Jab

[francish]

who. is looking f0rward to the virus jab

[pixie374]

The problem with compulsory vaccinations, though, is if there are problems or side effects, it makes the government totally responsible, if you don't have informed consent and choice. It's a huge risk for them. Even if you ignore human rights etc.

[Bobbisox1]

I can't think of anyone who'd " look forward to a jab"
Or do you mean looking forward to having it rolled out, if so, Yes, I am

[SlackAlice]

I'm not fond of anyone sticking a needle in me, but I'll probably have this one when I get to the top of the list. I suspect it will be a yearly affair similar to the flu jab.

[ichkeria]

It won’t be compulsory
It would be unenforceable and unnecessary anyway

[bednobs]

plus I read there will be people it wont be suitable for anyway

[teacake44]

11.52 Being asked to stay at home ,is not being forced, besides you were allowed out to shop and exercise, and all the above is not an assault.

[ichkeria]

People were effectively being curved to stay inside.
Another unenforceable rule but nonetheless.
Expecting people to do that without symptoms and without any prospect of a test to “let them off” was never going to work.
It still made more sense than making vaccination compulsory, aside from the fact that the latter is unnecessary anyway.
What would happen if not enough people took it up I’m not sure: nothing I expect, but the prospect is serious enough to warrant the government going to cyber war against Russia and other governments trying to spread disinformation

[ichkeria]

“Forced” not “curved”

You are not allowed out to shop or exercise if self isolating

[woofgang]

the way flu vaccine is being taken up this year, I don't think there will be any need to make the covid vac compulsory.

[Ken4155]

This 'rumour' wouldn't have been started on FB by any chance, would it?
Perhaps the compulsory vaccination will be enforced by employing army snipers to shoot anti-vaccers with darts loaded with mRNA vaccine:-)

[teacake44]

Again they can't make it compulsory. Regarding isolating,I didn't witness anyone being forced only requested with the possibility of a fine. The only way they could possibly get more people to have the vaccine ( the ones that didn't want it) is to make life difficult for them, banning them from over seas travel my be, hotels not accepting you, but the logistics of that would more than likely wear a little thin over time.

//Being asked to stay at home ,is not being forced,...//

We've not been "asked" to stay at home. We've been told to, under threat of criminal sanctions. I quote from the latest English regulations:

"Restrictions on leaving home

5.—(1) No person may leave or be outside of the place where they are living without reasonable excuse."

So let's tell it how it is: you have to have an acceptable excuse to set foot outside your front door. I know the list of "reasonable excuses" is quite broad. But that isn't the point. The legislation means that if challenged you must justify the reason for being outside your home. And I never thought I'd see the day when that was the case in the UK.

If the vaccination means this tyranny ends them I'm all for it. But judging by the handling of the pandemic so far I can't imagine the health service managing to deliver it in a timely fashion to a large enough number of people to make a difference any time soon.

[teacake44]

Yes NJ I've read you're views and rules many times, I'm now NJ drunk. But lets stick to the jab. It can't be forced up on you.

[teacake44]

Plus you've said many many times, all these rules can be broken without to much trouble, Have you not?

[ichkeria]

“ I didn't witness anyone being forced only requested with the possibility of a fine”

That did make me laugh :-)

NJ

//////The legislation means that if challenged you must justify the reason for being outside your home.////

That seems reasonable to me in the middle of a spiralling out of control pandemic.

///I can't imagine the health service managing to deliver it in a timely fashion to a large enough number of people to make a difference any time soon.//////

How about a glass half full for once NJ?

[Arksided]

I'm still awaiting my flu jab (Asthmatic) Local surgery closed, the one appointed to isn't too far but one appointment cancelled due to being overbooked second one cancelled due to lack of supplies... so I hold little hope of getting one for C19.

I have no problem with needles, worst thing I've seen was the nurse pulling the staples out of my youngest Bro's stomach after an Appendicitis op.

[woofgang]

yes we haven't managed to get ours yet.

[agchristie]

Looking forward to the jab? Not really...

Btw,at 2.20am today a police car pulled over while I was out walking.He asked me wot I was doing and I told him I was getting some exercise.He said ok,watch wot ure doin and drove off!

[teacake44]

ichkeria Glad I was able to cheer you up. They can't force you to wear a seat belt, only fine you if they see you not wearing one. I've never seen a police officer forcing a belt round someone. This should also make you laugh. :0)
