Theirs is a much wider spread, more rural, population than ours. We were pretty relaxed down here too and never felt isolated. As soon as the strict restrictions were relaxed, and small groups could meet, we started playing bowls again, maintaining hygiene and social distancing. Our pub opened for take away food, and served a pint or two whilst it was prepared. It was different in the big cities.

I don't think too many actually got fined did they! More a way to encourage compliance than anything else.

Just one statistic? Shall we go through all the rest of the statistics? It ranges from 94/5 percent to 99 percent for recovery from covid.

Fortunately for me my informed decision to remain unvaccinated seems to be the correct choice. There is countless people comming down with side effects. Some have even died from the vaccine. This is common knowledge.

I have explained that my informed decision does not affect anyone else and is backed up by the science. It's clear as day! The vaccine doesn't stop transmissions or from catching covid. What little protection the vaccine gives only lasts up to a month.

Extremely selfish of you to expect someone who has done a risk assessment and decided themselves the risks of not getting the vaccine far outweigh that of getting it.

I would never tell you not to get it nor anyone else. You made your decision good for you. But don't continue to be a selfish and expect someone to risk serious side effects to "protect" you when clearly the science says it won't.

Anyways I have provided you with 2 prices of proof. With the recovery rate of people catching covid and the serious side effects. Proof that does not fit your narrative.

That's much more than I realised. Do you know where, and who issued them? It didn't happen here.

I think it's generally accepted NZ went very hard, very early and the people there hated it. I think they were trying to keep the country Covid free, but as soon as it found its way in it was always going to spread somehow.

It worked though. Their mortality rate from infections was 0.1% whilst the UK and Sweden were both 0.9%

I think an almost 1% death rate from those infected is pretty appalling, whilst 5.5% is a disaster. You make light of that as much as you wish. Selfish people tend to do that. People who care about others don't.

There aren't countless people coming down with vaccine side effects! That's just bs conspiracy theory. Where are they? I haven't seen or heard of one. There will be an isolated reaction, some serious, but there is with every medicine or procedure. Just as there is with everything in life. I was almost killed by a Venetian blind which fell out of a 10th floor window, cut a lump off my briefcase and the toecap off my shoe. Doesn't mean Venetian blinds are dangerous and not to be trusted, does it. I still use them.

The vaccines stop transmission temporarily, which is useful, but they stop severe disease for a long time and that's what's really important. It's also what you deliberately ignore.

Severe disease is what puts people in hospital. The vaccinated are less likely to require hospitalisation. The unvaccinated more likely. QED. The unvaccinated are selfish. Go ask the staff at your local hospital what they think about the unvaccinated. That's where the clarity is, day and night!

No-one says you cannot decide for yourself. You can. What I would like to see are consequences for those who, for selfish reasons alone, decide not to contribute to the national effort to overcome the pandemic. I want the vaccinated prioritised for NHS treatment. If you have deliberately contributed to making yourself sicker than you need to have been, then you go to the back of the queue, or go private, unless it's an emergency.

All you have provided is obvious bs. Stop digging!

Yet more B's and selfishness from you. I want smokers, overweight, drinkers druggies, people with unhealthy lifestyles at the back of the que for the NHS too.

All I see in your responses is pure discrimination against someone who made an informed decision about his own health. Which at the moment seems to be the correct decision and fully vindicated.

I have provided you facts and proof. Yet you continue to dismiss to fit your own agenda. Even with a 95 percent survival rate that is very good. Like you said yourself pretty much can't go around life without risk ;-) so I will take my 95-99 percent survival rate over a vaccine with multiple side effects that could be dangerous for me. As per the official NHS website. Is the NHS website also BS in your book or are to too set in your ways to admit you are wrong?

Extremely selfish of you to expect others to risk their lives and their help just for your own outdated unscientific views.
