Years later, with the pressure off and the vaccines now subject to a level of scrutiny which was once outlawed, how important to you is it that your meets have had it?

I'd be uncertain about meeting someone who hadn't and, most especially if they were very antivax.

I don't discuss it before meeting

If they haven't had it I wouldn't know. If it did come up then I think it speaks more to that person's personality that they didn't have it.

It's a personality that I'd have little interest in getting to know.

You think that an unvaccinated person has done something wrong?

Are you implying that vacinnated people have a better personality than unvaccinated people?

I don't care if they're been vaccinated or not. If they cared about my vaccine status we probably wouldn't get on

I don't recall ever seeing a profile that said "won't meet unvaccinated", could be wrong though

Have definitely seen the contrary view

I said no such thing. I merely said that it would indicate someone that I wouldn't wish to get to know better. Obviously some people couldn't have it, but those who chose not to, for whatever reason, suggests personality traits that I probably wouldn't gel with.

Just an opinion and my own thoughts.

We are not vacinnated and believe me there are / were people who would not meet us because of it x

Of course not, that would be ludicrous and a rather silly conclusion to leap to. My comment was more in the vein of people who go on about vaccines are probably not the best for me to have a laugh with.

And before anyone jumps in with, clearly you do as you commented, I rarely comment on anything in the virus forum. Covid is an emotive issue for me and I don't enjoy seeing some of the comments.

I only saw this from the main forum page and gave my opinion to the OP's question.

Conspiracy shit and judging people isn't my bag.

I did think that after I posted. I misspoke, what I should have said was that I don't publicly denigrate people based on opinions and choices they've formed and made.

I just choose not to engage.

It's irrelevant now that COVID is under control but in general the anti vaxxers are not the sort of people we like to spend time with.

Not having the vaccine is one thing and fine, preaching conspiracy theories.. big no.

I'm seeing 'conspiracy theories' popping up quite a bit?

I'm curious, do you always trust the government, and assume that they always have people's best interests at heart?

Where do you draw the line between tinfoil hat wearing lunatics, and those with a healthy level of independent scrutiny, who notice when things seem 'off'?

Anyone that's preaches their "opinions" regardless of being presented with facts is probably the worst but the ones who personally know dozens of people who died from the vaccine and nobody who got a slight cough from COVID as well.

No time for it, swinging is a release from reality and listening to that crap is too much like hard work, even if they do happen to be right occasionally.

There's something I tend to notice.

Those who object to the term "conspiracy theorist" because their opponent must believe everything the government says, tend to be on the "lizard people are directing the world and everyone died of Covid vaccines in 2022" variety of, umm, independent thinker. The fact that they jump to "you always trust the government" is an indicator that it's they who can't tell the difference between "Hitler is alive and leading the lizard people" and "gee whiz, our politicians are full of shit".

If you see it as deflection, then good for you. I see it as a reflection on the discussion at hand, and the nuances that may or may not be at play. Some people only see on/off - others of us see shades of grey and know a thing or two about analysing evidence.

As to whether I see myself as correct about conspiracy theories - yeah, I do. And as this is about people choosing to meet other people, my choice about who to meet is always correct, no matter what criteria might be put on it.

You claim to think in shades of grey, yet immediately leapt in with assumptions about those who dislike the term 'conspiracy theory'.

You know about a particular conclusion I've drawn. You don't know anything about it other than the brief interaction we've had here.

It could be a key premise at the end of my doctoral dissertation for all you know. The fact that I'm not giving you any credit doesn't say anything other than your arguments don't move me.

Call me whatever you want (within forum rules) - I'm unmoved. I have observed a correlation. Your objections don't change the correlation. If anything they tend to confirm it.

Responding to your comment about trusting the government.

I’ve just checked these figures.

227,000 people have covid listed somewhere on their death certificate.

From the enquiry, figures dating to 5th May last year.

2012-2019 some 330,000 died prematurely because of austerity.

Austerity is still policy and still killing.

They blew the budget on bin bags with holes cut out for the nurses arms to go through.

That got rather dark.

Not sorry

Again you've gone back to conspiracy theories, you've already concluded that's what these people are and you're refusing to back off from it, which highlights to me that you're a closer to being a black and white thinker yourself than you realise.

Your replies may be verbose, but that's not hiding this plain and simple trait about yourself that you're displaying repeatedly.

We bought caught alpha early on and recorved so felt no need for a vaccine to fight off a weaker variant simple as that wifes position at work nearly came down to the jab or sack and she stood her grounds on the facts it didnt stop the spread and she had already had it, luckily a smart anesthetist on the news pointed out the mandate werent effective and they revoked it

Given that my entire interaction in this thread has been about your comment beginning "I'm seeing 'conspiracy theories' popping up quite a bit?", then why is it surprising that I'm talking about conspiracy theories?

My entire contribution in this thread is about people who conflate all conspiracy theories as independent thinking.

Also, might this thread indicate that I have a low opinion of conspiracy mongering, those who think they know more than scientists, those who follow online gurus, etc? Shock. I am shocked. So shocked. This is so unlike anything I have ever written and I am devastated that I might be deprived of such worthy, suitable, intelligent suitors.

It's a personality that I'd have little interest in getting to know.

You think that an unvaccinated person has done something wrong?"

"Responding to your comment about trusting the government.

I’ve just checked these figures.

227,000 people have covid listed somewhere on their death certificate.

From the enquiry, figures dating to 5th May last year.

2012-2019 some 330,000 died prematurely because of austerity.

Austerity is still policy and still killing.

They blew the budget on bin bags with holes cut out for the nurses arms to go through.

That got rather dark.

Not sorry

Did you do projections for the likely number of deaths without lockdowns and vaccines ?

"

According to a report published by Professor Neil Ferguson's team at Imperial College London, the coronavirus pandemic could have caused 40 million deaths in 2020 if left unchecked.

His previous predictions have been spot on

Who really cares ?? and no one elses business anyways if you have had or not had it surely ?? and if people are happy with their choices despite whatever we may think about them ? so we have no problems it's the one who try and ram their opinion's either for or against we find a major turn off though ! and perhaps people should watch "Breathtaking" and then ....mabe ??

So far vaccination status isn't something that has come in in interactions with potential meets.

If this is something that's extremely important to them, it's unlikely that we would be on the same wavelength.

Herd immunity is a thing. It was to get a high uptake of vaccine.

No longer relevant (due to global exposure of the virus, high uptake of vaccine and mutations with less severity.

Only the elderly, vulnerable and patient facing workers are encouraged/ meet criteria for the NHS COVID vaccine.

Collecting data and scrutiny are different things.

Remember the government are liable for any vaccine side effects because the vaccine manufacturers have total immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines.

It's in the government's own interests not to scrutinise the data too much.

Whilst not saying vaccine reactions don’t happen- they do and unfortunately there are those who have severe and life altering consequences. But these numbers are relatively small and the overall benefits of against Covid are immense.

Consider also- the vast information ( particularly the pathology) we have gained from non human primates . Covid is a serious threat to their existence but also at a cellular level from studies we can see , particularly in Lung and brain pathology ( Lewy bodies in Macaques which are a precursor to Parkinson’s) on the long term threat Covid poses to the human population as genetically they are our closest relative. Covid vaccines now are be rolled out for captive primates world wide.

Vaccination can reduce viral load which in turn reduces the risk of onward transmission ( and R) so it is still and important tool in reducing in lowering infection rates within the human population but little is talked about spread from human to other animals and the risk of reverse zoonosis ( which is already happening in some cases). Ferrets have been well documented but the real risk is probably coming from non human primates- natures way of fighting back- we give them Covid and they potentially give is back a real nasty strain.

I don't judge on things like that. It's up to the individual what goes into their body.

I know several people who refused to get it and only one of them is generally anti-vaccine.

Mostly, it seems that they didn't want an experimental concoction injected into their bloodstream, which is a perfectly reasonable position.

As someone who is generally pretty skeptical myself I am disappointed that I accepted the vaccine without question.

I think, if you're judging people based on that choice, you may be a bit narrow minded.

"

The fact it was experimental isn't a myth.

The idea that it's resulted in deaths is dubious but, certainly worth debating (amongst people who know what they're talking about!)

And your other argument cuts both ways... repeating that the vacvine was 100% safe also doesn't make it true.

The whole "vaccines cause autism" thing has been utterly debunked, the safety (or lack thereof) with the convid vaccine hasn't.

I took the vaccine, I've had no negative effects from it but, I'm not going to tell people who have (and some definitely have) that they're deluded.

I do think it's more than a little interesting that two of the major vaccine providers/creators have now openly admitted that they knew it wouldn't stop infection or even slow the spread which is how they sold it to us.

Being more seriously ill or losing their life, as well as potentially infecting more other people, to those risks too. Despite not being promoted as such, there's evidence that the unvaccinated can be more infectious and for longer, than the vaccinated.

Despite this, millions of doses will be disposed of potentially, by the UK government this year

Plenty of studies show rapid waning of vaccine effectiveness (VE) following immunisation. Other studies show that boosters following the primary course substantially increased protection, but that protection waned over time.

If your last jab was over 100 days ago you'd better book the next one. FOMO is a recognised side effect of the COVID-19 vaccinations

I can't tell whether you wrote this tongue-in-cheek, or whether you are just totally wrong. The truth is that all his models have been wildly inaccurate and always on the pessimistic side. Here are some examples of his previous modelling:

2001 Foot and Mouth disease, predicted 150,000 human deaths, actual deaths fewer than 200.

2002 BSE, predicted 50,000 deaths, actual deaths were 177.

2005 Bird Flu, prediction 150 million deaths, actual deaths 282 worldwide.

2009 Swine Flu, worst case scenario 65,000 deaths in UK, end result 457 deaths.

Why did we believe his predictions for COVID, and why does anyone still listen to him?

"I don't recall ever seeing a profile that said "won't meet unvaccinated", could be wrong though

Have definitely seen the contrary view

I've seen plenty that won't meet vaccinated people.

I think you've seen plenty of people that SAY they won't meet vaccinated people lol

Am I being thick isn't that what I said lol

They probably end up meeting vaccinated, otherwise it's unlikely they'll get sex

Are you saying the vaccinated are a last resort?

I think what she is saying is that are virtually no unvaccinated adults in the uk. If they didn't meet vaccinated people they would be fishing from a very small pool."

We are fishing from a very small pool but I'm ok with that.

So, I'm very interested as to what proof you require ?

Is there a detection system available?

"According to a report published by Professor Neil Ferguson's team at Imperial College London, the coronavirus pandemic could have caused 40 million deaths in 2020 if left unchecked.

His previous predictions have been spot on

I can't tell whether you wrote this tongue-in-cheek, or whether you are just totally wrong. The truth is that all his models have been wildly inaccurate and always on the pessimistic side. Here are some examples of his previous modelling:

2001 Foot and Mouth disease, predicted 150,000 human deaths, actual deaths fewer than 200.

2002 BSE, predicted 50,000 deaths, actual deaths were 177.

2005 Bird Flu, prediction 150 million deaths, actual deaths 282 worldwide.

2009 Swine Flu, worst case scenario 65,000 deaths in UK, end result 457 deaths.

Why did we believe his predictions for COVID, and why does anyone still listen to him?"

At any stage were BSE, Bird or Swine flu already killing 1000+ a day with deaths having doubled every 3 days until restrictions were brought in ?

When did it become acceptable to enquire if strangers such personal information? If I was in the game, i wouldn't ask. So no significant. Can't think of many topics as divisive as covid vaccines ri discuss with a stranger.

We’re proudly unvaccinated and would only interact with the same. Check the governments own data on the yellow card system of adverse reactions and death from MRNA vaccines.

Over 500,000… more than all the previous vaccines ever administered.

Ethics govern research. The use of placebos in research is legal providing informed consent is gained. If you have proof there were placebos once vaccination had begun, you'd earn a lot of money making documentaries.

Is the NHS app still going?"

No idea, so to reiterate, how would anyone know others vaccine status?

"I didn't get the convid jabs, just because my neighbour got one and had a heart attack 2days later she's not been right since bless her, also many of my elderly neighbours who received said jab are no longer with us, some still are, Placebos, but many didn't, I could go on about the countless people I've spoken to, or know that either know people who have died or had health problems ever since the jabs, no conspiracy just reality,also those who have had jabs and no issues your the lucky placebos, also those who are still talking about or catching the old convid are all the jabbed one's, so just my six pennies worth! Also went abroad twice through convid no jabs no convid even the doctor in Ibiza in 2022 said to me he's glad I didn't take the jab when I told him he knew, also just go and check out a place called r u m ble,and look for a documentary called died suddenly that will certainly open your eyes wide open!

So anyone who had no problems with the vaccine received placebos?

Yep, one lady farted for a week ... SERIOUSLY!!

Another got pregnant without having sex "

It's common fact that a percentage have to be placebos!

The answer is the one that suits your agenda of course.

For some it's yes and for some it's no

Maybe it's time to live for today and tomorrow instead of being worried what someone did or didn't do in the past.

EVERYONE knows, but it’s easier to deceive a man, than to convince a man he’s been deceived.

Many cognitive and egocentric biases at play here… most will never admit that they were fooled into taking something that had been rushed (vaccines typically take 10-15 years to develop, not 9 months!) through and not tested at best, or was already previously developed for something much more sinister.

Do you have the strength of heart to question whether the people in control of the world have your best interests at heart?

Turn off you tv and social media, it’s manipulating your mind into believing their painfully obvious lies.

Just our opinion of course ??

A friend of ours is blaming the vaccine on her ill health, the fact that she's over weight, does very little manually, smokes, pretty much a functional alcoholic is irrelevant to her...

No, by your standards it's "safe".

Hugely insulting to anyone who’s been arguing with the coward that is cancer, also hugely inaccurate. Please take a look in the mirror"

Gloating about a rise in cancer is a pretty noxious thing to do. And yet here we are. *shrug*

"EVERYONE knows, but it’s easier to deceive a man, than to convince a man he’s been deceived.

Many cognitive and egocentric biases at play here… most will never admit that they were fooled into taking something that had been rushed (vaccines typically take 10-15 years to develop, not 9 months!) through and not tested at best, or was already previously developed for something much more sinister.

Do you have the strength of heart to question whether the people in control of the world have your best interests at heart?

Turn off you tv and social media, it’s manipulating your mind into believing their painfully obvious lies.

Just our opinion of course ??

How are your cognitive and egocentric biases playing out?

Try thinking about what they're saying rather than jerk your knees in response."

What are your cognitive and egocentric biases telling you?

Or is this something that only works one way?

My biases on this issue work as follows.

Hmm. Sure is suspicious that these vaccines were rolled out so quickly. How did they do it?

- read and listened to people who talked about the delays that usually come into vaccines trials. These include scrambling to find money to fund things and stuff waiting on desks waiting to be approved (which were eliminated in these cases)

- found out more about the technologies behind these vaccines, which have been in development for decades

- being aware of the statistical power of these trials from my prior education in statistics

Hmm. New things are suspicious and big pharma is dodgy as fuck.

- recognising that "new = bad" is not necessarily true, it's just one of those things that most people believe and have to overcome. I know that this is a weakness of mine.

- Big Pharma are dodgy as fuck, but this is why trials are so heavily scrutinised, and we know damn well that every eyebrow twitch on all of these trials was covered extremely closely by the world's media and numerous scientists

Finally, as I sit on my functioning computer (thanks scientists) on my chair that isn't collapsing (thanks scientists) in my apartment block that hasn't fallen down (thanks scientists) drinking water that won't kill me (thanks scientists)... I ponder how we come to a world that is so safe. Hmm. Must be alternative medicine.

Replacing 'thanks scientists' with 'thanks engineers' for the first three examples above would be more accurate.

And every eyebrow twitch on all of these trials was NOT covered extremely closely by the world's media.

OK, cool.

So, your cognitive biases, now? Are you self aware enough?

(I'll also add to my cognitive biases, I've seen evidence throughout my life of science, medicine, and vaccines making material differences to people's lives. While opposition to vaccination, I've seen cause death and even in one extreme case, a community saying it's acceptable to murder special needs children, because they deserve it )

You see that last paragraph is glorious in its irony and one eyed view.

The thought that humans didn't have water food safety or homes before "science". The scientists gave us internal combustion engines that apparently are now causing so much catastrophic pollution that we need to do something or die. The rivers And sees require cleaning because scientists gave us industry that is polluting it. I have no axe to grind but there is no free lunch. There are consequences for all things and that which we believe is progress... Perhaps is not always so and needs to be viewed from all angles.

I think you should give up, you'll never be smarter than the YouTube doktors lol

We've decided playing with the grown ups in Gran Canaria swinger clubs is much more enjoyable

(Strange thing is NOBODY has asked us to prove we aren't vaccinated ... Go figure )

Science has existed in one form or another for many thousands of years Plato observing that thunderbolts hit temples was a form of science - testing the claim that Zeus threw lightning to punish perjurers. Hippocrates reporting that goats with epilepsy, when their skulls are cracked open, have "evil smelling brains", is science. Would it be accepted today? No. But it's observing and reporting physical signs to reach a conclusion. (Interestingly, he observed malaria occurred in wet and warm areas - but blamed the climate rather than mosquitos)

The question I was answering was about my cognitive biases around vaccines. And yes, "science" is an overstatement of what vaccines are, but it is something that continues to operate in ways that solve problems. I never said it was perfect. I said it was better than the antivax position, which is "vaccines are bad and will do bad thing by (testable claim), whoops, testable claim didn't happen, this means we're right because (testable claim), whoops..."

If you think by "science" I mean some magic fairy tale that is never abused by those in power, never makes mistakes, is somehow immune to all the problems of the world - please give me credit for being more intelligent than a three year old with learning difficulties. I never said that, and I'm not subject to such infantile black and white thinking.

I mean collecting, testing, and interrogating observations from the natural world over time. Which includes building structures (what keeps things up, what causes them to come down - physics) and the like. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've got, and it's streaks ahead of either conspiracy mongering or "I don't know and politicians lied to me, therefore science is bad"

Oh I know, I'll never reach the qualifications of PhG with a minor in explosive liquid shits while scrolling Facebook.

Sometimes it's interesting interacting with that alternate universe though.

Not sure what all that has to do with it. Just saying that we have been eating and drinking and living for many years and had no need of science so to do. Accepting science has helped many things it surely in any balanced argument must be acknowledged that weaponising viruses, bio warfare and so many other things that kill and injure us and make the world a very unsafe place for some people are also the product of science. Just some balance to the worship
