‘ Unfortunately because a large majority, mainly those between 20 and 30 cant change their habits for a year or 2 to help the country get through it, we have people losing their lives just so these people can go and what... dance in a nightclub. Such a desperate requirement to be able to live.’
That’s nonsense. I’ve literally reactivated my account just to point out how much bollox that is.
People like me in that category of 20-30 sacrificed 15 months of a 32 month degree. No socialising. No lessons in classes. No shagging randoms and living the nightly life of a student getting pissed 6 nights a week. No sports clubs. Courses dramatically changed (my sports cocachint course lost the sports coaching element entirely). No discount on the degree. Still the same amounts. Landlords charging full rent and holding students to contracts pre-covid despite nobody needing to be there anymore as it was online. For a disease that was never likely to kill any of us. But we did it for the good of the country.
To read people like you throwing that effort away as though it’s just a load of us whining we can’t go ‘dancing in a nightclub’ is just nonsense and somebody had to point it out to you.

Agree with a lot of what you say Rommy, but curious about the shagging randoms bit.
A percentage you've made up based on looking at a protest on a TV, rather than the points raised in the replies.
The points raised are no different to the points i've raised, they are people's own opinions. So no I won't change my opinion on the back of other people's thoughts. Doesn't mean you can't continue to have your own thoughts of course.
I'd take an estimate that 60% of people in my social circle have no interest in ever taking these jabs, 20% have taken it and the other 20% are wait and see/unsure.

Difficult to get a vaccination centre set up in a swamp I guess.
Had to c&p this as I never seem able to link in my own posts -
"Masks post (p2) July 19 on 11:57 - Jul 5 with 608 views Ryorry What little research there is suggests that the vaccines do not work for quite a large section of the population - ie those with auto-immune illnesses such as asthma & IBD, and others such as patients currently receiving treatment for cancer - who are on immuno-suppressant meds."
And the stats I've seen are that vaccine efficacy against the Delta variant is only on av 64%, as opposed to approx 95% with the virus before that, and that the Delta variant is now the dominant one in the UK. I think Stokie has posted those stats on here somewhere.

Decreasing vaccine efficacy is certainly one issue on the side of the scales that urges caution.
Another is the long covid angle that's only now starting to get a bit more publicity. This short thread sums up the argument around that angle quite nicely (you've probably seen it if you're one of the Twitterers). He fails to emphasise that it's our children we are specifically targeting with this plan to deliberately infect (or rather not attempt to avoid infection), which makes it doubly irresponsible imo.
Sajid Javid acknowledges his policies will lead to 100,000 covid cases or more per day. REACT study shows that 40% of those infected - and 30% of young people infected - get Long Covid ONS study shows 65% of those with Long Covid find their lives restricted, 20% severely. pic.twitter.com/shVffLTIyx
It'll be a fascinating case study into the impacts of jest "letting it rip" to quote BJ's own words. This will keep academics busy for years, if not decades. Just a shame we have to be part of those studies!
In years to come, people will rue the 20-30 year olds who couldn't resist going out and partying in imaginary nightclubs that weren't even open during the pandemic.
