Kebabs For Jabs?

Why should they be ‘bribed’ to get the vaccine, if they haven’t had it !it means they don’t want it !!!
And that’s surely where it should stop?

I heard this on the radio this morning and nearly spat my coffee out !! Only I heard they were offering them pizza. Do people really think that someone not committed to the jabs will be swayed by the offer of free pizzas or kebabs ?? Bloody ridiculous in my opinion. When are we just going to let all this drop and LIVE with the virus, like we do with the flu virus and just...

What if they died? How much personal responsibility would you be prepared to take, if you persuaded... an ABer, say... to have a vaccine and they died? All, none, some?
This is healthcare.
Nonsense point. Chances of dying from the vaccinne are almost nil. Chances of being very ill or dying from covid are much higher. Might as well say how can vaccinators live with themselves knowing they could be injecting death.

I think it does matter. Healthcare decisions- and risks- should be between the patient and GP, if necessary. Not online opinions... individuals aren't all just statistics.
It's fair enough for an energy company, or a bank account, or something guaranteed to be physically harmless.
But, if there is even the slightest risk to health or life- nobody else should be deciding what is "better".

When the settled residency scheme was launched in March 2019 for EU citizens who want to remain in the EU after Brexit, it was estimated there were 3.7m EU citizens living in the UK. It was thought around 3m of them would apply for settled status. By 31st May 2021 over 5.6m applications had been received. It is believed that there are still many EU citizens living here who have not applied under the scheme (hence the calls to extend the deadline) and estimates put the total at between 6m and 8m. So the government's estimates of those who actually are here are out by at least 2m and that figure may be as much as 4.3m. This, of course, is just EU citizens. It does not account for those who have arrived who are not from the EU.
At present the figures the government publish have shown that some 38.3m people have had both jabs. They say this represents 72.5% of the adult population, so the adult population figure used must be 52.8m. If that figure is 2m out and is actually 54.8mm then the takeup is only 69.8%. If the error is at the upper end of the suspected range and the adult population is actually 57.1m, then the takeup is only 67.0%. At the current rate of first dose takeup it takes over three weeks to vaccinate 1m people.
So these figures are significant and demonstrates that the general malaise exhibited about not knowing or caring how many people are in the country is irresponsible to say the least.
