
Maybe that's true, and that right is more important than any potential health risk.
In the same way, if I want to let some crocodiles loose in a school playground, that should be my right, and I don't see why I should be stopped by some interfering teacher.
Some of them are now angry about the vaccine. "I won't be vaccinated," they say. "I read an article on the internet that says the vaccine will be full of weapons-grade plutonium so you light up in the dark to enable the CIA to track you at night so they can keep fiiles about which side of the bed you sleep in. And on top of that, it turns you into a zebra."
I think the point they are trying to make is, we were much healthier before we had medicine, back in the 12th century when we had a life expectancy of six."
Unquote.
Wild exaggeration? So are some of the tales on the internet.

Zuckerberg didn't get where he is today by thinking there is anything more important than clicks.

Does the bloke still write for the paper or has he been sacked for wasting valuable space....
Who is this bloke that is telling me to have the vaccine and wear a mask?
If I have the vaccine, is he prepared to sign a document to pay me damages if anything goes wrong? How can a so called journalist tell me what is best for my health?
Is he suggesting that everyone who refuses to have a vaccine and subscribes to his opinions would let crocodiles loose in a schoolyard? What a stupid and irresponsible thing to print. And does he assume that everyone refusing the vaccine believes that there is plutonium or some connection to 5G hidden in the vaccine?
Would he have printed the same argument about thalidomide?
Did you know that big pharma have now placed a clause in the legal stuff exonerating them from any blame or claims made by individuals should there be an adverse reaction to the vaccine...?
And does he think that everyone in the 12th century died at the age of six because they didn't have vaccines in those days? Praise be to the NHS and big pharma!
Could it be that people died young in the 12th century because they didn't live in a centrally heated house with clean running water and an efficient sewage system, or have a car on the drive, or a Tesco at the end of the street, or a government that will pay you when you get sick or retire, and because they didn't sit on their arses all day writing shite....
