Am I Really As Bad/Ignorant As My Family For Not Trying To Persuade Them To Get Vaccinated?

They're grown ups, they have to decide.

I can't persuade one of my daughters to get the vaccine, and the more I go on about it, the more she is determined not to get it.
I find it very worrying actually.

I now see why you have asked this looking at your earlier thread and seeing the replies.

If you have never so much as tried to encourage your family then to me you aren't a bad person, just one who could at least try.

If you have tried to no avail then there's little more you can do.

If somebody is over the limit with alcohol but is driving safely and a suicidal person jumps from a bridge straight in front of their car, the "drunk" but safe driver will still be prosecuted for causing death whilst drink driving.

I liken this to ANYBODY who refuses the jab NEVER receives any NHS help again - childbirth, cancer, old age, A&E - absolutely nothing.

They are causing some of the problem.

My taxes are paying for the jab for the good of the nation. If they refuse it, they are, by default, not part of my "national" Britain.

Our daughter's mother-in-law absolutely refused to have the jab. There was no persuading her. She died from Covid in January.

Having been saved from Covid by the NHS once, this selfish anti-vac bustard still refuses to get vaccinated.

Anti-vaxers (unless they have a sound medical reason) should be denied free NHS treatment for Covid-19.

My whole extended family have had the jag - except my son (51) who absolutely refuses to even contemplate it. Given up nagging.

NHS treatment isn't 'free' and 'anti-vaxers' pay for it as well!

[Gizmonster]

As much as I'm strongly for the vaccination (I've had both jabs), you can't really deny NHS treatment to someone, for refusing to have the vaccine.
Would you deny treatment to a smoker who gets cancer or some other complication?
Would you deny treatment to an alcoholic who develops kidney and liver problems?
Would you deny treatment to someone overweight who develops some weight-related complications?
The list goes on ........

It's clearly a mental health issue and should be treated as such.

Just don't let them drive or have anything sharp.

Complete BS!

[ToraToraTora]

maggie: "My whole extended family have had the jag " - wow they give you a car in Scotland?

[douglas9401]

Kathyan, bless. x

[Kathyan]

Don't be so bloody patronising.

[douglas9401]

Well don't be so bloody unaware of your surroundings.

You've been here a while now.

[Peter Pedant]

dougie I read your every word
hang on them
await, anticipate - - gag for even

as I put you in the class of "less crazy than the av Aber"

[patronise purposefully, proud papa]

[bakerwales]

My Friends daughter who is in her fories refused to have the jab and persuaded her two daughters not to have it either. All three are laid up with Covid. The mother is particularly ill with it. Will it take their mother passing away to have the jab??

[douglas9401]

I'm humbled.

[Kathyan]

Ahh so that's it then. If I don't agree with a certain few, then I don't belong here. Is that what you're saying? I've thought it for quite a while now but you've made it quite clear with that comment. Thanks and goodbye.
