...very sad case, these people bought onto the swathes of media and online BS and paid with their lives. What can be done?

pixie - // Andy, I can honestly say though- at least on AB- I have never seen a thread about somebody dying from the vaccine, and regretting that. I'm a pro-vaxxer- and even i can see how dodgy it looks, when only one side is ever presented. //

Indeed.

Once again this is the downside of social media.

Years ago if you wanted to be a flat-earther, you could mutter in the pub and be laughed at and forgotten.

Now any nonsense from any idiot goes around the world and the simply law of averages means that a percentage is going to believe anything from any source, however far-fetched the information, and unqualified the source may be.

YMB: "Just out of interest why? " - see roadman at 12:35

[youngmafbog]

Pixie @13:18, exactly my point.

It gives fuel to the conspiracy bunch

I am vaccinated too, but I can see the problem.

[ToraToraTora]

YMB: "If you have been vaccinated what extra risk to they pose to you? Even being vaccinated you can pass it on. " - it's not about me personally, this is a war and we all must do our bit, these ant vax types are like the conchies in WWI/II, they want the benefit of our efforts but they don't want to contribute to it, that's what I object to.

[youngmafbog]

Good grief, its not a war TTT, the reality is the vast majority of people have no problems with it whatsoever.

And I think Roadman's post is a typical example of wrong information on social media.

As Pixie has pointed out generally mutations get weaker so the host survives.

TTT, roadman at 12:35 couldn't be more inaccurate if he tried. Even you understood more than that.
Please explain though, how the vaccine is killing off the virus, quicker than it's able to mutate... it's a genuine question and you are clearly confident.

Forrest Gump has a line regarding this sort of idiocy and it is not the one about chocolates

I did not realise the vaccine was killing off the virus I thought it was helping us to cope with and stave off the effects of it

[ToraToraTora]

13:33, Pixie, I am sick of trying to explain things to you on this and other threads, I can beat my head against the wall ad infinitum and you ignore it and come back with contrarian bowlocks.

[pixie374]

So did I, SB. I'm trying to learn from TTT's expertise... that the vaccine will prevent mutation.

Stickybottle:-
//When a disease-causing agent, such as virus or bacteria, invades your body, your immune system recognises it as harmful and will trigger a response to destroy it.//

[ToraToraTora]

YMB, of course its a war what do you think we've been doing for the last 18 months. We've developed a weapon that works and we are winning. The morons are helping the enemy bu not using the weapon they've been given.

[pixie374]

You can or you can't... I wouldn't mention "other threads" lol. As you proved yourself wrong on the last one. Or, is that the problem?

[dannyk13]

[pixie374]

Btw, I ignore it if you're clearly talking out of your backside. If you are unable to explain properly, that's ok.

[ToraToraTora]

ok listen up:
the vaccine does not kill off the virus neither does it provide immunity. What it does is train the immune system to fight off the infection quicker and more robustly, end of.

[burlyshirley]

Bobbi is entitled to her opinion and it is one I share. Do you really think that the majority of the people who don't want to be vaccinated have not looked into it in great detail and weighed up all the pros and cons ? Of course they have and some are not satisfied, for whatever reason, that it is right for them and that is their prerogative - we are NOT a police state, yet ...

And anne, by the same token, will you not respect Bobbi's opinion too ??

[pixie374]

I think we know that, Danny... it's more the timings of what happens quickest.

[pixie374]

Obviously, ttt.

[Stickybottle]

Well in the case of the vaccine I must go with Forrest
Stupid is as stupid does
Anyone not having it is simply an idiot nothing less
