"Local gp practice rang me up the other day asked if I wanted a vaccine and if so when I was available. Told them I didn't require it as work outside, fairly healthy, walk 8 miles a day etc and there were more people in the world that needed it. Surgery was fine, didn't try and persuade me or said I was wrong. "That is right. Nobody will be forced to have a jab, and every one has the right to choose. | |||

"Even when you get the vaccine you can still spread it. The vaccine just protects you so if you catch it basically makes the out come a lot less for yourself. It does not stop the spreading of the actual virus " BUT.... if you have the virus for a shorter time, you have less chance to infect others. | |||

"As I said all they’re doing it harming themselves had the situation been different then yes it would have had devastating ramifications but luckily most have taken the vaccine.

"This thread made me think, the people who have had the vaccine maybe more likely to spread it, as they may not have as obvious symptoms as someone who has not had it, and they are likely to not feel very ill therefore not realise that they may have have contacted it." Indications at this stage show the vaccines also minimise transmission, which is excellent news. | |||

"Even when you get the vaccine you can still spread it. The vaccine just protects you so if you catch it basically makes the out come a lot less for yourself. It does not stop the spreading of the actual virus " Vaccination very dramatically reduces the likelihood of you spreading the virus! This fact is being downplayed to discourage vaccinated people changing their behaviour which would inevitably reduce levels of compliance amongst the unvaccinated! If you have had chicken pox you now have immunity to chicken pox. Chicken pox can still get into your body but is quickly neutralised by your immune system. As someone immune to chicken pox you could transmit it to someone else but it is very very unlikely. | |||

There really is no right or wrong decision. There are thousands of people who CAN'T have the vacinne for one reason or another. Will you tell them to "stay away from people"? If you knew me personally who'd know I am one on the most unselfish people you'd meet. I always put others before me and do whatever I can to help people. Everyone's circumstances are different, I believe everyone should be allowed to do their own risk assessment and make their own decisions. You don't know my circumstances and I don't know yours. I don't judge. #bekind #bekindalways | |||

Looking at the Yellow Card Data and VAERS data (which isn't true data as not all people know about it - truly believe everyone who has a vacinne should have to register even if it's to records no side effects) shows that there are a lot of people suffering long term effects after having the vacinne. | |||

"By all means don’t have the vaccine if you don’t want it But Don’t turn up at hospital saying I need to be cared for when you catch it Same as smokers shouldn’t be treated for lung cancer you knew the risks why should the rest of us pay for your care " Whether you've had the vacinne or not you can still catch Covid. The data from the original trials (before they were released for emergency use only) show that a percentage of people did and some were even hospitalised. Would you say the same thing to someone who had the vacinne and had adverse side effects? | |||

If only it was as simple as those who are vaccinated are protected and those that arent take the risk. Those that arent are taking the risk for everyone. Thats the nature of virus's they need a host to thrive and survive and an unvacinated person is a very yummy host indeed. As for me having the vaccine, well yes in that way im happy im less at risk of severe illness but I will still be maintaining social distancing because I dont want to risk transmitting the disease to anyone, vulnerable or otherwise. | |||

"The vaccines help our society to become more functional and safer for us all. No vaccine is perfect and not everyone can have them. Thus we are helped to achieve everyones' goals and health through as many people as possible having the vaccine as possible. We develop our individual immunity to each help others. 1 person stopped from being infected, may be a life saved. All vaccines are our own choice of whether to have them or not. With new variants emerging, our collective safety will be helped by as many people being protected and helping to protect others as possible. We have more vaccine than the whole population, so it's a great opportunity to help diminish the damage that the virus can cause here. Every jab may be 1 less mutation that could occur. " | |||

"We lets hope you don't catch it and pass it on to someone who mite die of covid, its very nice of you to help out for the grater good
Why does everyone seem to think the vaccine stops the spread - it doesn’t!!! It reduces the persons chances of getting really poorly and in turn helps the nhs..... the government are only worried about protecting the nhs, not the people!!
It’s not selfish - it’s personal choice
Well said!
I work with someone who has had both their vaccines and still caught Covid.
The vacinnes do not make you invincible x"i know someone who used a condom and still had a baby , condoms dont make you invisible , bareback all the way
you see the logic? not having 100% protection is a daft justification for avoiding all possible mitigation | |||

Cause and Effect is never guaranteed Y may have directly caused Z. It may not have directly caused Z. It may have contributed towards Z. It may have combined with another comorbidity, which was unrelated but actually caused Z. 2. Lifestyle Y may be perfectly legal. It may not. It doesn't matter. 3. Treatment Z has a cost implication. Some of those costs can be astronomical. Sure, private insurance can cover some of the cost. But not everyone can afford private insurance. By requiring them to do so, you are charging them to enjoy their lifestyle, in essence double taxation. Some won't be able to perform the lifestyle. Bob loves rock climbing, but cannot afford the insurance to do so. So he stays at home, depressed, which also has a cost impact. It gets messy doesn't it ? Our existing system, whilst not perfect, is a heck of lot more compassionate and affordable (at the point of care) than many other countries. It is also less judgemental, if at all. It means we can all do things, without fear of recrimination, and exercise our freedoms fully, knowing that we all put in to the pot, and it's there for us when needed. No fuss, no hassle. And for those who cannot contribute...no worries...we got you covered too. | |||

You are immune to serious infection which is more manageable to control which puts less pressure on the hospital and the patient rather than being critical as for social distance because you have those who are against being vaccinated or those awaiting for vaccine but also stop further transmission if had the vaccine because it takes time to work plus you need both jabs so your immune system is able to adjust/adapt so technically if a person was given a stronger dose at one time this must be fatal | |||

We have vaccines that protect against severe illness and may also prevent transmission due to higher levels of immunity. Why is it even a decision to make? Surely for anyone with a smidgen of common sense and humanity knows it is a no brainer to protect themselves, thier loved ones and others. The people that take it, will be protected, the people that don’t... won’t. It’s their choice and they really aren’t affecting anybody but themselves. You really don’t need to bring all this civil obligation into it. Or is it a case of... “I’ve had my vaccine but if you have your vaccine my vaccination will work gooder” But then you are missing the point, the higher the percentage of people vaccinated the less chance for it to grow expotentialy and mutate into a more virulent strain (as has happened in South Africa and Brazil) so yes those that dont increase that risk to not just themselves but also to others, even those vaccinated. If only it was as simple as those who are vaccinated are protected and those that arent take the risk. Those that arent are taking the risk for everyone. Thats the nature of virus's they need a host to thrive and survive and an unvacinated person is a very yummy host indeed. As for me having the vaccine, well yes in that way im happy im less at risk of severe illness but I will still be maintaining social distancing because I dont want to risk transmitting the disease to anyone, vulnerable or otherwise. The mutant strains tend to be weaker than the original, this is how the virus mutates. It gets weaker and that’s how it survives. I wouldn’t worry too much about the mutant strains. As for being vaccinated and still maintaining social distance? I don’t understand this either... you’re still a carrier of the disease you are immune to? This is some crazy thinking it really is. We need to go back to the good old days, pre Covid, to remember what we had already learnt about diseases...This new crazy science is bonkers." Mutations are random, many probably dead ends. But those with an adaptive benefit have a greater potential to thrive. Your comments about it surviving because it's weajer is wrong. Any adaptive advantage can aid survival. Please relearn evolutionary principles and theory | |||

"Local gp practice rang me up the other day asked if I wanted a vaccine and if so when I was available. Told them I didn't require it as work outside, fairly healthy, walk 8 miles a day etc and there were more people in the world that needed it. Surgery was fine, didn't try and persuade me or said I was wrong. "I got my vaccine due to someone else turning their vaccine down -and am incredibly grateful for this - however I would never turn down the offer of a vaccine. You are unlikely to get ill from Covid but you cannot say you will never spread it to someone who could get seriously ill. | |||

"Makes sense given your circumstances, it is still a clinical trial at the moment so can understand people having reluctance to take part. Personally I think it’s quite shocking the way some people have reacted on here, it’s everyone’s personal choice, or should be, the fact that some people feel the need to dig you out, say you’re not fulfilling your civil duty is quite ridiculous really. It really is quite sad. Its everyone's choice whether they have it or not. like everyone has their own options. Some hospitals won't do ops unless you've had the jab" . Are You saying hospitals are refusing to treat people unless they’ve had the vaccination ?? | |||

"We lets hope you don't catch it and pass it on to someone who mite die of covid, its very nice of you to help out for the grater good
Why does everyone seem to think the vaccine stops the spread - it doesn’t!!! It reduces the persons chances of getting really poorly and in turn helps the nhs..... the government are only worried about protecting the nhs, not the people!!
It’s not selfish - it’s personal choice
It is selfish, by not having the vaccine other people are put at risk. If they are entitled to choose to put other people at risk, I am damn well entitled to judge them for it and call them selfish.
It also does reduce the spread btw." | |||

"That’s all very well but there’s not exactly a shortage of vaccines in the U.K. or likely to be as the government has ordered sufficient for everyone with plenty to spare. 50% of hospitalisations and deaths in South America are due to the P1 variant and it’s only a matter of time before it reaches the U.K. " The P1 variant is already here in the uk and various cases have been identified and the spread is being stopped. Currently the kent variant is the more dominant strain in the uk and europe and if nature follows its predicted course may become the dominant variant worldwide And the vaccines are all effective against it. They are also effe tive against the south african and brazil variants but maybe not to such a high level. And all the vaccine companies are working to improve that. It time to accept covid is here to stay and we need to leatn to live and deal with it. Like we do the flu and other viruses. | |||

The choice of being vaccinated or not lies with the individual and they must make that choice or decision _ased on the proven facts. Nobody should suffer discrimination or sanction if they choose not to be vaccinated. I have followed the science and decided to take the vaccine with a decision taken after speaking with my doctor and other healthcare professionals. | |||

They simply adjusted that focus to be Covid 19 specific and took away all the usual Business and political issues to allow sharing of information and development at pace. Of course every vaccine starts as an experiment and over time they become accepted (or not) the vaccine is a good thing in the fact it provides assurance for people to be able to live again. I do consider anyone not taking it as selfish short sighted and caught up in the regular conspiracy hyperbole. It’s not about you | |||

One thing is certain and that is the pandemic is real and in my view the best way to try and deal with it would be to follow the scientific advice to try and limit the damage. | |||

The data of 2.6 million can be confirmed on the website of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee, page entitled "Flu vaccination data for 2020/21" and there's an Excel file you can download. Also data on the Nuffield Trust website about how 2020/21 flu vaccine uptake compares against other years and against other countries/internationally.

True believer that everyone has a choice and others should respect their decision regardless.
