I’ve just had a lovely Xmas with my son and his wife (senior pharmacist / consultant paediatrician) and both have said that vaccinations are for now, the way forward. I’ll keep listening to advice from these types

How do you know they were unvaccinated.? Children shouldnt be wearing masks under any circumstances even though I would never condone storming into any building. I would never have this vaccine in a million years, yet my wife has and I respect her choice . Since she had it though, the goal posts keep moving and she will never have a booster and feels she was forced into the decision. Many people are regretting it who I know, because the decision to get vaccinated has always been considered to be superior to the decision not to. Plus no offence a pharmacist is always going to push medicine as opposed to natural remedies as they would have no customers then.

I think you’ll find there’s masses of evidence.
The trouble is, people only read / digest the info that backs up their original thoughts and ideas.

Shhhhh, whisper it quietly...
I've already alluded to my own experiences of Covid, Long Covid and the 'worth' of vaccinations and 'boosters'
Christmas was spoiled for me because my partner had the Omnicron strain having previously had (very mild) Covid-19 a year or so ago
It was alluded that I didn't get Omicron because I recently had the 'booster' (my partner had not) and it made sense given that we had been inseparable (bathroom facilities apart) on a holiday the two weeks previous
The evidence is there for me, so I'll be guided by the scientists and medics rather than the anti-vaxxers, most of whose evidence is largely anecdotal
I don't personally know anyone who has died directly from a vaccination but several who died from not having one

I rarely post on here but logged in just to respond to a segment of the above post. As a pharmacist I just wanted you to know that a large part of our role is actually deprescribing and constantly challenging and promoting doctors to remove medicines patients don't need or are no longer clinically appropriate. I like to think, although cant speak for all pharmacist that were don't just push medicines onto patients for the sake of it.

The TRUTH is now emerging. We have NO vaccine, we have NO defense, we have a virus that we cannot control.
On the upside, even the worst variant only killed our older loved ones. 99% of the mass populous were always safe.

Chris, I always respect your view, regardless whether I agree or not with it, You are balanced with your arguments (unless the Sloth reappears and we all lose it then!).
I am not here to tell people what to do, it is an individual choice that must be made by each and every one of us.
What gets my goat is that obviously our OWN Government are trying to divide us, and fair do's they are making a good fist of it. That said, I will always respect the freedom of the individual. We don't have to agree on everything, but we do need to respect opinions that we do not hold ourselves.
For whatever reason I have not had this disease yet, but I know it's coming, it is inevitable, it is a virus, I will get it at some stage but I trust in my own immune system......and if it fails, hey ho and off I go. But I am 99% sure that when I get it I will defeat it. If I don't post again you know I was wrong!![]()

Untrue!! In fact for the WHILE uk( not just certain hospitals) 61% of ALL covid icu patients were indeed vaccinated, wheras only 34% were occupied by the unvaccinated! And furthermore 66% of ALL covid patient were taken to icu, for other illnesses, were routinely tested and found to be positive! These figures were from boxing day.
What you also miss out, is the average age of death is 83! And most with 1, 2, 3 comorbidities.
The figures in london are different, but not the uk in general.

The 10 countries who've administered the most
Austria 169 322
Italy 170 138
Belgium 172 238
Spain 174 167
Ireland 174 164
UK 179 227
Denmark 180 108
Portugal 182 115
Malta 183 80
Iceland 203 12
Sample size 700 million plus. I don't see how you can possibly come to the conclusion that the administering of vaccine is having not having a hugely significant effect on the number of deaths. In fact you could forward a quite reasonable conclude that around 2x the vaccine dose is saving around 6x the lives. So the 15k deaths ( UK ) we had in the period would have been massively higher without the vaccine.

You should really think about the facts you are trotting out.
What you have forgotten to point out is that only around 10% of the population are unvaccinated yet, even using your figures, a disproportionate amount of unvaccinated are in ICU !!

However, an unvaccinated person who gets covid and goes to hospital should be made to pay for their treatment and unless they are deemed medically excempt from having a vaccine.
If people who decide not to have the vaccine are clear in their thinking they should have no problem with this.
