If the strain is continually mutating, how can it be assumed that the current vaccince being offered will have any effect? Just thinking aloud, im sure there will be someone along shortly to educate me. | |||

How would we know the outbreak came from the unvaccinated."Sorry I should rephrase An outbreak which results in people being hospitalised/dying (which is what actually matters) If they found that the vast majority in hospital following said outbreak were unvaccinated (medical records) then there's no logic to locking down the vaccinated population again | |||

"Honestly I have a absolutely no idea.. I think everyone who is able to have it should, but then don't believe we should force people to have it, but then there are so many vulnerable who can't makes it seem to others it csmt be that important, but we know it is, but what tje people who won't don't get in their head is they are the reason people will have to continue to shield..."

"Hmmm don’t have the figures to hand but if the strain on the NHS was caused by the whole population being exposed and susceptible to the virus, then if the unvaccinated only represent a small proportion of the population, then it follows (statistically) that they won’t put an increased strain on NHS! It’s not as if the virus can target one group or another. The virus will enter a person due to social contact. There is no reason to think the proportions will change? Unless the unvaccinated start having special festivals or something? | |||

I'm not getting too much into this topic, sorry. I'm not sure I'm pro "forced" vaccination, at least not outside certain settings like healthcare. But I suppose, in the event of an outbreak (in the future when Covid is more like the threat of measles)... I think, who is responsible for this? Is it those who cannot contribute to herd immunity (or tried and failed), or those who chose not to? Why lock up the vulnerable - or everyone - when we can shield the vulnerable with the vaccinated herd, and contain the unvaccinated? | |||

"Don't we need to know if it's a problem or not first before possibly creating an issue where none need exist..? How many? How much if at all they interact and with whom? How many infections. Etc... "most" (how many) hospitalisations are people who have not had both jabs... So how many have had one jab... And by inference does that imply that one jab is efficacious or that it is not? You see you can read the numbers in many ways and arrive at differing conclusions. " | |||

So what happens when the vaccinated start fill the hospitals with cytokine storms through antibody dependent enhancement - shall we lock them down for the rest of their lives??" its a hypothetical question based on the scenario described , i haven’t seen anyone saying in current circumstances hold them down and get them jabbed its as the OP says a moral dilemma , like the trolley/ train with 2 tracks problem | |||

"I like being ‘vaccine hesitant’ rather than being classed as an anti vaxxer. To be clear my reasons for not getting the covid vaccine is based on previous experience with the MHRA and the FDA’s approval of pelvic mesh without further requirements for medical trials after it was initially approved decades ago and the subsequent issues it has caused which can be found on any goggle search. Their approval of any vaccine in such a short period of time does not fill me with confidence. The MHRA Yellow Card scheme is being used to record side effects from the vaccines. If they are so safe why are there so many follow up research projects being carried out? What hasn’t been addressed are the people who aren’t registered with a GP or have moved and not registered with a new GP. Many of these will be people not entitled to NHS health care due to their immigration status and won’t receive letters for appointments. Cultural differences need to be addressed. Even in India they are refusing the vaccines. What we should have done is close the airports and borders and we wouldn’t be in this situation with an Indian or April 21 variant.

Back to the moral dilemma - both groups are being forced to do something against their will that will benefit the other group!" Being vaccine hesitant, this is exactly the fear: -considering the mRNA vaccines, which have never before been licensed -now have an authorisation for emergency use -where there are peer reviews which are generally by experts paid by the government or associated with institutions which are heavily funded by the government and/or those who stand to have a massive financial gain and could therefore be likely heavy influencers -where those who have different opinions with relevant credentials and industry experience are being silenced, censored, disreputed and stand to lose license to practice and/or their livelihoods, in other words are putting everything at stake to speak out I most certainly would hesitate to have entire populations vaccinated by mandate without knowing more over the longer term by monitoring those who are willing to take the risk and have taken it (I, as a healthy individual and a single mother just would not, based on my own personal risk analysis for me), God forbid, those experts who are advising caution are right?! Just imagine the likes of antibody dependent enhancement or the cytokinetic storm becoming a reality when those who are vaccinated come into contact with the real virus?! And there are millions vaccinated, including the ENTIRE healthcare professionals!!! The next couple of winters would be absolutely terrifying, for EVERYONE! | |||

"Anyone not bored by my posts will know by now that I really loathe the tribalist nature of social media because life is not binary and arguments are not black & white but instead many shades of grey. I often play devil’s advocate to challenge myopic or singular viewpoint arguments or people stating opinion as fact. So with that in mind I am interested in people’s view on this (BTW I am making up the numbers to be illustrative but my hypothesis is that the number of people who are either anti-vax or vaccine hesitant is significantly larger than those who cannot actually have the vaccines, if anyone can provide actual numbers that would be great)... Once all the people in vulnerable groups that can be vaccinated have been vaccinated should we: A) Make it mandatory that c.500k people who cannot have vaccine continue to shield and take extra precautions so that the rest of the UK population and businesses can get back to normal. B) Make it mandatory that c.2m people (anti-vax and vaccine hesitant) have a vaccine they are not happy to have in their body due to concerns about longterm health impacts so that the 500k vulnerable don’t have to shield. Please explain your preference and why one is better/fairer or morally more acceptable than the other?" I disagree with both the hypothesis and the 2 solutions provided, I therefore kindly decline the offer to participate in this particular vacinne Royal rumble for the fabswingers WWE audience. | |||

Excuse me for butting in...I am of the same opinion that neither hypothesis is the way to go... please define "people who cannot actually have the vaccine" - who decides that? I remember a poster on a different thread who maintained being in the vulnerable category but had advice from 2 different consultants - one advising to get vaccinated, the other recommending against vaccination...which consultant is right? | |||

"Please do “butt in” this is a discussion. My understanding is there are groups of people, such as those who are immune deficient (possibly undergoing cancer treatment) who should not have these vaccines. Many of the pro-vaccine people on these forums are of the opinion that everyone else must be vaccinated to protect those who can’t citing moral duty or benefit to society. Anti-vaxxers take an opposing stance. Vaccine hesitant are confused and have a dilemma." Yes, I understand that there are different "categories" of people who would automatically be advised against vaccination or who may not produce the desired immune response (though I would maintain that this is for the traditional attenuated vaccine, which in the case of mRNA may not actually apply - though I am not aware of the science here). The question of definition above is also interesting because in any case, the doctor advising for or against vaccination - where does his/her opinion stem from? Obviously they are in the medical field but we can see the division - which "side" do they take their information on - can they really be unbiased with the amount of propaganda surrounding the entire situation? I am also very aware that there are many different opinions on vaccination, regardless of whether pro-vaccine, categorically anti-vaccine or vaccine hesitant for this particular vaccine. Some pro-vaxxers still believe in freedom of choice and bodily autonomy and others have more extreme views, be that through wanting mandates, imposing additional restrictions on the unvaccinated (who have no "medical excuse" to get vaccinated) or refusing medical treatment for those refusing the vaccine (this is where I would play devil's advocate and ask the vaccinated, will you return the same courtesy by not taking medical treatment in the event of a side effect, regardless of its severity?) I still maintain that neither of the options you gave in your hypothetical situation is morally right. Though in a human experiment, it would be interesting to see how such a scenario pans out...will the vulnerable who have restrictions imposed on them go protesting/fighting legal battles to have their "rights" reinstated? Will those who are mandated to be vaccinated do the same? And who will "win"? I suppose this kind of scenario may very well be coming our way. I understand that Italy wants to impose compulsory vaccination on their health care staff and there is uproar. In which case, I go back to my previous argument - God forbid the "experts" opposing vaccination are right and they are in fact not only possibly detrimental to health in the long-term but lethal?! | |||

"@Ecstatically_arousing totally agree both scenarios are horrendous to one group or the other. That is the point of a moral dilemma, hence my horrible children in a fire analogy further up. There is no right answer but for each of us as individuals there may possibly be one that is less wrong than the other?" Well, when I read through the virus Forum, I get the feeling that there are quite a number of people who do quite vehemently believe that one of those hypothetical situations is the right one over the other, namely mandate the vaccination for the antis and the hesitants because it's not the vulnerable people's fault they can't have it... It's not my fault that I am (presumably) healthy and not in the category of "cannot take it"...for argument's sake, would it be true or fair to say that not all "cannot have the vaccine" people are in that category without their own doing - in other words are vulnerable or too ill because of lifestyle choices, smoking, drinking, eating excessively and the wrong foods, not exercising, not keeping healthy sleeping patterns, rather than because of a vulnerability they are born with or acquired by "accident", without wanting to offend or point fingers. Where the children scenario is concerned...the funny thing is I have 2 children. I love both my children and believe that I would do anything to protect them from harm to the best of my ability. Some parents may identify with me when I say that I have an entirely different relationship with each of my children. This doesn't impact on my love for either of them. And both my children are very, very different - not as you describe above but to an outsider may be perceived as such. My son is very sociable, outgoing and naturally happy, very well liked by all, whereas my daughter is quite the opposite with a diagnosis of ASD, which can come with a less likeable manner. To a by-stander who cannot see that she has a condition, she would probably come across as quiet, possibly even show her extreme self where she might be perceived as rude, pedantic and obsessive. I would hope that most people could see that each relationship comes with its challenges. I was trying to visualise your scenario. Quite frankly, everyone will put their own surrounding circumstances on it. I could not "see" in my mind's eye which child I would "tend to" if I had to make a snap decision in such an emergency. I doubt any parent can say for sure which child they would choose, unless they have been in that situation and survived, some may even decide to try for both and all perish in the process. I think only the emergency itself would tell. Hence I think these scenarios are not necessarily comparable as a moral dilemma because they are snapshot decisions under extreme circumstances where adrenaline is pumping...there is a little bit more time available in the vaccination situation. | |||

"Seriously you will love the trolly problem. Youtube it. There is a trolley On The train tracks and 4 people tied to the tracks who are certain to die if hit. You are next to a lever that diverts the trolly onto another track . Problem is if you pull the lever The divert track has one person tied to it. Once you factor in the fat man on the bridge it becomes really fascinating." I was also trying to visualise this scenario. For me, circumstances are always important when trying to imagine something. Do you know the people or not, who are they to you in your decision making process? I can certainly understand that having to physically push a person to their death, actually touching them, would make a difference in the decision making process to when it is a lever which is pulled. I doubt it would make a difference to a psychopath, depending on his MO. | |||

"@Ecstatically_arousing totally agree both scenarios are horrendous to one group or the other. That is the point of a moral dilemma, hence my horrible children in a fire analogy further up. There is no right answer but for each of us as individuals there may possibly be one that is less wrong than the other? Well, when I read through the virus Forum, I get the feeling that there are quite a number of people who do quite vehemently believe that one of those hypothetical situations is the right one over the other, namely mandate the vaccination for the antis and the hesitants because it's not the vulnerable people's fault they can't have it... It's not my fault that I am (presumably) healthy and not in the category of "cannot take it"...for argument's sake, would it be true or fair to say that not all "cannot have the vaccine" people are in that category without their own doing - in other words are vulnerable or too ill because of lifestyle choices, smoking, drinking, eating excessively and the wrong foods, not exercising, not keeping healthy sleeping patterns, rather than because of a vulnerability they are born with or acquired by "accident", without wanting to offend or point fingers. Where the children scenario is concerned...the funny thing is I have 2 children. I love both my children and believe that I would do anything to protect them from harm to the best of my ability. Some parents may identify with me when I say that I have an entirely different relationship with each of my children. This doesn't impact on my love for either of them. And both my children are very, very different - not as you describe above but to an outsider may be perceived as such. My son is very sociable, outgoing and naturally happy, very well liked by all, whereas my daughter is quite the opposite with a diagnosis of ASD, which can come with a less likeable manner. To a by-stander who cannot see that she has a condition, she would probably come across as quiet, possibly even show her extreme self where she might be perceived as rude, pedantic and obsessive. I would hope that most people could see that each relationship comes with its challenges. I was trying to visualise your scenario. Quite frankly, everyone will put their own surrounding circumstances on it. I could not "see" in my mind's eye which child I would "tend to" if I had to make a snap decision in such an emergency. I doubt any parent can say for sure which child they would choose, unless they have been in that situation and survived, some may even decide to try for both and all perish in the process. I think only the emergency itself would tell. Hence I think these scenarios are not necessarily comparable as a moral dilemma because they are snapshot decisions under extreme circumstances where adrenaline is pumping...there is a little bit more time available in the vaccination situation. " Thank you for such a thought provoking response. I need to consider this for a bit before responding. | |||

"The legal indemnity granted by our government to the manufacturer of the vaccine was the main cause yes of my vaccine hesitation.

"What if the vaccinated all start becoming seriously ill and all hospitalised,surely then they should be quarantined?" There are some on these forums who advocated removing free healthcare or even any treatment by the NHS to people who refused to be vaccinated. If what you describe happens (I don’t think/hope it will) then I wonder if they will change their stance? | |||

"Open everything, if your not willing to have the vaccination and die that’s on you if your to scared to live life and hide away as if your already dead then you may as well be dead and let the rest of us that miss life go back to it" Would you say the same if you'd seen someone die from covid or if you had an extremely vulnerable relative? | |||

"Anyone not bored by my posts will know by now that I really loathe the tribalist nature of social media because life is not binary and arguments are not black & white but instead many shades of grey. I often play devil’s advocate to challenge myopic or singular viewpoint arguments or people stating opinion as fact. So with that in mind I am interested in people’s view on this (BTW I am making up the numbers to be illustrative but my hypothesis is that the number of people who are either anti-vax or vaccine hesitant is significantly larger than those who cannot actually have the vaccines, if anyone can provide actual numbers that would be great)... Once all the people in vulnerable groups that can be vaccinated have been vaccinated should we: A) Make it mandatory that c.500k people who cannot have vaccine continue to shield and take extra precautions so that the rest of the UK population and businesses can get back to normal. B) Make it mandatory that c.2m people (anti-vax and vaccine hesitant) have a vaccine they are not happy to have in their body due to concerns about longterm health impacts so that the 500k vulnerable don’t have to shield. Please explain your preference and why one is better/fairer or morally more acceptable than the other?" Deny vaccine refusers access to public services including child care and schools. Nhs treatment given but hopefully private businesses will deny access too | |||

Cal" His reputation is - scientific opinion differs, full stop. Is there any evidence of asymptomatic transmission? A study of 11 million Chinese patients failed to confirm a single case I understand? If under healthy under 50's are successfully treated by the early treatment protocols he recommends, they have no need of vaccination. You cannot compare well managed outcomes with those who are left to rot at home for 2 weeks with a packet of paracetamol, that is negligent. His whole premise that Covid 19 is a treatable disease is borne out by results the world over. | |||

In his opinion vaccinating pregnant women and children at all is madness too, the risk benefit equation is totally wrong. sorry am i misreading? are you claiming 10k dead in europe from vaccination?" I'm not sure whether the poster believes it, but seemingly that is what this emminent Cardiologist has stated. Clearly, that isn't the case, serious side effects are thankfully quite rare. | |||

None of his published papers tjat I can find are presenting evidence for his claims, the majority that I've looked at are theoretical analysis of "possible" treatments for people suffering from covid, or heart related observations of covid patients. The good thing about published papers, is they are all in the public domain for us all to read. | |||

Vaccine rollouts are usually halted if there are 50 or so deaths reported associated. Covid jabs are now into the thousands and thousands. The risk is too high for low risk groups 'First, do no harm'." I would rather take note of the opinion of a virologist in respect of a virus than a cardiologist. I wouldn't see a gynaecologist for brain surgery but both are equally well trained in their field. I have been unable ti source any virologists who agree with his stance, but many who don't. Examples below: Olivier Schwartz, head of the Virus and Immunity Unit at the Pasteur Institute, told AFP by phone: “It is obvious that people under 50 who are in good health should be vaccinated” because they can still be affected by the disease. Bruno Lina, professor of virology at the University of Lyon, said that the aim of a mass vaccination campaign is to reduce the transmission of a virus. The Pasture Institute also disagree and the Chinese University that he quoted hVe gine on record ssying that he misrepresented their data. | |||

"You're far less likely to die, have serious illness, less likely to have any symptoms at all and the latest data is showing that it slows transmission too, so yes, it minimises the risks. However, the more people that are unvaccinated, the more chance it has to spread which in turn increases the chance of it mutating into a strain that can dodge the vaccines, this puts vaccinated individuals at risk again. The more people that have the vaccine, the more likely we are to get on top of the virus and get some semblance of normality back. My stance won't change, those not having the vaccine for anything other than medical issues that prevent them having it, are selfish and should face restrictions so that those of us that give a shit about others can enjoy life. | |||

"Anyone not bored by my posts will know by now that I really loathe the tribalist nature of social media because life is not binary and arguments are not black & white but instead many shades of grey. I often play devil’s advocate to challenge myopic or singular viewpoint arguments or people stating opinion as fact. So with that in mind I am interested in people’s view on this (BTW I am making up the numbers to be illustrative but my hypothesis is that the number of people who are either anti-vax or vaccine hesitant is significantly larger than those who cannot actually have the vaccines, if anyone can provide actual numbers that would be great)... Once all the people in vulnerable groups that can be vaccinated have been vaccinated should we: A) Make it mandatory that c.500k people who cannot have vaccine continue to shield and take extra precautions so that the rest of the UK population and businesses can get back to normal. B) Make it mandatory that c.2m people (anti-vax and vaccine hesitant) have a vaccine they are not happy to have in their body due to concerns about longterm health impacts so that the 500k vulnerable don’t have to shield. Please explain your preference and why one is better/fairer or morally more acceptable than the other?" How do you plan to deal with the issues raised by Chris Witty when he was asked many months ago why we don’t shield the vulnerable and go on as usual?? | |||

"Seeing as there have been no responses to the analogy of today's "climate" to the Holocaust, I'll take it one step further. As established above, the Jews were villified under wrong pretences, with society becoming more and more accepting over time that Jews were dirty, disease ridden vermin who were best off being excluded from society. Now, I'm not sure if you're aware that the CDC has recently changed its reporting strategy of cases. As of May 1 and I quote from their website "Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating only those among patients who are hospitalized or die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health significance." Previous to that ALL cases, regardless of severity were reported, as seen on their website. Now only the really severe ones get reported, which doesn't give the full picture, bearing in mind the spread of Covid, certainly for those who are convinced that all cases are potential spreaders, regardless of symptom status... Given the function of the CDC, I find that way of reporting highly questionable - PARTICULARLY when I hear the extreme and totalitarian views within the general population that unvaccinated should face restrictions etc... and PARTICULARLY with the analogy of the Holocaust as described above and PARTICULARLY with the scientific evidence STILL showing that the vaccinated ALSO TRANSMIT the virus!!! So the idea that the unvaccinated are disease ridden vermin who should be excluded from society is underlined by the way the CDC is reporting Covid breakthrough cases in the vaccinated as a whole. This, by an official institution... bearing in mind the role the Red Cross played in the Holocaust. There are still Holocaust survivors out there. I have heard one interview and this lady was reporting feeling the similarities and feeling the past rise within her as someone who does not want the vaccine. I quote a previous poster: "False equivalency. Jewish people in germany did no harm. Unvaccinated people do immense harm. Unless medically exempt they should not be accepted by society and their children shouldnt be allowed to put others at risk." At this point, both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated transmit the virus. I know instinctively whom I don't want my children to associate with but I certainly hope that my children grow up being more tolerant, compassionate and accepting of people where medical choices are concerned without the need to discriminate and shun! | |||

When does the majority of the population turn against the few? Oddly familiar. What do you mean by escalate? Unvaccinated folk should be turned away by airlines and shops and denied entry to private businesses unless they have a medical exemption. What do you imagine escalation to be? They'll cave and get the vaccine before then. If not, there will be too few of them for it to be problematic This is a horrible thing to want Why? It’s not right to penalise people because of their choices, even people who drink and smoke etc deserve treatment. This vaccine is driving a wedge between groups of people and it’s horrible. I would not want to see anyone who had side effects from the vaccine denied treatment either " Yes, that is the irony of their position., | |||

"*sigh* so instead if actually debating the moral dilemma we instead resort to the very thing I was exposing - tribalist, binary arguments. At least some people tried, thanks. The argument/conversation is binary. The problem is that most people are not qualified to understand any of this properly and many people don't fully understand their level of ignorance and so think their google search is good enough. So put something like the Star of David on antivaxxers. Just because they choose not to be vaccinated. It's their choice. What's next concentration camps because they refuse ? you oddly make this random argument all the time , when nobody else in the thread has even mentioned let alone suggested marking anyone not to mention how insulting it is to attribute public health to holocaust Deny vaccine refusers access to public services including child care and schools. Nhs treatment given but hopefully private businesses will deny access too A quote False equivalency. Jewish people in germany did no harm. Unvaccinated people do immense harm. Unless medically exempt they should not be accepted by society and their children shouldnt be allowed to put others at risk. Check out Naomi Baumslag. Murderous medicine: Nazi doctors, human experimentation, and Typhus describing how epidemic typhus served in the extermination of Jews. Jews were labeled disease carriers and a public health risk to justify the creation of ghettos. But ghettoization fueled rather than contained the epidemic, and this, in turn, reinforced the “prevention” strategy, i.e. disinfection/gas chambers. Baumslag, a pediatrician at Georgetown University School of Medicine with a master of public health degree, chose to focus on typhus because the disease was rampant and the epidemic was used as a weapon of mass destruction with the “silent complicity” of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). This is about using medicine and public health for killing. I can see where some can see a connection. Ultimately, “there is no medical science without a moral basis.” I would think there are plenty who will not be coerced into taking the vaccine, either by exclusion from society or by mandating the vaccine. To what extent will they then be contained? Imprisonment? In other words, prison for the unvaccinated... given that the vaccinated can still contact and spread the virus too...
Seeing as there have been no responses to the analogy of today's "climate" to the Holocaust, I'll take it one step further.
As established above, the Jews were villified under wrong pretences, with society becoming more and more accepting over time that Jews were dirty, disease ridden vermin who were best off being excluded from society.
Now, I'm not sure if you're aware that the CDC has recently changed its reporting strategy of cases. As of May 1 and I quote from their website "Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating only those among patients who are hospitalized or die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health significance."
Previous to that ALL cases, regardless of severity were reported, as seen on their website. Now only the really severe ones get reported, which doesn't give the full picture, bearing in mind the spread of Covid, certainly for those who are convinced that all cases are potential spreaders, regardless of symptom status...
Given the function of the CDC, I find that way of reporting highly questionable - PARTICULARLY when I hear the extreme and totalitarian views within the general population that unvaccinated should face restrictions etc... and PARTICULARLY with the analogy of the Holocaust as described above and PARTICULARLY with the scientific evidence STILL showing that the vaccinated ALSO TRANSMIT the virus!!!
So the idea that the unvaccinated are disease ridden vermin who should be excluded from society is underlined by the way the CDC is reporting Covid breakthrough cases in the vaccinated as a whole. This, by an official institution... bearing in mind the role the Red Cross played in the Holocaust.
There are still Holocaust survivors out there. I have heard one interview and this lady was reporting feeling the similarities and feeling the past rise within her as someone who does not want the vaccine.
I quote a previous poster:
"False equivalency. Jewish people in germany did no harm. Unvaccinated people do immense harm. Unless medically exempt they should not be accepted by society and their children shouldnt be allowed to put others at risk."
At this point, both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated transmit the virus.
I know instinctively whom I don't want my children to associate with but I certainly hope that my children grow up being more tolerant, compassionate and accepting of people where medical choices are concerned without the need to discriminate and shun!
"It seems there are Nazis living amongst us, who knew. | |||

"Yup, and it was after 10 000 cases in fully vaccinated people they stopped counting, didn't fit the narrative. | |||

" This is clearly correct. It could be argued that only those with hereditary conditions, and those who developed a condition through no actions of their own are legitimately in the group of cannot have the vaccine. The rest brought it on themselves. " what are these medical conditions that our own life choices brought on us that mean we cant be vaccinated? its not like we are avoiding vaccination because people are obese , its things like allergies or people who don’t create an antibodies | |||
