Are you trying to get banned? Insulting the most reasonable and reasoning modmin on here suggests that you are.
I'd suggest winding your neck in.

You want to stop people without the vaccine to not be able to live life normally?
Maybe we should mark those who havent had the vaccine with something so that the likes of yourself and others can cross the road when they see them coming?
My point about the studies was in regard to the rate of transmission, for every study that shows the rate of transmission slows with vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated the opposite can be found.
Im probably in a minority here but every time I hear a player is unvaccinated I lose all respect for them.
Yep. NBA did it and it worked. NFL makes players life very difficult if they aren't. Football needs to follow.Agreed. The clubs and the PL should say no jab no play. Sorted.
Feel exactly the same.Im probably in a minority here but every time I hear a player is unvaccinated I lose all respect for them.
Common sense, really.NBA refused to let players who are not vaccinated play. There was a Canadian player who asked for exemption and was refused. Now he has got his vaccination.
That's what the FA should do. No vaccination, not playing.
No one has ever said that it works 100%, in fact, they have explicitly said that it does not. If a vaccine has a 95% rate against serious cases of covid, it also means that it has a 5% failure against those cases. Why is so hard to understand this?Ive got a limited understanding for sure, but the way it was told to them (and me when I got mine) this vaccine means you wont get severely ill and theres less risk of passing it on. The friend of the family just proved both cases to be lies
Maybe lies is the wrong term to use, false would have been better.
No one can say this vaccine (not doctors, not scientists, no one) is 100% effective, maybe thats why people dont want to risk taking it is all im saying
Literally nobody was told that the vaccine guaranteed that everyone who took it could not possibly ever a) catch covid or b) die from covid. If that’s the impression you got then you’re seriously misunderstanding the way these things work. Vaccines aren’t magical potions. They’re medicines, which inevitably work better in some people then others. The point of being vaccinated is to reduce the chance of being infected and to reduce the chance of being made seriously unwell. That was always the goal and there’s an absolute shit-load of evidence out there to prove that they have achieved this goal.
Your anecdote about your family friend’s death is tragic but about as relevant to the importance of vaccines as knowing someone who died in a car crash despite wearing a seat-belt. If someone told you that was a reason to never wear a seat-belt again you’d laugh at them. So why are you trying to convince us that knowing one person who died despite being vaccinated is justification for not taking it?
What right does anyone have to force someone to take something they dont want to?
Because public safety > individual whim. It’s that kinda argument that woulda let Typhoid Mary keep killing people.What right does anyone have to force someone to take something they dont want to?

What right does anyone have to expose others to the consequences of their own irresponsible behaviour?
There are laws against public endangerment. This is no different.
100%. They want to avoid the thing made that is best equipped to fight this? Then you don't have a right to put a strain on the Healthcare system when you need your life saved.For a start, I would love to see the insurance not covering the cost of covid treatment if you refuse to get the vaccine. Pay tens of thousands of dollars if you want to tel your ignorant friends how enlightened you are

Kind of you to say so
wtf is "vaccine injury"?Let people do their own risk assessments and stop condemning them, I don’t think the vaccine is a one size fits all, A tennis player just ended his season suffering from a vaccine injury. People know their bodies, give them space to make their choices.
Being a bit harsh on @golden_blunder there

Exactly. And most countries require all kinds of vaccinations before kids can be enrolled in schools. Vaccinations for things like Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, Diphteria, Tetanus etc. have been required for decades. This is not anything new.Because public safety > individual whim. It’s that kinda argument that woulda let Typhoid Mary keep killing people.
No. People know their bodies is bullshit BTW. And people are even worse at assessing risk.
Vaccination isn't just an individual risk so shouldn't be a purely individual choice.
As it stands - vaccines are not effective in preventing symptomatic disease.
Vaccines have caused numerous side effects.
Not to mention the actual Some people have died.
Myocarditis is serious especially for athletes.
Vaccines have not stopped transmission of the virus.
So footballers should be free to make their own decisions according to their risk benefit analysis.
Assuming all these numbers are correct - which I don't know if they are. So if anyone has proper sources for those, feel free to post.
But under those numbers: If more than 80% of Israels population is vaccinated and around 85% of hospitalised people are of the group of vaccinated - doesn't that mean the vaccine doesn't provide any protection from being hospitalised?
In real-life Israel, as of Aug. 15 — using Morris’s summary of official data — 301 fully vaccinated people had an illness severe enough to require hospitalization. They represented just 53 out of every million fully vaccinated Israelis. At the same time, 214 hospitalized people were not vaccinated.
it's an interesting debateExactly. And most countries require all kinds of vaccinations before kids can be enrolled in schools. Vaccinations for things like Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, Diphteria, Tetanus etc. have been required for decades. This is not anything new.
The "don't force me to get vaxed" bullshit is ridiculous. Also, nobody is forcing you to take a vaccine, but you can absolutely be denied privileges like attending school, flying, attending a game and other participatory activities where you would be a danger to the society. Tough luck, have your freedom of being unreasonable if you want to be secluded to your cave, but if you want to be part of a society - act responsibly. This is very simple
it's an interesting debate
Im double jabbed and my wife is too
She had a really poor reaction. Anaphylaxis with both doses ( the second time in ICU). Since it she has developed an allergy to an element called PEG. A thickening agent in all sorts of products and not always well labelled. She needed 4 epipens about a month ago after another reaction where under unluckier circumstances she could have died.
In her discussions with consultants etc its clear they really aren't sure about the vaccine. There was gap of 6 months between doses as they tried and failed to sort things to no success.
The vaccine will impact a small amount of people this way at minimum but nevertheless I think its ignorant to deny people their rights based on it.
I certainly won't be rushing to get my kids vaccinated based on my wife's experience.
This is far from a simple issue and your view is too simplistic

Hey!Being a bit harsh on @golden_blunder there
Nobody is saying you will be physically forced but part of government's job is to encourage or discourage various behaviours with rules, laws and regulations with non-compliance having consequences.
"I don't want to wash my hands or comply with basic hygiene laws at my café. You can't make me if I don't want to. You aren't the boss of me."
"I'm a great driver Officer so I don't need to wear a seat belt or comply with the speed limits"
"I don't want to have my eyes tested before you renew my driving licence. It an infringement of my rights"
"What do you mean that I need a certified medical certificate from a specialist before I can be a Dive Instructor. It's none of your business if I have an undiagnosed heart, lung or ear condition that might kill me and my pupils underwater".
What do you think might happen in all of these situations and always has?
I notice lefty conveniently ducked out after this great post.
A very common trend in this thread, poor old @MayosNoun has disappeared off the face of the earth after having his argument torn to shreds by half the forum. Probably why it's so easy to talk shite on the internet, you don't have to say anything back once someone dismantles your point.I notice lefty conveniently ducked out after this great post.
Yes PEG is the issue but it wasn't an issue before the vaccine. My wife has never had an issue with medicines/elements that contain PEG.People are anaphylactic to all sorts of things. Me included. You just avoid what makes you need the Epipen and/or try immunotherapy (I did and it hurts) and that is life. PEG is widely used in pharmaceuticals so it sounds like that is the issue/allergy.
As there is a chance between 0 and 50% (75% if you are both allergic to PEG) that your kids will have inherited this allergy (the literature seems to be entirely unclear at the moment other than it can be genetically inherited in some cases), and if so they may become anaphylactic when taking a vaccine. So I'd seek specialist advice before deciding. They should be able to test if your kids have the enzymes that would prevent an allergic reaction (I think but I'm no expert).
However, that is very different from someone deciding not to take a vaccine because a miniscule percentage of unrelated people have a reaction. You are talking about a potential genuine very serious medical reason not to vaccinate. If there were penalties for not vaccinating I can't see how you wouldn't be able to get a medical exemption if the specialist certified your kids were at risk. The chances are that they have already had PEG in childhood vaccination BTW but still worth checking with a specialist as allergies can escalate.
Maybe you haven't read my post properly but my wife has developed a condition since taking both doses of the vaccine.Sorry to hear about your wife, but your argument is bullshit. Anaphylaxis is a known risk of the vaccine, which is why they make you wait for 20 minutes after a jab and have epiphens ready to go. It is also extremely rare.
You know what is not rare? Millions of people dead from COVID.
You cannot be denied a right that you don't have. Nobody will break down your doors to vaccinate you but if you don't then you will be denied some things as a result, such as your kids may need to be homeschooled if you don't vaccinate them. Same as they would not be let into school
if you didnt give them Polio shot. Nothing new here
Yes PEG is the issue but it wasn't an issue before the vaccine. My wife has never had an issue with medicines/elements that contain PEG.
She was allergic to Kiwi fruit. I'm hoping the new condition eases as the time since her last jab lengthens. This obviously is a completely different situation to someone choosing for no reason but if you are going to discriminate based on vaccines its important that people who do have life threatening reactions are identified and exceptions should be made. I was making a point based on the idea that anyone who doesn't want to get vaccinated should all be lumped together when some have genuine legitimate reasons.
Maybe you haven't read my post properly but my wife has developed a condition since taking both doses of the vaccine.
She had anaphylactic reactions when she had both doses but subsequently had developed a new condition, has had to get a bracelet etc.... I am hoping that this new condition is temporary based on duration of time since last jab and eases.
We are both pro-vaccine but obviously my wife won't be going for a booster any time soon and understandably so if it is putting her life in danger doing so.
This could change down the line as the vaccine is perhaps improved/refined for the small number of issues that people have experienced.
To refer to your original point, your idea that people in this situation, with genuine life threatening side effects months after the jab should be treated the same as a person who just doesn't want the vaccine is bullshit to use your colourful language. Your lack of empathy is staggering.
