"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk " Ah so people who can't have the vaccine aren't sensible? | |||

"" I hope you will get well soon "" Much appreciated but I'm fine thanks- have kept away.. I am struggling to find sympathy and is this the 'common sense' Boris wanted from the public in respect to his employer? | |||

"... a family member who refused vaccination, then went on a pub crawl last Saturday, caught COVID and most likely Omicron after banging on for weeks how the new 'cold' won't affect him much He is now very ill.. The first 4 days, his employer was phoning and insisting he returned to work. Anyway, thats not happening now as taken a turn for the worst since. His wife, a severe asthma sufferer has continued to share a bed with him, neither have worn masks in the presence of each other, windows have remained shut, then refused to test as she'd have to stay off work - today tested positive. What do you say to them?" You say ’im sorry you're I'll and not doing too well. Is there anything I can do to help? Do you need me to get anything for you? Medication etc? I hope you start to feel better soon'. Anything negative or gloating is just dickish behaviour in my opinion. | |||

"Why do you think he was more certain to find exposure on a pub crawl than at work or on public transport ?" As he drives to work and works in a back office on his own, very low chances.. | |||

"I don't think blocking your boss's number is a good move Why not - it's actually illegal in employment law to harass someone off sick?" What if he was wanting to offer a pay rise and couldn't get through ? | |||

"I don't think blocking your boss's number is a good move Why not - it's actually illegal in employment law to harass someone off sick?" Where does he work? If his boss is demanding he goes into work when sick, he probably caught it at work and just spread it round the pub crawl. | |||

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk " How does it put sensible employees at more risk? Us vaccinated people have more protection than the unvaccinated. It doesn’t stop us from catching but it does reduce the likelihood of serious symptoms (until efficacy wanes). It also doesn’t stop us from transmitting (although there is a school of thought that the vaccinated are infectious for less time - if someone can point me to that research would be grateful). In addition because the vaccine reduces symptoms, it is possible for us to be infectious without knowing it and attending work. So in actual fact your unvaccinated co-worker is more at risk from you then you from them! | |||

"Very black n white.. They've had all the get well soon wishes, offers of support you'd expect.. not that heartless. But, wouldn't be as ill as he is now if vaccinated. He didn't refuse for conspiracy reasons, he is medically fine to have had it but said he'll let others make the heard. Don't know why people assume Covid has gone, it's very much still with us. So, to go out on a pub crawl, it was a certain he find exposure. Extreme headaches, uncontrollable shivers and struggling with breathing. Certainly not the cold people say it will be. Employers want you in work, it's no longer legal requirement, so why aren't you in. He's blocked bosses number, 3 calls a day demanding he goes in." You can't say for sure he wouldn't be as ill if he had the vaccine. If it was a given no one vaccinated would end up in the hospital. | |||

But it is concerning that you think unvaccinated people are more dangerous to you than vaccinated. I think that gives a false sense of security around the vaccinated. The unvaccinated are more likely to know they are ill and sooner and take precautions. Vaccinated people have less severe symptoms and may not even know they are contagious and thus take no precautions. | |||

Simple. 100%..my neighbour is down with covid.. Bad flu like symptoms according to his wife.. He's Triple jabbed. " My stepmom who is in her 50s only got her second jab in December, within a week her previously mild arthritis flared up to the point where she is now legally disabled. 2+ years without catching covid pre jab she also just tested positive 11 days ago and was extremely poorly with it. Only barely coming out of it now. She also infected my 18 year old brother and sister who both are also double jabbed and are extremely poorly with it right now. I have not had the jab at all and had covid in August (before omicron) while I had cancer (still have cancer but its irrelevant) - mild cold symptoms, mild temperature, slight tiredness and taste and smell gone for about a week. Dirk is not jabbed - same symptoms. Go figure | |||

" The first 4 days, his employer was phoning and insisting he returned to work. I am baffled why an employer would want someone Covid positive coming into work" If that employer is a micromanager/karen/antivax, then that could be one expalintion. Uncaring bosses are really horrible. | |||

"... a family member who refused vaccination, then went on a pub crawl last Saturday, caught COVID and most likely Omicron after banging on for weeks how the new 'cold' won't affect him much He is now very ill.. The first 4 days, his employer was phoning and insisting he returned to work. Anyway, thats not happening now as taken a turn for the worst since. His wife, a severe asthma sufferer has continued to share a bed with him, neither have worn masks in the presence of each other, windows have remained shut, then refused to test as she'd have to stay off work - today tested positive.

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk Ah so people who can't have the vaccine aren't sensible? there is no reason he cant have the vaccine he is just an idiot " So you're actually saying if someone doesn't have the vaccine, they're idiots? Don't get me wrong, I've had the vaccine but I still believe in free choice. I chose to have the vaccine as many people did but just because someone decided not to have the vaccine, that makes it their choice Nobody is in a position to say someone else is not sensible or is an idiot as regards the vaccine. It's called free choice. | |||

"Nobody is in a position to say someone else is not sensible or is an idiot as regards the vaccine. It's called free choice. " If it was a close family member, left bereaved by a partner who didn't take the vaccine, I'd think it reasonable for them to call said partner an idiot. And perhaps someone who's done years of medical research in this field and knows their stuff would have a meaningful right to call said deceased an idiot. Free Will does not confer immunity from making idiotic decisions. | |||

Free Will does not confer immunity from making idiotic decisions." As you obviously have decades if not centuries of experience, do tell me how any are idiots. Now, and obviously I bow to your superior knowledge and also to those who are actually qualified and professional butby having the vaccine, does that make family members, vulnerable or not, immune from getting the virus? Now, far be it from me to know anything but I thought the vaccine was for the individual taking it not for someone else. So, the vaccine doesn't stop you getting the virus and also doesn't stop you passing it on, correct? So, irrespective whether a person has the vaccine or not, it doesn't actually protect other people only the person having it. Therefore, why would it matter whether a close family member has it or not. It's their choice. That's free will. By all means, and as I do said, i bow down to your vast experience (notwithstanding that my close relative is a virologist and immunologist and has 47 years in that field) and he won't have it, so tell me and the baying public, how by having the vaccine can stop the possible demise of a close relative by having the vaccine. The vaccine, as in any vaccine or medication, will help the person not others . Like having a headache, it's your choice to take pain killers or not. | |||

"Very black n white.. They've had all the get well soon wishes, offers of support you'd expect.. not that heartless. But, wouldn't be as ill as he is now if vaccinated. He didn't refuse for conspiracy reasons, he is medically fine to have had it but said he'll let others make the heard. Don't know why people assume Covid has gone, it's very much still with us. So, to go out on a pub crawl, it was a certain he find exposure. Extreme headaches, uncontrollable shivers and struggling with breathing. Certainly not the cold people say it will be. Employers want you in work, it's no longer legal requirement, so why aren't you in. He's blocked bosses number, 3 calls a day demanding he goes in." How do you know he wouldn’t be as ill? | |||

Absolutely, he has put himself at risk of a bad outcome. Long story short, if he'd stayed home that Saturday night. No of them would have caught it. Hope that makes more sense.. Right do you point had NOTHING to fo with this fella being unvaccinated! That really wasn’t obvious when you opening post started as follows... “a family member who refused vaccination, then went on a pub crawl last Saturday, caught COVID and most likely Omicron after banging on for weeks how the new 'cold' won't affect him much”" Just read this back...bloody typos!!!!!! Right SO YOUR point had NOTHING to DO with this fella being unvaccinated! That really wasn’t obvious when YOUR opening post started as follows... | |||

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk " That's a bit nonsensical for so many reasons. Firstly. The vaccine is no guarantee of contagion. Secondly. The vaccine lasts approximately 5 to 6 months at best. So you'd have to get them every 6 months forever to be covered (even though they don't cover you). Thirdly. You put yourself at risk for many things the minute you leave your house. Instead of living in existential dread, try living. You might enjoy yourself. | |||

" I can't believe I have to explain this to a grown adult, ok here goes. Vaccines do not for the most part last a life time. Just a small example. Why do you think flu Vaccines are given yearly? Not just because of different strains but because over time they become less effective. The latest study from new York suggests that the vaccine drops from around %95 effectiveness to just under %70 in 6 months. This is a well established fact. Why do you think boosters are a thing? Do you think you need a booster every 6 months if it doesn't wear off? It's very simple logic. I'm not going to state where I get my information as I'd like tonretain my privacy. However what I will say is my other half is involved with the vaccine and patient systems in place. They have access to this information. It's common knowledge. I said at the start that the vaccine isn't a guarantee of safety. Everyone said I was a conspiracy theorist. A year later while doing audits it was discovered %80 of admitted covid cases were vaccinated. A lot of them within 6 months. So from this clown, kindly shove your poorly informed opinion right up your arse | |||

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk So someone shouldn't get employed due to their own personal medical history? Shocking statement." unfortunately that is true for most people I am old & have some medical problems both of these factors reduce my attractiveness to employers making it difficult for me to get another job | |||

"... refused to test as she'd have to stay off work - today tested positive. It is no longer a legal requirement to self isolate if you test positive" There's no law against jumping off a cliff but sensible people still don't do it. | |||

Perhaps talking to people properly without your obvious distaste for anyone that doesn't share your opinion. You don't want to share where you got the information. Hahahaha, so it's that good?

"To be fair he was responding to someone who called him a clown. So...!!!! Be nice if folks were able to have discussion and accept different perspectives without resorting to insults. Too many keyboard warriors! " I understand that but a man would be able to rise above that and not sink to the insulting rhetoric. Don't forget, others are looking at his responses and may decide on his inability to rise above negative responses that they don't want him as a friend which his profile says he is | |||

"Just to add though, I thought the need for boosters was two fold: 1) A reduction in vaccine efficacy over time. 2) That Covid is a virus and viruses mutate and the vaccines need to be adjusted to be more effective against a new variant(s). Point 2 is certainly the case with the Flu vaccines." It seems the vaccines are now effective for much longer than the 3 months that led to the first round of boosters.... | |||

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk " I am vaccinated before you think otherwise… But please can you explain your rational about “it puts sensible employees at more risk” We know the vaccine doesn’t stop you contracting the virus, it doesn’t stop transmission and we are now lead to believe that 3 doses of the vaccine do not give you long term cover of a less severe reaction. So please explain your rational as I’m interested to understand what you are thinking. | |||

What do you say to them?" If they have refused the vaccination, its there choice, but to go out knowing you could spread it to other people is extremely selfish and on top of all that sleeps with his wife knowing he has it etc, he deserves all he gets in my opinion. There are not only vulnerable people out there but also the NHS who have worked tirelessly through the pandemic in order to keep people safe and your family member couldn't give a fuck. Yes we have lives to live but I'm not in the slightest sympathetic for him. In actual fact I hope it teaches him a lesson in future | |||

Further more if 2 shots dont work how the hell will 4. " I think we've gone past the point of unvaccinated being responsible for passing it on to others. But , it's proven that with a recent shot, you have less chance of being seriously ill if catching it. So thats the point. If you don't believe that part then so be it | |||

It was their choice not to have the vaccination and now they have it, there’s no point in rubbing salt into the wound and they won’t care anyway. My sister refused to have the vaccine and caught Covid, her response? “Well I don’t need the vaccine now as my body will have its own antibodies to the virus” she really doesn’t get the point of it at all | |||
