Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,663 Posted December 3, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 3, 2021 I don't think compulsory vaccination is the solution in the scenario we find ourselves in. At the same time, the hysterical 'muh fweedom' brigade or however you want to describe them need to stop acting as if it's unprecedented. There are already vaccinations for other illnesses that are compulsory for younger children, whether or not that's properly enforced, and certain countries require you to have had certain jabs or booster jabs before entering their territory for decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Compulsory vaccination is nonsensical whilst the majority of the globe remains unvaccinated, including people far more likely to be seriously ill than the majority of the West. The conduct of the West has been utterly shameful, from the anti vaxxers to the lockdown lovers. It’s hard to find anyone reasonable anymore, people love being able to finger wag. It is only the Western nations that have lost their heads over this, probably because other countries face bigger issues on a daily basis. Let’s hope the latest reports are true and it’s even milder than delta. If true that should mean we’re coming to the end, rather than starting again.

6666 1,310 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I don't understand why people are still so against the vaccinations. At first you could rationalise it with people just being unsure over a new vaccine and its side effects but we're past that point now aren't we? Even if you don't think it'll make a difference, it's far more convenient to just get it done and out of the way. Maybe there's someone that could explain the rationality behind being against the vaccine... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) The anti-vaxx mob are a small, stupid and irrelevant fringe. The idea that they are somehow to blame for the disease spreading is absolutely absurd. The people who want people to grass their fellow citizens for not wearing a mask or having a party are every bit a threat to our future as anti vaxxers.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 More people are dying of covid in central and Eastern Europe right now than the rest of the World combined. Trying to jab more people instead of handing all vaccines to Africa is not a surprise really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue 1,901 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Well, covid has been going around my daughters school and I've just tested positive again so even natural immunity only lasts so long, I had it right at the start. some of you will be hoping that I die see how i get on this time. stuck home for 2 weeks I think the isolation period?

Especially considering that protection from other coronaviruses (the ones that cause common colds) is also not long-lasting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This things never going away is it? nothing seems to work right now ..i'm going to try fight it off with 20hr a day fasting and zero sugar/carbs, try starve it off researchers found that the spike protein in corona virus needs a particular sugar to bind to our cells efficiently. Now the same group of researchers have completed a new study that further digs into the cell receptors to which sugars and thus bacteria and virus bind. 'We have established how the sugars bind to and activate the so-called Siglec receptors that regulate immunity. These receptors play a major role, as they tell the immune system to decrease or increase activities. This is an important mechanism in connection with autoimmune diseases', says the first author of the study, Postdoc Christian Büll from the Copenhagen Center for Glycomics (CCG) at the University of Copenhagen.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,663 Posted December 4, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 4, 2021 I think we've all let ourselves believe to some extent that the vaccine was going to stop this thing in its tracks more than it has. Right now we're dealing with a perfect storm of winter, a new mutation, the "first wave" infectees hitting the end of their natural immunity window and the same for the first wave of the vaccinated. We will get there though, it will fluctuate for a long time probably but science and medicine will continue to innovate and eventually quash this pandemic as far as we can reasonably expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waylander 166 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Well with over 30 mutations I personally think some dark forces are now trying to cash-in on this and I have further heard this virus is only mild. Bill Gates is pushing an idea for a smallpox vaccine and yes biolabs still have reserves of small pox. Now if Gates wanted to make a difference he might have gone into getting fresh water into places like Africa, instead he has opted to go into a business where they can make further money from patents. Guaranteed income as tax payers cough up and you can always threaten scientists with blacklisting if they don't do what you say. I have a child that is not vaccinated and ran rings around other kids at school, she won nearly every event and was in every team. She made head prefect of her school and selected as a future national leader though decided to step away from that. Now in her 20s she is working. She is not vaccinated and will only agree to do so if it detrimentally affects her livelihood. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
