Accrington Web - Corona Virus

Now call me cynical, but they could be given vaccinations that are just sterile water or saline...so I don't buy that Google Page Ranking trick...and in any case if Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock have had the virus, then WHY do they need a vaccination?
Just asking out of interest.

I won't be having it.

just wonder if those three getting vaccinated on screen may sporn another reality tele show. we can vote off joey essex, gemma collins or katy the price is right due to their reactions after getting jabs. the winner could then be the first in line for the next vaccinations for any new virus. no there is more chance of me hugging an illegal immegrant than me getting jabbed.

Re: Corona Virus

I worry about long tern effects because I care - not so much for me ('cause I'm old) but for all those who still have a lifetime of living in front of them, and Cashy you might try to put it across like it doesn't bother you at all but you care about them, too.

Cashy, you are right...everyone needs to weigh up the pro’s and cons...you have to do what you feel comfortable with....what suits you.
Those who want to take the vaccine can do that...and those who do not want it are absolutely no risk to those who have protected themselves.

Re: Corona Virus

Think SOP’s stand for Standard Operating Procedures, but I am happy to be corrected if this is not right.

The SOP of this Government is that it's gone from SNAFU to FUBAR in less than twelve months.:rolleyes:

Re: Corona Virus

Cashy, I will just say one more thing about this and then I’ll shut up (at least for now). If there are any problems, short or long term (and apologies for my spelling mistake in my previous post – as we all know a tern is a seabird and not a period of time), it wouldn’t matter how sensible a person is - once that jab goes in then that’s it, it will not discriminate between the sensible and the other sort. If there are any adverse outcomes then these could affect anyone, sensible or otherwise.

I just can’t understand how the COVID vaccines can be safely rolled out so quickly when it normally takes so long for vaccines to be considered safe to use. That is my concern, and of course it IS up to the individual to make the decision to jab or not to jab.

One thing about this forum, it certainly educates – like you, Cashy, I didn’t have a clue what those letters stood for but now my education has gone up a notch, many thanks to Margaret for explaining what they mean (albeit the watered down version).

funny how the germans and french do not seem as excited about the vaccinations as plenty do in this country. there could also be another problem once people have had there jabs. can see a lot thinkung that they should immediatly be allowed to get back to normal life themselves and not having to wait a few months longer.

Re: Corona Virus

My apologies to the Luddites of this world :) military & ex-military folk tend to use army speak even after leaving the forces, just one of the little foibles we keep & carry on through our lives.

But as you can see, the goodly folk of AW have once again charged to the fore to enlighten the the less enlightened (every day's a school day folks :D) now where else would you find such knowledgeable contributors? ;)

So for you "Civvies" here is a little insight into the "lean green fighting machine"
