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

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

That was my understanding too

[cashier]

We don't need a thread on every single unvaccinated person dying from Covid and saying on their deathbed 'I wish I'd been vaccinated'. Nothing can be done about it and it starts to sound like one of those irritating public service announcements that were on the radio and television early covid. Boring beyond belief and just earache after a while. The people who call this a war are as unintelligent as those who call leaving the EU, a divorce. No similarity at all.

People were say 'stupid is as stupid does' long before Forrest Gump was ever invented.

Stickybottle, the immune system does kill the virus read my link above.

So in a very small number of cases the Vaccinations have been fatal.

Do these anti-vax loonies stay off the roads because in a number of cases (a much higher number than Vax victims) the consequences are fatal.

/// The people who call this a war are as unintelligent as...///

As a Mensa member with an IQ of 150 I resent that - perhaps you could present a few facts to support your hypothesis instead of just resorting to smearing those who don't agree with you.

canary....I need a lie down!

[pixie374]

You should have done that first ;-)

[cashier]

You mean the way you smear anyone who disagrees with you? I didn't smear anyone. You obviously think you are superior to most people though.

It’s that sort of idea which just encourages the loonies :-)

Common sense is our friend here

Reality has shown that as usual there is nothing common about it
Idiocy and flat-earthing in combination with social media is the order of the day

Dats what dem is sayin’ I guess
Ha ha

[Peter Pedant]

countless thousands of videos on u tube that explain how the covid vaccine works

none can be described as complex

[Bobbisox1]

Teacake , you’re a pathetic coward, you’ve once again cherry picked what I’ve posted with your ‘some say’ FGS , man up or Woman up and stop hiding behind your innuendos!!!

[jno]

you mean science fiction isn't true, TTT. Awww

[eve1974]

TTT 10:46 //- don't you think that highlighting the possible consequences of not getting the vaccine are an important counterbalance to the whole spectrum of anti vaxxer/conspiracy theory bowlocks that infests the airwaves?//

No I don’t.

Those that have had the vac are not going to be influenced by anti vax folk.

The anti vaxers et al are not going to be swayed by covid death reports

Two separate camps entirely.

[eve1974]

I’ve become inured to the “news” reports on both sides.

I was dubious about the vac. I prevaricated.

I ended up choosing to have it.

Dunno if I was right or wrong but time will tell.

I think the “time will tell” brigade is on both sides.

Give us all a break from constant “news” stories

(Btw that plea is to media not the OP)
