Could, might, if, maybe - monitor of course, but basing policy on “what if’s” is just going to hurt more people than it helps. Looking at the current situation.

Are you sure you mean “I’ll take my chances” and not that you are content for others to do so, as we discussed your privileged situation you are barely impacted by Covid restrictions at all.
Yawn, we didn’t “discuss” anything, I just stated my personal circumstances. In regards to the statement, you could only offer uncertainty and variables for your case - chances. Therefore, face with those options, I suggested i would take those chances, as I’m sure many others would. Because, unless anyone has forgotten you have a less than 0.01% chance of dying from this, and that was before the vaccine roll out.

So my “privilege” ( you really are pathetic) has sod all to do with anything but me.

As I explained earlier to Papa portraying vaccines in such a binary fashion is unhelpful. A 10% efficacy vaccine could be described as “working” but equally barely touch the sides of the pandemic. Anything else is playing with fire.
And is that the case? A pointless statement as all the vaccines, as I understand, are all well into the 90’s ?
