Catching covid is nowhere near as life threatening as being bitten by a snake......I hate snakes!
How do you know you wont catch Covid? And for some of us that are clinically extremely vulnerable Covid is very life threatening

I'm not 'Some of us' KP, you have no idea the kind of life I live.... And that's why I can safely say that I will never catch covid...It has been over one year since covid was first discovered here in the UK, and I haven't caught it yet....
I don't have the flu jab either, and it's been 26 years since I last had the flu....And now I'm retired I don't mix with 99% of the people I used to mix with. You have to catch covid off someone else who has it....So I stay away from other people....

You make a good point OGF.

I haven't had flu for as long as I can remember, if at all, and I have no signs of having contracted Covid.

Why?

Because I don't go out very often, and when I do I keep away from other people. I don't go to anyone else's house either.

Yes, we go to the supermarket when we need to, but wear masks and keep away from other people who all seem to be wearing masks too.

It has to be said, though, that I have had my first vaccine which, according to the various sources, gives me some protection from catching the virus or, at least, feeling anything if I do.

It is all down to sensible behaviour... and, I suppose, good luck.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

Back to the vaccinations

My son had the Astra Zeneca jab this morning, ok at the moment.

He has been given a date for his 2nd jab, 7th June.

My daughter (his twin) is quite envious that he has now been vaccinated and she hasn’t!

If an individual has made a decision, whatever their reasons, not to get vaccinated then it is unlikely they will change their mind.

Surely, that's the wrong way round Annie. You can't be 'radicalised' for doing nothing....You are merely 'Abstaining' to follow the crowd is 'radicalisation'....

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

Doubt that it would be considered to insist those abstaining from covid jab, for non-medical reason, had to sign a disclaimer taking full responsibility for their decision.
