Yes frontline staff started getting them around January but the elderly are the ones getting the boosters over here and that was around March time if my memory serves correctly

This is the most annoying point. One of the biggest factors in whether you will end up in hospital is obesity and smoking and yet for some reason this is never addressed.

Do you think that there should be restrictions on society to protect people that are unvaccinated by choice?

If you are a healthy person then you are low risk. If you are unhealthy (smoke, overweight, health condition) then you are at risk. I think a lot of people demanding the mandating of vaccines and mask wearing are in the smokers / overw

I'd love to see a teacher try and mandate correct use of masks on a bunch of 2 year olds :D

Exactly this. This is why the vaccines have been rolled out. If somebody doesn't want to wear a mask now they shouldn't have to if the vaccine has been offered to everyone in their country.

I never considered this argument. Glad this comment thread hasn't descended into silly name calling and people are actually putting their arguments forwards

I hate to be blunt but sometimes life is unpleasant, even more so now. Do you think that it's fair to demand people change their way of living because you don't want an unpleasant illness? I think it's unpleasant when people

You're stating that as if it is fact when you know it is not. I don't think we should shutdown for unvaccinated and I have never said we should. I also don't think we should shutdown for those who are "at risk" but

Ohh I see. Is that a warning or a threat? :D

Strange as vaccines were only starting to be rolled out 5 months ago and yet my country and already starting booster shots next month

I get what you're saying but we're seeing the virus spread through the vaccinated. Because the vaccinated aren't getting sick and ending up in hospital, they're spreading it to more people and the virus is mutating the w

But covid mutates and replicates in people whether they're vaccinated or not?

Interesting but until there is some real data around this personally I would rather see people who we know are at risk, elderly in poorer countries, get the vaccine over under 12s in first world countries. That's just my opinion though

Why do you need to be scared of the unvaccinated?

Are there any studies into the effects of being infected by multiple of these viruses at the same time? Or is this just what your doctor has told you? Also what do kids under 12 have to do with any of this?

Do hospitals turn away people with the flu away if they are not vaccinated? Or is it only Covid that you would impose this rule for?

Is any country with high vaccination numbers struggling for ICU beds at the minute?

Why vaccinate children under 12? The only good reason I can see is if they have some sort of known health condition. Is there any other reasons why you would do this?

What would you have us do instead? The elderly are severely at risk from the flu but we don't have winter lockdowns for them?

I hope that's the case. The question becomes though, what influences politicians in their policy making the most?

Unpopular opinion but as countries get majority vaccinated they have to learn to not be as scared of it.

Well HTTPS isn't used everywhere and governments have decided that banks need to meet an extremely strict set of rules to operate. As much as we'd like to think of the internet as the wild west, it is not.

And who decides when it's time to make the switch? Because it's not a random government. It will most likely be the us putting pressure on technology companies to switch
