Antivaxers storm the old BBC

As you'll have seen on the news, the antivax movement tried to storm the BBC yesterday. At the headquarters that they moved out of many years ago . Loose Women was being filmed there by ITV.

I found it slightly amusing that they were so out of touch and out of date. It perhaps typifies them as a group.

Obviously these are the core antivax lot, rather than those who have been understandably hesitant. Sadly the antivax movement is very powerful, having bombarded us with millions of social media, blog and site posts over the pandemic. It does reflect their silos that are divorced from the majority of the population. I don't know whether they wanted to join the lesbians who stormed BBC news but they would have been too late

So... If they intimidate the media into spreading what they believe is the truth, the virus will go away?

... I wish I was capable of such magical thinking.

It's replicating what they are critical of them for - being a biased outlet, peddling lies

I do find this small group of people (not just there on the day at the TV Centre, but across the Interwebs), quite worrying.

It's not just anti-vax, but a whole portfolio of (mostly) right wing tropes they seem to have taken on.

Following people like Marianna Spring on Twitter as she investigates these areas, you start to see a pattern of what could become (at the extreme edges) domestic terrorism.

They are so enthralled by these theories, and so angry.

You can not blame them. They were organising this gathering since July 27. There was no much time for them to find out where the right BBC offices were. The irony is they all acted as sheep

Agreed. 5G, QAnon/Trumpism, NWO, anti vaxxers*, etc. They all fit together... I'd say nicely but in truth it's all rather horrifying.

(* The type who are so against vaccines that they'd resort to violence, not anyone who hasn't been vaccinated)

They’ve done their own research, the corrupt MSM might want you to think the BBC moved out of Shepherd’s Bush years ago but in a video on YouTube Mike Yeadon says different, and he invented the TARDIS.

..

I missed that in the news, but it really is comedy gold.

Maybe they should watch some mainstream news to find out where to go to protest.

I though they were protesting against vaccine passports rather than the vaccine itself?

With such a small minority of the population being actual ‘antivaxers’ by the true definition I find it highly unlikely all of these people were against the vaccine in its entirety.

I think anyone who tries to storm a media building to try to stop a law is a dangerous extremist, no matter what flavour of dangerous extremist they are.

They can't be that dangerous if they cant find the right place to protest.

Firstly I think it depends what the law is. If it’s changing a law that also protects women from forced abortions (which is likely to be the one theyd need to change to introduce forced vaccination) then I’d be protesting it too. P.S. not saying that’s what it’s about I’m just giving an example as to why not everyone protesting against a law change should be considered an extremist.

Secondly that wasn’t what I said in the first place. I said I found it unlikely they were ‘antivaxers’

Sounds a bit antivaxxy to me.

To be fair, I'm sure there were idiots of others stripes in the protest, too. There seemed to be a lot of confused anger going on there.

There's overlaps in all topics, were Pro vaccination and both vaccinated and against vaccine passports.

There are hard truths to society and unfortunately if this virus had a 20% death rate we'd see the infected machine gunned one the street and funeral pyres and a large minority of society would cheer it on in the name of safety, humanity doesn't work when the shit hits the fan, self preservation becomes the key instinct.

Ok so then so far we have two individuals that sounds like antivaxers. I still find it unlikely that everyone there has never had a single vaccine in their lives…..

I didn't say protest. I said storm a media building to change a law.

Media are not creators of law.

These people are resorting to violence.

Abortion is a red herring but you do you.

I've been to plenty of protests, pretty sure I have a file with the Australian spy agency (very boring). I march and shout slogans.

But it's interesting that you conflate all protest while also trying to make sure that these people aren't conflated with anti vaxxers.

These people are dangerous extremists. I make no comments on their affiliation.

There is a huge difference between protesting, and violently trying to storm a private building.

So do I. So what?

Antivaxxers who spout utter nonsense about the Covid vaccine have often had other vaccines in their lives. You think these people would be consistent on anything?

I haven’t conflated all protests at all.

You took one line of what I said, interpreted completely differently to how I intended it (and how it actually reads) and then contradict me using your own interpretation of what I said. Despite me pointing out what I actually said which was:

I find it highly unlikely everyone there was an antivaxer.

You then called them all extremists. Again are you sure they were ALL storming the building? All of them?

Every single attendee?

Bit of a dangerous generalisation but again each to their own.

Indeed there is. There’s also a huge difference between those storming the building and those protesting.

Actually that’s the point. An antivaxer has not had a single other vaccine in their lives. That’s the definition of an antivaxer?!

Once again a complete misinterpretation of what I said. When did I say I was defending people storming a building? I didn’t.

You obviously have a problem with the things I say so jump straight into my comments and twist them in order to revalidate your own point.

You’ve read what? A few comments I’ve made in the most emotive subject of today and think you know my point of view? You don’t have the foggiest.

So someone who was vaccinated as a child whether they wanted to be or not is not an anti vaxxer, even if they feed their unvaccinated children bleach to detox them from their epigenetic vaccine damage? (Bleach - look up MMS. Epigenetic damage -a post Wakefield claim on how vaccines cause autism).

It's no difference to me. Dangerous extremists are attacking one of the cornerstones of Western democracy. Maybe attempting to - what's the word - terrorise people.

Just to give you some insight:

I fully support a free press

I fully (and will protest if necessary) support free speech

I fully support the vaccination programme

I fully support the right to choose

I don’t support hypocrisy

I don’t support generalisation of a huge proportion of society

I don’t support shaming people for being scared

Ok so then so far we have two individuals that sounds like antivaxers. I still find it unlikely that everyone there has never had a single vaccine in their lives…..

So do I. So what?

Antivaxxers who spout utter nonsense about the Covid vaccine have often had other vaccines in their lives. You think these people would be consistent on anything?

Actually that’s the point. An antivaxer has not had a single other vaccine in their lives. That’s the definition of an antivaxer?!

You’re mixing people up. "

No it isn't. An antivaxxer is just, at its most fundamental level, somebody who is opposed to vaccination. Look up the definition if you don't believe me.

"I though they were protesting against vaccine passports rather than the vaccine itself?

With such a small minority of the population being actual ‘antivaxers’ by the true definition I find it highly unlikely all of these people were against the vaccine in its entirety.

I think anyone who tries to storm a media building to try to stop a law is a dangerous extremist, no matter what flavour of dangerous extremist they are.

Firstly I think it depends what the law is. If it’s changing a law that also protects women from forced abortions (which is likely to be the one theyd need to change to introduce forced vaccination) then I’d be protesting it too. P.S. not saying that’s what it’s about I’m just giving an example as to why not everyone protesting against a law change should be considered an extremist.

So someone who was vaccinated as a child whether they wanted to be or not is not an anti vaxxer, even if they feed their unvaccinated children bleach to detox them from their epigenetic vaccine damage? (Bleach - look up MMS. Epigenetic damage -a post Wakefield claim on how vaccines cause autism).

It's no difference to me. Dangerous extremists are attacking one of the cornerstones of Western democracy. Maybe attempting to - what's the word - terrorise people."

Nope misinterpreted yet again.

I did not at any point state that someone who had a vaccine as a child despite not wanting I wasn’t an antivaxer. Jesus this is hard. Stop reading so many articles and just try actually reading what you’re responding to!

Why does everything bed to be polarised.

Can we not defend a free press and crackpots who break into buildings to protest crackpot ideas?.

Dangerous extremists?.

There hardly Isis, the old fashioned locked up for the weekend and a big fine has always dissuaded most, shall we try that or jump straight to lynchings and inquisitions.

The far left have lost their minds with this virus and the far right never had one to begin with.

It's time for the sensible people in the middle to say you lot, shut the fuck up, your embarrassing yourself.

Not sure how many of those so fundamentally opposed would have ever had a vaccine so almost the same thing. But I stand slightly corrected.

Oh, the reasonable middle. Self proclaimed, of course

Please explain to me why storming a media building is not dangerous or extreme. How it differs from other attempts to undermine the pillars of our society.

I didn't say Isis. They are a lot like Y'all Qaeda and that mess on January 6 though. In fact, I bet they share a lot of disinformation material.

I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

You're assuming they were always antivaxxers. I'm betting many came to those views later in life after reading huge amounts of nonsense and lies on social media. People like that would absolutely have been vaccinated before. Many times.

Many antivaxxers now seem to be specifically shouting about the Covid vaccine as opposed to other vaccines too. So, on those grounds too, they'd likely have had other vaccines in their lives.

That is one very good point.

But I still find it very hard to believe that everyone there was of that exact viewpoint.

Some people are actually just concerned about the precedent that vaccine passports may be setting.

I did say somewhere above there were likely other idiots in the protest too.

Ok you’ve totally lost me if you think people who are concerned about vaccine passports are idiots…."

I think it's fair to call people idiots when they stormed the wrong building, chanting and ranting.

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance."

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

"I though they were protesting against vaccine passports rather than the vaccine itself?

With such a small minority of the population being actual ‘antivaxers’ by the true definition I find it highly unlikely all of these people were against the vaccine in its entirety.

I think anyone who tries to storm a media building to try to stop a law is a dangerous extremist, no matter what flavour of dangerous extremist they are.

Firstly I think it depends what the law is. If it’s changing a law that also protects women from forced abortions (which is likely to be the one theyd need to change to introduce forced vaccination) then I’d be protesting it too. P.S. not saying that’s what it’s about I’m just giving an example as to why not everyone protesting against a law change should be considered an extremist.

Secondly that wasn’t what I said in the first place. I said I found it unlikely they were ‘antivaxers’

"Protesters begin to shout “shame on you, shame on you” with one accusing the corporation of “not giving out the right information” and claiming “they are coming for our f****** children”."

Sounds a bit antivaxxy to me.

Ok so then so far we have two individuals that sounds like antivaxers. I still find it unlikely that everyone there has never had a single vaccine in their lives…..

So do I. So what?

Antivaxxers who spout utter nonsense about the Covid vaccine have often had other vaccines in their lives. You think these people would be consistent on anything?

Actually that’s the point. An antivaxer has not had a single other vaccine in their lives. That’s the definition of an antivaxer?!

You’re mixing people up.

No it isn't. An antivaxxer is just, at its most fundamental level, somebody who is opposed to vaccination. Look up the definition if you don't believe me.

Not sure how many of those so fundamentally opposed would have ever had a vaccine so almost the same thing. But I stand slightly corrected.

I think leaving the vulnerable with a choice of risking death (with or without vaccination) or permanent house arrest is unbefitting of a civilised country. Which is where we are now.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

"Why does everything bed to be polarised.

Can we not defend a free press and crackpots who break into buildings to protest crackpot ideas?.

Dangerous extremists?.

There hardly Isis, the old fashioned locked up for the weekend and a big fine has always dissuaded most, shall we try that or jump straight to lynchings and inquisitions.

The far left have lost their minds with this virus and the far right never had one to begin with.

It's time for the sensible people in the middle to say you lot, shut the fuck up, your embarrassing yourself.

Oh, the reasonable middle. Self proclaimed, of course

Please explain to me why storming a media building is not dangerous or extreme. How it differs from other attempts to undermine the pillars of our society.

I didn't say Isis. They are a lot like Y'all Qaeda and that mess on January 6 though. In fact, I bet they share a lot of disinformation material."

Because plenty of people illegally enter buildings with all sorts of intentions, Greenpeace, extinction rebellion, occupy wall Street, squatters, lots of people good extremist views, the religious, Communists, Satanists.

We don't classify them dangerous unless there dangerous like extremist Islamists who want to chop your head off or Satanists with plots sacrifice, Communists with plans of Revolution.

You don't get people out of extremist positions by bankrupting them thru lack of work or forcing them into poverty, we found this out decades ago.

Vaccine statistics will actually show that practically nobody is listening to them except oddbods on the intent, you can choose to be one of those oddbods or not, you do you as some would say.

Permanent house arrest? Lol. They can go out, they have been vaccinated, and they have a choice whether to stay in. I have members of my family in that category and all just want to get on with life and don’t dream of coercing others into things.

And a civilised country has informed consent and medical autonomy.

Sone people need to get a life, they’re literally obsessed with covid. It’s given their life a meaning.

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

I’m disgusted

When will it end

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things "

There you go - ‘The science at the moment’ .

So by definition, should the science change you’ll have absolutely no issue with banning vaccinated people from certain things

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening."

The vaccine protects but people without it are walking vectors of disease.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

You said it’s safe. Then if you agree it’s not 100%, why should people take any risk because of your fear of covid? Even a small risk? Medical autonomy allows informed consent.

To add…. Medical segregation is vile, and a lot of people will be embarrassed they supported it in years to come IMO. Get a grip. Get the vaccine if you’re worried. Don’t segregate and deny people freedoms because of your fear. "

You are aware we have medical segregation in this country right?

I guess that because it has been directly affected you in the past you just not that bothered about it.

The RR of a vaccine is based on a certain amount of distribution in the population, not 100%, We're on target to meet that.

I really don't care what the 5% think or do, they're not effecting the efficacy of the vaccine nor my life, I think this way about rock climbers or sky divers your taking a risk not worth taking but feel free.

Almost all medication that is prescribed daily is considered safe however none of it is a 100% so I'm assuming you don't take any medication for anything ever.

What a weird assumption! Of course I’ve taken medicine. And every medicine I’ve had has never left anyone with a choice of taking it or being excluded from society. And that includes the flu jab, and flu kills tons of older and vulnerable people. It’s called informed consent and is fundamental to civilised society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

I’m disgusted

When will it end

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

The vaccine protects but people without it are walking vectors of disease.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

Walking vectors of disease lol

No, they’re not. Grow up. Your fear is laughable. The average age of death is over 80, and those vaccinated still spread it. You know, that’s life, that’s infectious disease, it happens, people die.

I’ve never been on Facebook, and I didn’t say it wasn’t safe. I said it’s not 100% safe, and bad reactions are rare. But each person can weigh that up. Can you read?"

You seem angry? I’ve never said you said anything. I’m making my point.

The vaccine is safer then getting covid

Some people can’t get the vaccine for legit medical reasons

You are putting people like that at risk by being more likely to contract and spread covid

So it’s only fair you should be barred from certain places until your not a risk

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

Who said 100% safe?

Did you even read?

You said it’s safe. Then if you agree it’s not 100%, why should people take any risk because of your fear of covid? Even a small risk? Medical autonomy allows informed consent.

Almost all medication that is prescribed daily is considered safe however none of it is a 100% so I'm assuming you don't take any medication for anything ever.

What a weird assumption! Of course I’ve taken medicine. And every medicine I’ve had has never left anyone with a choice of taking it or being excluded from society. And that includes the flu jab, and flu kills tons of older and vulnerable people. It’s called informed consent and is fundamental to civilised society."

But that's where you're wrong because you will not be excluded from society you will simply not be able to go to a nightclub and some of the venues from September that is completely different.

You choose not to have the vaccine, some businesses choose not to have you on their premises that is called informed consent.

Fair to ban people for exercising medical autonomy? Everyone is a risk with every infectious disease. That’s life. Same with flu, same with norovirus. Going out is a risk. Driving risks a crash and hurting others. Get a grip. You’ve been persuaded into thinking medical segregation is virtuous. Christ there’s no hope.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

Walking vectors of disease lol

No, they’re not. Grow up. Your fear is laughable. The average age of death is over 80, and those vaccinated still spread it. You know, that’s life, that’s infectious disease, it happens, people die.

I’ve never been on Facebook, and I didn’t say it wasn’t safe. I said it’s not 100% safe, and bad reactions are rare. But each person can weigh that up. Can you read?

But nobody on this thread has claimed it was a 100% say so I really don't understand what your issue is.

I was responding to the scared bloke who said it’s safe so people who don’t want it should be banned from certain things. It’s not 100% safe and that is the basis of informed consent and medical autonomy.

Putting on a seatbelt, which is the laughable comparison, is totally safe, so there’s no issue (maybe you might catch a nail in the buckle, but that’s about it!).

Why do you feel the need to insult people and call him scared and also you said he claimed it was a 100% safe and he didn't.

It's not a bad comparison at all it's just you don't want to see it that way because it doesn't go for fit with your narrative.

I said scared because he has a fear of a virus with an average death age over 80, and is happy to segregate society on this basis like an authoritarian fascist. I didn’t insult him."

The seatbelt is a terrible comparison as you do t object a seatbelt. Christ I can’t believe I had to even say that! Lol.

If they had walked 500 yards further up the road they would of found the BBC most important building. The one where they broadcast everything out of. "

I was listening to one of the organisers of the protest yesterday being interviewed on the radio today. He said when asked why he had come to the wrong place "BBC or ITV they are both the same"

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

I’m disgusted

When will it end

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

I’m not scared of the virus, I just see where this is going.

Weee gonna have a year or 2 of heavy vaccination while the world rolls out more vaccinations.

Treatments are going to be developed, more studies on the virus, and most importantly, the virus mutations will come to an anticlimactic halt where it’s nothing more than the flu.

Then the vaccine will be offered out as optional like the flu vaccine is.

If anything you seem scared

Lol, I hope you’re right about the virus and it’s direction, genuinely. But by then the government will tell everyone exactly what you have to do to update your “passport”. That’s what I totally disagree with, and I despise segregation of society on any grounds. It’s disgusting.

Im scared of the way the world is going with so many people who seem to think segregation is virtuous. Chills me to the bone.

I just think your missing the other side. The UK lost its measles free status because people refused to get vaccines.

If we treated vaccines like we do now when the polio vaccine was made we would still have polio.

Vaccines work on the idea of mass uptake. There’s still a lot unknown about this virus and we have science backing up that the vaccine is safer than covid.

So it makes sense to me to get as many vaccinated as possible until we’re in a better position

"

Covid is not dangerous to healthy young age groups, and there is no long term data. For over 50s the vaccine is definitely a sensible choice.

Science changes. It’s not a definite.

The vaccines are also not doing particularly well at limiting transmission, but they are doing very well at reducing severe cases. The vaccine should get individual choice.

The point is vaccine passports and segregation are a much bigger issue than covid. I despair at people who can’t see this. Segregation is vile, and removing medical autonomy will not end at covid. Think about it.

My brother is off the scale special needs. He's been vaccinated. We all know you can still contract covid when vaccinated but it should not be as dangerous as if you were ni5 vaccinated. Sometimes tho, with some people like my bro, any infection can be bad. So yes as people who are un vaccinated are at greater risk of getting covid, they are also more likely to pass it on to someone else. That's putting their health at risk, No?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

The vaccine protects but people without it are walking vectors of disease.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

Walking vectors of disease lol

No, they’re not. Grow up. Your fear is laughable. The average age of death is over 80, and those vaccinated still spread it. You know, that’s life, that’s infectious disease, it happens, people die.

I’ve never been on Facebook, and I didn’t say it wasn’t safe. I said it’s not 100% safe, and bad reactions are rare. But each person can weigh that up. Can you read?

But nobody on this thread has claimed it was a 100% say so I really don't understand what your issue is.

I was responding to the scared bloke who said it’s safe so people who don’t want it should be banned from certain things. It’s not 100% safe and that is the basis of informed consent and medical autonomy.

Putting on a seatbelt, which is the laughable comparison, is totally safe, so there’s no issue (maybe you might catch a nail in the buckle, but that’s about it!).

Why do you feel the need to insult people and call him scared and also you said he claimed it was a 100% safe and he didn't.

It's not a bad comparison at all it's just you don't want to see it that way because it doesn't go for fit with your narrative.

I said scared because he has a fear of a virus with an average death age over 80, and is happy to segregate society on this basis like an authoritarian fascist. I didn’t insult him.

I’m not scared of the virus, I just see where this is going.

Weee gonna have a year or 2 of heavy vaccination while the world rolls out more vaccinations.

Treatments are going to be developed, more studies on the virus, and most importantly, the virus mutations will come to an anticlimactic halt where it’s nothing more than the flu.

Then the vaccine will be offered out as optional like the flu vaccine is.

If anything you seem scared

Lol, I hope you’re right about the virus and it’s direction, genuinely. But by then the government will tell everyone exactly what you have to do to update your “passport”. That’s what I totally disagree with, and I despise segregation of society on any grounds. It’s disgusting.

Im scared of the way the world is going with so many people who seem to think segregation is virtuous. Chills me to the bone.

I just think your missing the other side. The UK lost its measles free status because people refused to get vaccines.

If we treated vaccines like we do now when the polio vaccine was made we would still have polio.

Vaccines work on the idea of mass uptake. There’s still a lot unknown about this virus and we have science backing up that the vaccine is safer than covid.

So it makes sense to me to get as many vaccinated as possible until we’re in a better position

Covid is not dangerous to healthy young age groups, and there is no long term data. For over 50s the vaccine is definitely a sensible choice.

Science changes. It’s not a definite.

The vaccines are also not doing particularly well at limiting transmission, but they are doing very well at reducing severe cases. The vaccine should get individual choice.

The point is vaccine passports and segregation are a much bigger issue than covid. I despair at people who can’t see this. Segregation is vile, and removing medical autonomy will not end at covid. Think about it."

Are you for real? Not dangerous to healthy young age groups? Tell that to all the healthy young people who died from it yeah.

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

I’m disgusted

When will it end

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

My brother is off the scale special needs. He's been vaccinated. We all know you can still contract covid when vaccinated but it should not be as dangerous as if you were ni5 vaccinated. Sometimes tho, with some people like my bro, any infection can be bad. So yes as people who are un vaccinated are at greater risk of getting covid, they are also more likely to pass it on to someone else. That's putting their health at risk, No? "

Yes, like every other infectious disease ever. And if everyone is vaccinated he can still catch it. I’d imagine he was at greater risk of flu but no one has ever mentioned segregation based on the flu vaccine.

So it makes sense to me to get as many vaccinated as possible until we’re in a better position

Covid is not dangerous to healthy young age groups, and there is no long term data. For over 50s the vaccine is definitely a sensible choice.

Science changes. It’s not a definite.

The vaccines are also not doing particularly well at limiting transmission, but they are doing very well at reducing severe cases. The vaccine should get individual choice.

The point is vaccine passports and segregation are a much bigger issue than covid. I despair at people who can’t see this. Segregation is vile, and removing medical autonomy will not end at covid. Think about it.

Are you for real? Not dangerous to healthy young age groups? Tell that to all the healthy young people who died from it yeah.

Young people with no underlying condition are absurdly low chance of death. Check the stats.

Link th stats. All the ones I’ve seen say the vaccine is safer than covid at all ages "

There is no long term data for the vaccine and the risk of covid to young healthy people is tiny. Literally tiny. It’s totally different for older people I agree. Do some googling or search the nhs data, the number of under 30s dead from covid with no underlying condition is tiny.

But the point is medical autonomy is a much bigger issue. Covid is only part of this. I’m not arguing against the vaccine. I’m arguing against medical segregation. It’s vile.

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

I’m disgusted

When will it end

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

The vaccine protects but people without it are walking vectors of disease.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

Walking vectors of disease lol

No, they’re not. Grow up. Your fear is laughable. The average age of death is over 80, and those vaccinated still spread it. You know, that’s life, that’s infectious disease, it happens, people die.

I’ve never been on Facebook, and I didn’t say it wasn’t safe. I said it’s not 100% safe, and bad reactions are rare. But each person can weigh that up. Can you read?

But nobody on this thread has claimed it was a 100% say so I really don't understand what your issue is.

I was responding to the scared bloke who said it’s safe so people who don’t want it should be banned from certain things. It’s not 100% safe and that is the basis of informed consent and medical autonomy.

Putting on a seatbelt, which is the laughable comparison, is totally safe, so there’s no issue (maybe you might catch a nail in the buckle, but that’s about it!).

Why do you feel the need to insult people and call him scared and also you said he claimed it was a 100% safe and he didn't.

It's not a bad comparison at all it's just you don't want to see it that way because it doesn't go for fit with your narrative.

I said scared because he has a fear of a virus with an average death age over 80, and is happy to segregate society on this basis like an authoritarian fascist. I didn’t insult him.

I’m not scared of the virus, I just see where this is going.

Weee gonna have a year or 2 of heavy vaccination while the world rolls out more vaccinations.

Treatments are going to be developed, more studies on the virus, and most importantly, the virus mutations will come to an anticlimactic halt where it’s nothing more than the flu.

Then the vaccine will be offered out as optional like the flu vaccine is.

If anything you seem scared

Lol, I hope you’re right about the virus and it’s direction, genuinely. But by then the government will tell everyone exactly what you have to do to update your “passport”. That’s what I totally disagree with, and I despise segregation of society on any grounds. It’s disgusting.

Im scared of the way the world is going with so many people who seem to think segregation is virtuous. Chills me to the bone.

I just think your missing the other side. The UK lost its measles free status because people refused to get vaccines.

If we treated vaccines like we do now when the polio vaccine was made we would still have polio.

England stats:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01897-w

“Of 3,105 deaths from all causes among the 12 million or so people under 18 in England between March 2020 and February 2021, 25 were attributable to COVID-19 — a rate of about 2 for every million people in this age range. None had asthma or type-1 diabetes, the authors note, and about half had conditions that put them at a higher risk than healthy children of dying from any cause.”

25 kids in a year, half with underlying conditions. So about a dozen. More died in car crashes, so let’s ban cars? Christ.

But my point again is I’m not against the vaccine. I’m against medical segregation. It’s vile.

"I though they were protesting against vaccine passports rather than the vaccine itself?

With such a small minority of the population being actual ‘antivaxers’ by the true definition I find it highly unlikely all of these people were against the vaccine in its entirety.

I think anyone who tries to storm a media building to try to stop a law is a dangerous extremist, no matter what flavour of dangerous extremist they are.

Firstly I think it depends what the law is. If it’s changing a law that also protects women from forced abortions (which is likely to be the one theyd need to change to introduce forced vaccination) then I’d be protesting it too. P.S. not saying that’s what it’s about I’m just giving an example as to why not everyone protesting against a law change should be considered an extremist.

Secondly that wasn’t what I said in the first place. I said I found it unlikely they were ‘antivaxers’

I didn't say protest. I said storm a media building to change a law.

Media are not creators of law.

These people are resorting to violence.

Abortion is a red herring but you do you.

I've been to plenty of protests, pretty sure I have a file with the Australian spy agency (very boring). I march and shout slogans.

But it's interesting that you conflate all protest while also trying to make sure that these people aren't conflated with anti vaxxers.

These people are dangerous extremists. I make no comments on their affiliation.

I haven’t conflated all protests at all.

You took one line of what I said, interpreted completely differently to how I intended it (and how it actually reads) and then contradict me using your own interpretation of what I said. Despite me pointing out what I actually said which was:

I find it highly unlikely everyone there was an antivaxer.

You then called them all extremists. Again are you sure they were ALL storming the building? All of them?

Every single attendee?

Bit of a dangerous generalisation but again each to their own.

If you want to defend this group then you do you.

Personally I'd rather defend a free press. One of the cornerstones of Western democracy.

Just to give you some insight:

I fully support a free press

I fully (and will protest if necessary) support free speech

I fully support the vaccination programme

I fully support the right to choose

I don’t support hypocrisy

I don’t support generalisation of a huge proportion of society

I don’t support shaming people for being scared

There is no long term data for the vaccine and the risk of covid to young healthy people is tiny. Literally tiny. It’s totally different for older people I agree. Do some googling or search the nhs data, the number of under 30s dead from covid with no underlying condition is tiny.

But the point is medical autonomy is a much bigger issue. Covid is only part of this. I’m not arguing against the vaccine. I’m arguing against medical segregation. It’s vile.

So no stats?

Check the nhs data. Or you tell me the stats of the high risk to children? "

You told us to check the stats, so I assumed you must have already checked them and concluded that the vaccine isn’t as safe as covid for younger people?

Or did you just randomly say “check the stats” without checking them yourself

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

I’m disgusted

When will it end

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

The vaccine protects but people without it are walking vectors of disease.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

Walking vectors of disease lol

No, they’re not. Grow up. Your fear is laughable. The average age of death is over 80, and those vaccinated still spread it. You know, that’s life, that’s infectious disease, it happens, people die.

I’ve never been on Facebook, and I didn’t say it wasn’t safe. I said it’s not 100% safe, and bad reactions are rare. But each person can weigh that up. Can you read?

But nobody on this thread has claimed it was a 100% say so I really don't understand what your issue is.

I was responding to the scared bloke who said it’s safe so people who don’t want it should be banned from certain things. It’s not 100% safe and that is the basis of informed consent and medical autonomy.

Putting on a seatbelt, which is the laughable comparison, is totally safe, so there’s no issue (maybe you might catch a nail in the buckle, but that’s about it!).

Why do you feel the need to insult people and call him scared and also you said he claimed it was a 100% safe and he didn't.

It's not a bad comparison at all it's just you don't want to see it that way because it doesn't go for fit with your narrative.

I said scared because he has a fear of a virus with an average death age over 80, and is happy to segregate society on this basis like an authoritarian fascist. I didn’t insult him.

I’m not scared of the virus, I just see where this is going.

Weee gonna have a year or 2 of heavy vaccination while the world rolls out more vaccinations.

Treatments are going to be developed, more studies on the virus, and most importantly, the virus mutations will come to an anticlimactic halt where it’s nothing more than the flu.

Then the vaccine will be offered out as optional like the flu vaccine is.

If anything you seem scared

Lol, I hope you’re right about the virus and it’s direction, genuinely. But by then the government will tell everyone exactly what you have to do to update your “passport”. That’s what I totally disagree with, and I despise segregation of society on any grounds. It’s disgusting.

Im scared of the way the world is going with so many people who seem to think segregation is virtuous. Chills me to the bone.

I just think your missing the other side. The UK lost its measles free status because people refused to get vaccines.

If we treated vaccines like we do now when the polio vaccine was made we would still have polio.

Vaccines work on the idea of mass uptake. There’s still a lot unknown about this virus and we have science backing up that the vaccine is safer than covid.

So it makes sense to me to get as many vaccinated as possible until we’re in a better position

Covid is not dangerous to healthy young age groups, and there is no long term data. For over 50s the vaccine is definitely a sensible choice.

Science changes. It’s not a definite.

The vaccines are also not doing particularly well at limiting transmission, but they are doing very well at reducing severe cases. The vaccine should get individual choice.

The point is vaccine passports and segregation are a much bigger issue than covid. I despair at people who can’t see this. Segregation is vile, and removing medical autonomy will not end at covid. Think about it.

Are you for real? Not dangerous to healthy young age groups? Tell that to all the healthy young people who died from it yeah.

Young people with no underlying condition are absurdly low chance of death. Check the stats.

I’ve linked some above for you. Genuinely, feel free to search the net. There’s stats everywhere, Lancet etc. The risk to young people and children is very small.

But yet again I have to keep saying, everyone should be free to choose and interpret their own risk without fascist medical segregation forcing them to take it. That is the point.

England stats:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01897-w

“Of 3,105 deaths from all causes among the 12 million or so people under 18 in England between March 2020 and February 2021, 25 were attributable to COVID-19 — a rate of about 2 for every million people in this age range. None had asthma or type-1 diabetes, the authors note, and about half had conditions that put them at a higher risk than healthy children of dying from any cause.”

25 kids in a year, half with underlying conditions. So about a dozen. More died in car crashes, so let’s ban cars? Christ.

But my point again is I’m not against the vaccine. I’m against medical segregation. It’s vile."

Right well let’s focus on that then.

I don’t think you’ll get around this. Until the covid situation is under control and more is known about it, along with better treatments, the vaccine is out best answer.

And I understand your point about consent. But as of right now you’d only be banned from certain places. Night clubs, big events.

And you’ll find that most of these events are agreeing with the law. They see the data showing how safe the vaccine is, how effective it is, and they don’t want to see their industry put at risk of closing again because of the unvaccinated

I understand your point, but I think your fighting a losing battle that’s not worth fighting.

All this is going away soon, the vaccine will becone optional, vaccine passports will be done away with for covid abs it’ll be downgraded to a seasonal flu.

There’s much bigger attacks on your freedom you should be worried about right now. All this PC woke culture stuff is gonna make it illegal to look at someone the wrong way soon. Offending someone is going to put you in prison. We’re literally walking towards a 1984 style future where thoughts can get you in trouble.

There’s also climate change to worry about

And the fact that there’s going to be a huge shift in labour and unprecedented levels of unemployment when AI starts taking off. Universal basic income will become the norm. And when a government controls your income via UBI they control everything you do. Step out of line and youlll soon find out.

But I get your point

Can we take a moment to realise some people deemed as "anti vax" didn't start off that way and suffering a vaccine injury made them question them.

Whichever way you think towards vaccines vaccine passports are a slippery slope and should hold no place in a democratic society.

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

My brother is off the scale special needs. He's been vaccinated. We all know you can still contract covid when vaccinated but it should not be as dangerous as if you were ni5 vaccinated. Sometimes tho, with some people like my bro, any infection can be bad. So yes as people who are un vaccinated are at greater risk of getting covid, they are also more likely to pass it on to someone else. That's putting their health at risk, No?

Yes, like every other infectious disease ever. And if everyone is vaccinated he can still catch it. I’d imagine he was at greater risk of flu but no one has ever mentioned segregation based on the flu vaccine."

If course. But being in vaccinated significantly increases the chances.

Not drink driving and wearing seatbelts don’t involve medical autonomy, nor do they prevent any freedoms. Wearing a seatbelt has no downside. Not drink driving has no downside. Giving away medical autonomy has a huge downside, but some can’t see the bigger picture here.

The science at the moment says that the vaccine is safe and effective.

By not having it, you are a risk to other people’s health.

We ban smoking indoors too.

Makes sense to ban unvaccinated people from certain things

100% safe? Really? Nonsense. Bad reactions are rare but it’s not 100% safe.

Risking others health? They can have the vaccine! To use your drving analogy, if we ban cars totally that will stop all road deaths! Sorted! Should we go that?

It is authoritarian and fascist to ban people from doing certain things if they choose their right of bodily autonomy. The fact you can’t see the precedent set there is frightening.

The vaccine protects but people without it are walking vectors of disease.

Certain people can’t get it. Are you gonna infect them cuz Facebook told you the vaccine isn’t safe?

Walking vectors of disease lol

No, they’re not. Grow up. Your fear is laughable. The average age of death is over 80, and those vaccinated still spread it. You know, that’s life, that’s infectious disease, it happens, people die.

I’ve never been on Facebook, and I didn’t say it wasn’t safe. I said it’s not 100% safe, and bad reactions are rare. But each person can weigh that up. Can you read?

But nobody on this thread has claimed it was a 100% say so I really don't understand what your issue is.

I was responding to the scared bloke who said it’s safe so people who don’t want it should be banned from certain things. It’s not 100% safe and that is the basis of informed consent and medical autonomy.

Putting on a seatbelt, which is the laughable comparison, is totally safe, so there’s no issue (maybe you might catch a nail in the buckle, but that’s about it!).

Why do you feel the need to insult people and call him scared and also you said he claimed it was a 100% safe and he didn't.

It's not a bad comparison at all it's just you don't want to see it that way because it doesn't go for fit with your narrative.

I said scared because he has a fear of a virus with an average death age over 80, and is happy to segregate society on this basis like an authoritarian fascist. I didn’t insult him.

I’m not scared of the virus, I just see where this is going.

Weee gonna have a year or 2 of heavy vaccination while the world rolls out more vaccinations.

Treatments are going to be developed, more studies on the virus, and most importantly, the virus mutations will come to an anticlimactic halt where it’s nothing more than the flu.

Then the vaccine will be offered out as optional like the flu vaccine is.

If anything you seem scared

Lol, I hope you’re right about the virus and it’s direction, genuinely. But by then the government will tell everyone exactly what you have to do to update your “passport”. That’s what I totally disagree with, and I despise segregation of society on any grounds. It’s disgusting.

Im scared of the way the world is going with so many people who seem to think segregation is virtuous. Chills me to the bone.

I just think your missing the other side. The UK lost its measles free status because people refused to get vaccines.

If we treated vaccines like we do now when the polio vaccine was made we would still have polio.

Vaccines work on the idea of mass uptake. There’s still a lot unknown about this virus and we have science backing up that the vaccine is safer than covid.

So it makes sense to me to get as many vaccinated as possible until we’re in a better position

Covid is not dangerous to healthy young age groups, and there is no long term data. For over 50s the vaccine is definitely a sensible choice.

Science changes. It’s not a definite.

The vaccines are also not doing particularly well at limiting transmission, but they are doing very well at reducing severe cases. The vaccine should get individual choice.

The point is vaccine passports and segregation are a much bigger issue than covid. I despair at people who can’t see this. Segregation is vile, and removing medical autonomy will not end at covid. Think about it.

Are you for real? Not dangerous to healthy young age groups? Tell that to all the healthy young people who died from it yeah.

Young people with no underlying condition are absurdly low chance of death. Check the stats."

I know it's lower but you said not dangerous.

"As you'll have seen on the news, the antivax movement tried to storm the BBC yesterday. At the headquarters that they moved out of many years ago . Loose Women was being filmed there by ITV.

I found it slightly amusing that they were so out of touch and out of date. It perhaps typifies them as a group.

Obviously these are the core antivax lot, rather than those who have been understandably hesitant. Sadly the antivax movement is very powerful, having bombarded us with millions of social media, blog and site posts over the pandemic. It does reflect their silos that are divorced from the majority of the population. I don't know whether they wanted to join the lesbians who stormed BBC news but they would have been too late

"I think denying people normal freedoms unless they have the covid jab is dangerous extremism, and it should be voluntary with no coercion at all.

I reckon 99% would have agreed 18 months ago, but many have become totally blinded by covid and would happily segregate society based on people’s choice to exercise medical autonomy. The term anti vaxer is now thrown around absurdly to anyone who simply doesn’t agree with passports. It’s so easy to get people to slip into this lazy way of thinking without nuance.

This this this!

So many people keep saying “everyone has choices in life and you face the consequences bla bla”

But that’s crap. A choice in life is decisions like do I study law or physiology at uni

Rather than “if you don’t do law in university we’re going to take away your first born child” that isn’t choice when you threaten to take away something that is fundamentally your right in a free society.

Totally agree. The “you have a choice but there’s consequences” is such a bad argument it’s laughable. When you get mugged at knifepoint you have a choice not to hand over your wallet…. But you don’t really, let’s face it.

There should be no coercion at all. It’s vile and sets a horrendous precedent in relation to bodily autonomy, but so many can’t see it as they’ve been swept along with covid and literally think of nothing else. It’s given some peoples life a meaning, which is a shame, as they clearly have little else.

We can easily spin the consequences argument round…. The vax should be totally voluntary and tough shit to those who are scared of covid. Stay in your house, and if you go out the risk is a consequence, you have a choice…. See, easy!

I’ve come to the conclusion many people just like being told what to do by the government.

Yeah, like who do they think we are? First they say you can’t drive d*unk, then they make laws about wearing seltbelts and using your phone while driving, and now they want us to get a vaccine which saves lives?

Not dangerous to the vast vast majority. Getting in a car has a small chance of death, doesn’t mean we should ban that. I swear I don’t know how people survived life before covid, everything has a small risk, even knitting!

Cameras panning to Corbyn and his fellow numpties with their jaws hitting the floor as they interrupt a talk on the menopause.

People should all be able to get on with life whatever their medical choice, that’s the point. Vaccine passports and all that will come with them will not do that. If anyone thinks it’ll end with the covid jab, they’re very naive.

I'm glad you agree. We should prosecute these anti vaccine terrorists to the fullest extent of the law, and recognise that their inability to tolerate media that disagrees with them (or using them as a soft target for the government) is anathema to democracy or even civilisation. I hope that they are treated with the same standards as any other terrorist.

Fortunately another important part of our civilisation is the rule of law - that the law is known and applies equally to all. I'm very proud of this British tradition and its spread throughout the world.

...and protest is a similarly noble tradition in this country.

I would, in most cases, not agree with unlawful protest. I think it's generally counter productive.

However, we are about to enter a period where the government is trying to pass unjust laws to make lawful protest more difficult (Amnesty and the UN are against the moves!).

This is a quandary. I think under those circumstances, unlawful protest could be justified, were it protests against the laws themselves.

"I though they were protesting against vaccine passports rather than the vaccine itself?

With such a small minority of the population being actual ‘antivaxers’ by the true definition I find it highly unlikely all of these people were against the vaccine in its entirety.

I think anyone who tries to storm a media building to try to stop a law is a dangerous extremist, no matter what flavour of dangerous extremist they are.

I agree, especially extinction rebellion, climate change activists, vegan activists, animal rights activists, BLM activists and so on. The law applies to all.

Sure. The law applies to all.

I'm glad you agree. We should prosecute these anti vaccine terrorists to the fullest extent of the law, and recognise that their inability to tolerate media that disagrees with them (or using them as a soft target for the government) is anathema to democracy or even civilisation. I hope that they are treated with the same standards as any other terrorist.

This is why we fought against the Nazis - to preserve our freedoms against minority groups who would erode our civilisation by force.

Terrorist?

What else would you call attempting to storm the BBC? Stopping in for a cup of tea?

Fortunately another important part of our civilisation is the rule of law - that the law is known and applies equally to all. I'm very proud of this British tradition and its spread throughout the world.

So any group committing terrorist activities, no matter their views, should be prosecuted equally according to their actions. Even if I agree with the cause.

We should show the world that Global post Brexit Britain is proud of its traditions and defends them. And so prosecute those who would attack our free press to the fullest extent of the law.

Well all protesters who act in the same manner must also face terrorism charges.

Sounds like the anti hunt terrorists need to watch out.

Yes. All people, no matter what side they're on, who behave in a criminal manner (this includes terrorism) should be treated the same regardless of their beliefs.

This is the Britain I'm proud to have moved to. The law applying equally to all. A criminal is a criminal and a terrorist is a terrorist. ISIS, anti vaxxers/ anti passport, BLM, Extinction Rebellion, all the same. If they committed crimes they should be prosecuted equally.

What grand, strong, noble traditions this country has. They will not be cowed by these revolting terrorists who dare to threaten them. We shall prevail

I absolutely agree. I do not think that protest per se should be criminalised. I think that's dangerous and I might consider putting my own liberty on the line to defend it. (as many activists have known that their stance would come at a cost)

I do not think the actions this thread is about should in any way be protected - and should be prosecuted whether it's Isis or "I love freedom, apple pie/fish and chips, and fluffy bunnies" perpetrating the action.

"Today on Loose Women: some loose screws!

Why let fact like location get in the the way of misinformation?

Who was their driver, Mr Orange face? AKA Trumpy-thumpy?

Similar tactics, but the US Capitol is a bit harder to lose "

Hahaha!

He still lost it though, he should've moved to Martha's Vineyard and done something about his sour grapes.

From white house to house white: I posted something like in in January.

The simple truth is that the average age of people dying from Covid is no longer 80.

It will get them all eventually, unfortunately the rest of us will pick up tbe tab for their hospital treatment before they die.

Sad really but everyone has a choice.

The average life span lost was 10 years, in the early pandemic - but some people wrote off the over 80s, assuming they'd all just got a couple of days to live. Tens of thousands of people, losing 10 years of life - it's beyond sad

That's an interesting thought! In some countries, other insurgents would have probably done that!

"Demonstrates how good their research is......

They’ve done their own research, the corrupt MSM might want you to think the BBC moved out of Shepherd’s Bush years ago but in a video on YouTube Mike Yeadon says different, and he invented the TARDIS."

Exactly what I was thinking. Wake up sheeple.
