Just seen this on a profile, and it's a first for me. Anyone else spotted this on a profile? There was also something about shedding harmful spike proteins.

Not concerned about shedding a potentially fatal virus though? That's worthy of a very slow handclap.

Yes this is what I think I've had both jabs! But it's up to each individual no one should b shamed either way! And if anyone asked me if I've had the jab as a requirement to meet then I would decline wouldn't want to meet people like that x

Not on here, but I've seen it a few times on Tinder.

It's good when people wave their red flags high above their heads for visibility.

As the vast majority of UK population are getting the jabs, it is going to limit very much the availability of unvaccinated people for such individuals to meet.

Personally it is something I might ask out of curiosity but wouldn't be a deal breaker either way. I don't feel the need to state on my profile that I have had both jabs though. X

I find this incredible. I can understand people not wanting to meet the great unvaccinated. But not wanting to meet the vaccinated? Come on. Ive had both jabs and can't understand anyone not wanting to be done unless they've got a genuine medical condition which prevents it.

Its apparently because we the vaccinated are more dangerous than the virus with all the nasty imaginary spike protine that we shed and cause infertility just by being near people

Yes, it's a common argument for those against various vaccinations that it's the vaccinated who shed disease (or here, spike protein), not the unvaccinated. Not that it makes any sense.

it really does, it amazes me that people are so easily duoped into believing crack pots on the internet that claim to have all the answers, there have been studies into why people believe some of this stuff and it's apparently to do with it being easier to swallow that the fact that there is a massive world changing pandemic going on that is completely out of their control where as the vaccine is something they have some amount of control over by refusing it and demonizing that and the shadowy figures that are apparently manipulating the population

Germ theory is the idea that pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi) cause disease. Not desperately controversial or new.

But according to some it's never been proven that viruses cause disease. Some hold, per terrain theory (which made some sense in the 19th century...) that bad health causes disease, and pathogen particles found in bodies of sick people are the byproducts of disease.

Thank you for explaining. Maybe it's the forever dilemma about what was first, the egg or the chicken? As the bad health had to come from somewhere?

Pathogens existed well before humans, traces of viruses even exist in our DNA. They're another form of parasite, in essence

Bryan Caplan discussed "Rational Irrationality" in a paper published 2000/2001.

Admittedly it was a theory that explains how unfavourable policies can be selected by voters in a democracy. (The theory has been broadened to cover other areas apart from politics, eg Religion.)

To summarise Wikipedia, Caplan theorises that there are 2 types of rationality.

1. Epistemic Rationality. A person forms "beliefs" within a truth framework underpinning their beliefs. They try keep their minds open for new evidence, and try to avoid fallacious reasoning.

2. Instrumental Rationality. This means the person chooses the most effective means to attain their actual goals, with their beliefs in mind.

Here's the kicker.

Rational Irrationality means the person uses Instrumental Rationality (2) to achieve a position of Epistemic IRRATIONALITY (the opposite of 1, essentially).

What does this mean ?

It means that a person who seeks to only meet unvaccinated people (they have stated this as the most effective means to attain their goal, so it's Instrumental Rationality), has underpinned this with Epistemic Irrationality (Not used a framework of truth/science) to underpin their beliefs.

This is actually a thing.

It does not mean the individual deliberately chooses something they believe to be false.

It means that the cost of having such a belief is so unimportant to them that they relax their reasoning, and thus are more swayed by cognitive bias, erroneous thinking or emotional appeals.

They feel that the intellectual effort required to understand the nuances and contradictions to their beliefs is not worth it.

There's a whole lot more on how rational irrationality can exist and what conditions foster it beyond the scope of this post, but they are fascinating and well worth a read to try and understand how some people can irrationally rationalise themselves in to holding certain beliefs.

I tend to think of such folks not as stupid or moronic, but simply not as investing the same rigour as others in arriving at their conclusions.

For some, it's wilful ignorance. For others deliberate malevolence. For some, they just don't realise. For others, they just don't care. All are irrational however.

There is a saying that everyone is entitled to their beliefs but this is a truism. (A statement which asserts incomplete truth conditions for a proposition).

But as Bill Bullard (Republican member of both houses of the Michigan Legislature and local official in Oakland County) said, "Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding."

Let's get Philosophy, Critical Thinking, Ethics, Politics and Discourse more embedded in the national curriculum for the formative years. It will serve future citizens with skills which will help them hone their epistemic rationality, and leave them less likely to be prone to instrumental irrationality.

I've been making this assumption through the pandemic. Want to know who'd bareback a stranger? Look at who isn't wearing a mask. Anyone who's willing to spread COVID around would do the same with an STI.

Not because they have STI's or want to spread them

Very judgemental!

Can't believe some humans actually think this way

Genuinely don't think there's any need for this thread which seems to have turned to bashing people regarding personal choice of their own body

If people think someone has a red flag over their head because of simple choices made for their own reasons ... Then imo I think they are the ones with the red flags

But how the actual fuck is someone going to verify you have (or haven't) been vaccinated? As long as you keep your proteins from shedding, they'll be none the wiser...

We couldn't care less whether someone has or has not had their jabs. Same with people not wearing masks etc.

We will look after us and ours and everyone else can do the same. We're not gonna judge anyone for their personal choices.

However, if anyone asked for proof of anything even before a social we probably wouldn't meet them.

Ah, but it goes both ways, we are abused for having the vaccines, called sheep, called stupid, sent vile messages, threatened, abused etc.

There's alot of stuff that gets sent via messages, mainly by people that know it would be a straight ban if they said it in the forums.

The issue with you saying its YOUR body is that the choice isn't only affecting YOU, that's mainly why I have an issue with it, that, and the (mostly) conspiracy theory driven reasons for not having the vaccines.

I haven't seen ANY hatred directed towards people that decide to be vaxxed personally

Yet unbelievable amounts (like can't even escape it on FabSwingers amount) of hatred, name calling, distrust and down right nastiness to the other side.

Regardless of whether you have this 'vaccine' or not you can still carry and pass on the 'virus' soooo in theory no matter what you do it still affects others ????

I genuinely cannot understand why unvaxed people being slated so vile and openly?

have had the same sort of crap sent to me aswell Polly, It's disgusting really then there are all the sheep comments when anyone agrees with being vaccinated or wearing masks and all the crap about how we are idiots to think that masks work, only need look on the masks post to see it or pretty much most of the threads in the virus forum really

"Just seen this on a profile, and it's a first for me. Anyone else spotted this on a profile? There was also something about shedding harmful spike proteins.

Agree with everything about 'easy filter'.

But how the actual fuck is someone going to verify you have (or haven't) been vaccinated? As long as you keep your proteins from shedding, they'll be none the wiser...

Really easy to prove I have had my vaccinations, the main NHS app has a section that shows vaccine status I would assume just as easy to show if you haven't by showing the same section of the app

I for one shall not be requiring to look at anyone's nhs app, or asking for any other type of documentary evidence. Mainly because I have no immediate intention of dropping my panties for just any random person. Postings on this forum over the last 18 months will give me a good guideline towards peoples attitude towards covid for a start. However my expectation is that I am only likely to get to the personal contact stage with people that I have come to know in some depth, where there is mutual trust and honesty. If course, maybe this just means that I'll never have sex with anyone ever again, if so then I guess that's my own fault for hoping to find people that are trustworthy.

Maybe you're blinkered because there's LOADS of it.

There are many situations in which people are penalised for choices they make, especially if they are putting other people at risk.

The vaccine reduces transmission, pretty self explanatory.

Why do you think the deaths and hospitalisations are so low when cases are rising dramatically? That's what the vaccine is doing, it's helping stop severe illness and death. Most people see that as a good thing.

How about, you make your own decisions and let others make theirs... And if you decide to do something because others advise you to do so, either way... I am sure that's still your decision, not theirs, peer pressure is a cop out?!? If you are vaccinated and you don't want to meet people that aren't... Don't... And vice versa...

I do understand people being sceptical but what I don't understand is people then going on an anti-vax narrative that's what I struggle with.

All so I saw a report in the news the other day that said the amount of people who have said they would not take the vaccine for covid actually have taken it.

I think the difficulty is that the narrative by the government and scientists is that those that are vaccinated or risk from those that aren't and so that's where the division comes whether it's true or not.

To be fair, when penicillin was first used it was a big unknown, and very little was understood about the mechanism of its action. It was the first of its kind, there was no idea about what dosages might be effective, how long the course of treatment would need to be, whether it might have side effects... The very first patient treated with penicillin improved for a short while, then died. However the patient was only chosen because they were certainly going to die of a bacterial infection anyway, and I believe (recollecting from a documentary movie some years ago) that they were too far gone to be saved with the relatively miniscule amount of penicillin that was available.

My father was one of the test subjects for streptomycin when that was first discovered. He was in hospital with advanced tuberculosis, and was basically told that there was a new treatment, it might kill him stone dead, but if he didn't try it he only had a couple of days left anyway... Fortunately there were no antibiotic conspiracy theorists around to tell him that it was a plot to depopulate the planet, otherwise he would never have recovered and I would not have been conceived...

The issue with Penicillin Patient Zero (police officer with a rose thorn to the finger, leading to a nasty infection), was that naturally synthesised penicillin actually is predominantly unmetabolised and is excreted renally. They realised this and started recovering it from his urine and repurifying. Basically they kept giving him the same penicillin over and over until it was all eventually metabolised and it ran out. The infection took hold again and he died. The policeman's name was Albert Alexander.

Every year millions through out the planet die of flu but no one blinks an eye and get on with their lives .

Goverments including Scots gov scared everyone at beginning and sadly ruined awfully lot of people’s lives .

Not meeting people only damaged yourself and like flu vacs it lessen the fact you have the flu and with covid jab means awfully lot of people who had are spreading it without realising it same works with the flu .

So wise up stop being scared and get on with your life and stop being like a sheep .Goverment officials are servants to the people not the other way round Plus major share holders in vaccine,medical etc it’s so laughable but true and sad

Probably like me not anti vaccine however takes at least 5 years to prove the data and Covid is another strain of tube flu like other strains that come out to !Do you remember bird flu,Swine flu reported on tv and nobody blinked an eye while millions died throughout the planet and everybody just got on with it went to work ,pubs clubs etc .

Flu vaccine like the Covid means you still get and spread and stop you being really ill so I would say to anyone if underlying conditions ie respiratory as flu loves or feel unsafe than follow your heart it’s a private matter however with media like Facebook coming out with badge of honour cause you took the jab it’s pathetic it’s like you want to be in my gang!Goverments is making fortunes amongst medical and drug companies treating people like experiments cause purely that’s what is all about so respect your friends and don’t dictate to them .I have witnessed people dying from it and say what I said the year before it’s a deadly flu .

Oh dear That is literally not how drug trials work. The animals were put down after the trials in the same way that all animals in drug trials are. They didn’t die from the vaccine (which then went into human trials) as you say, stop getting your info from Facebook “it’s pathetic”

I disagree. This is very different.

We're hopefully working our way out of a global pandemic, that's affected 160+ countries and 7.8 billion people.

We don't need crackpot loons running around with their frankly ridiculous, baseless and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories undoing the good work that's been done by so many.

A quick read through this thread alone shows the fecund stupidity behind so many of these "facts".

The deliberately pejorative miss-interpretation of detail is astounding.

The deniers, the liars, those whose "FACTS" place the gullible and ill-informed in harms way.

I'm astounded on a daily basis by some people's lack of education, basic knowledge and common sense.

A quick read through this thread alone shows the fecund stupidity behind so many of these "facts".

I'm astounded on a daily basis by some people's lack of education, basic knowledge and common sense.

Im astounded by some people who are supposed to be educated to not look objectively at all sides .....Two time Nobel peace prize winner a crackpot loon? Really ?? ....but some spunktrumpet from eton who can’t even adhere to his own rules and keep it in his pants isn’t? Or the one that did the dodgy model in the first place who also couldn’t ? Or the one in the states who’s very email’s point out gain of function and the use of masks as just theatre to push the narrative ?? One point that most who refuse to look at both sides in this is that pandemics do not need fear propaganda , they need calming messaging and a reduction of fear ...because you see it all around and would be scared as fuck no more no less ...but yet no one asks why ramp it up ? Why ? What purpose does the messaging and the words they use create ? One purpose fear and panic , which creates control ....and then solution .....

I have looked at both sides. On one side we have the scientific consensus.

Are you suggesting the solutions to a global pandemic are all about control?

Yes, I've looked at both sides of the "argument". I've done it with objectivity and an open mind.

I'm aware that confirmation bias exists. I've been mindful not to have fallen into that trap.

Clearly many haven't.

I've read all I can, from reliable, attributable, recognised sources.

Clearly many haven't.

Where a source has been discredited I've looked at why and by who.

Many clearly haven't.

I'll look at the science, not necessarily the scientist.

I don't care if a government official tells us not to stick our heads in gas ovens, and pictures emerge of him with his head deep inside.

Because he/they/them break the rules doesn't give me carte blanche permission to do the same. It just makes him a hypocrite.

Too much critisism, not enough critical thinking. Although I'm aware many don't have the mental faculty for it.

Ive looked at both sides ,?I've also looked at the stats numerous times for who it effects ie deaths etc ....hell we even seen whitty , vallance etc on the telly tell us the average age of death ....we know it all , yet science is never settled so what makes there points the the consensus ? After all this time there is still yet to be a true debate on any of the measures , vaccines , treatments ....why ? Who gains ? Certainly not science and you say the likes of sage are qualified in this realm then yes ? So why have they got no virologist on board but a clinical psychologist they do ? For a viral infection ?? Would you say she is qualified ? But someone like Carl Heneghan , a clinical epidemiologist and head of university of oxford centre for evidence based

As a result of my previous post, I've just had a message from "Liverpool Lover", telling me he's glad there's a small pool of potential meets, as he won't ever meet a vaccinated person.

And he blocked me too.

Not that I was ever going to meet him. These anti- vaxers are odd...

I haven't looked at the BBC since April last year. I do, in fact, do my own research. I don't give a shit who gets put on the television or not. I care about evidence, about credibility. I scrutinise all my sources.

The fact that I've come to a different conclusion to you doesn't mean I've dismissed the "other side" out of hand.

Why for instance is neil ferguson still involved when his model that stated sweden would explode if it didn’t follow it hasn’t ? Why does vallance have shares in pharma ? Neutral ? Like you said you look at both sides so you have done this home work yes ??? Agreed in that list there will be people who should be listened too , and also there will be people with there own agenda and fingers in the till ....its has to be both ways , and im afraid after all this time and effort on there part most people who turned off there telly and radio in march last year or soon after , went outside and looked with there very own eyes realised something isn’t adding up , deep down even someone like yourself knows that ....but hey you do you we will do us ...

And I agree but then that means that the reason that folks won’t meet unvaccinated people is not to protect themselves regarding the unvaccinated potentially being able to pass on the virus more easily but that you just don’t like that they haven’t made the same choice as you with regards to their own body autonomy. (You as in a collective not you personally). I think that’s what I’m trying to get at.

We all make choices for whatever reason. Those reasons are generally regarded as being beyond criticism, on here. I'm not sure why this is different.

On a societal level, vaccination protects not only the individual, but also those who can't be vaccinated, and those for whom the vaccination was less effective. I see herd immunity as standing to create a human shield around people who need it.

It does make me chuckle when an individual with no credibility is hailed an expert, but when he's shown to have zero credibility or authority, it's because there's a conspiracy against him.

" Do the non vaxxers get jabs for all the other ailments that can seriously damage your health or is it just covid ones they avoid ?

Surely that depends if they are actually anti vaxxers or just wary of this one, no?

If the internet was around when penicillin was first used it would have had anti vaxxers saying the same sort of stuff about it.

So many people now have no awareness of how their lives have been changed by the inventions of vaccines and antibiotics. As you mention, the first penicillin patient was being treated because of an infection caused by pricking his finger in the garden! This was not an unusual case, without antibiotics to quickly clear infections, almost any minor injury could very easily be a death sentence.

Vaccines and antibiotics make it the case that in this country childhood deaths are now relatively infrequent events. Without these drugs we would see a rapid return to the mortality rates of early last century, where losing a child was very much just a thing that happened, and a small cut on the hand might easily lead to the need for amputation and then death anyway.

We all make choices for whatever reason. Those reasons are generally regarded as being beyond criticism, on here. I'm not sure why this is different.

And I agree. I don’t care what choices others make and nor should they have to explain themselves but....

Exactly the same!

Seen it on a dating app.

Not interested in anyone vaccinated as you're clearly not man enough.

for me it's more that the whole anti Vax mindset doesn't sit well with me so would see that as an incompatibility with my own mindset, then there are those that are not anti any other vaccine but are just refusing to have this one because "the man" doesn't control them and they dont need it because they are fit and healthy, I care for a family member on the extremely vulnerable list and choose to have the vaccine firstly to protect her not myself, and it just doesn't sit well with me from a values point of view that they have no consideration for others when making the choice not to have the vaccine, its a somewhat selfish mindset in my opinion as sadly to an extent the current world wide health crisis isn't just about them its about everyone including those at high risk and those like yourself that can be vaccinated for medical reasons, if as many people as possible are vaccinated it not only protects those vaccinated but also those that can't be by reducing the chance of them being exposed to the virus.

My issue is with those people who have little to no understanding of the tripe they are shouting about, they do not share my values of how I believe being a member of society means protecting those that are vulnerable, contributing to the safety of society as a whole, instead of just looking at my own safety.

That's why I'm so against people that CHOOSE not to have the vaccine because of silly conspiracy theories and nonsense they've read from some complete nutcase online.

Not one of you who has had this injection has any clue to what future effects maybe. For the record for those calling it a vaccine its not. Vaccines offer immunity this doesnt. What makese laugh is how some of these people whom have had it suddenly feel motally superior. #natutalselection

They aren’t compatible at all.

My best friend for example is the most anti covid vaccine person I know. She and her children are all fully vaccinated and she is at the clinic being tested for std’s after every new partner. Of course this is just one anecdotal example but I don’t believe the two can be compared.

I respectfully disagree with you and I simply consider the personal risk to me greater when not vaccinated. This is based on a number of considerations which I won't go into publicly.

That said, there is a growing number of people, not just in the UK but certainly in other European countries such as France and Germany who are refusing the vaccine on similar grounds.

Calling these doubters names, referring to them as idiots is disrespectful and unhelpful in the overall debate.

For me, the journey has been one of initially not wanting the vaccine, then deciding for it based on considerations referred to above, to now having a few doubts ... so everybody is entitled to an opinion and hopefully this will eventually lead to better understanding.

I can understand that completely - if you hear arguments for and against, at some point and to some degree many of us would have done just that.

Let's rephrase that : Nobody can change YOUR mind perhaps - other people are different. I tend to listen to others before I make up my mind and sometimes that can look like I am being talked into it.

Also, if a decision favours my family, I would be "talked into " that without considering myself necessarily.

Not everybody is the same, people arrive at decisions in different ways and why should anybody judge them for it?

I think there are many people out there who don't understand what vaccines do, how they work or their benefits, let alone that we've been successfully vaccinating people for hundreds of years.

I also think they dont know enough about the C19 vaccine or how, why or what it protects us from.

I imagine they didn't want to lose you to Covid either, and irrespective of how healthy you might feel or appear, the fact is that people over 50 are at increased risk of dying from Covid. I know of outwardly fit and healthy people who succumbed to Covid - you'd never have thought them to be vulnerable prior to them getting the infection. One was a regular 10k runner and did the odd marathon, for example.

Yeah but that's true Covid or not Covid, vaccine or no vaccine. The insinuation is that the vaccine is going to fuck us up.

I always find that I get alot of ingrown hairs with an epilator.

I do have one of those IPL lasers, it works but you really have to keep on top of it.
