so the fact that only 2 kids in 1 million are likely to die from COVID. What bit of that fact don’t you understand? And what is the link between lockdown and that figure as there is no causation between them. It is based on cases, regardless of lockdown.

Somewhat ironic from the man who thinks everyone on furlough is sitting watching Jeremy Kyle.

A sweeping generalisation based on my mental projection of you. If you don’t watch Jeremy Kyle, I apologise.

Yet here you are with nothing better to do of a Friday evening that haphazardly jump into the Coronavirus thread, make spurious claims you can’t back up the double down on them.

I really don’t know if you’re being super ironic, or ………………

If not, you should find an open mic spot because you’re hilarious.

If we can’t vaccinate everyone

well, back on topic, well done. The whole point of this discussion is we don’t need to vaccinate “everyone”

in a reasonable timescale then we are resigned to new variants, new boosters boosters or vaccines? I know you were confused recently Until manufacturing is at 8 billion doses a year, with associated distribution chains it will be woefully inadequate.

indeed, and until we hit level, if indeed we ever do, we should focus on vaccinating those that actually need it.

Pretending we can just send 26 million doses to Rwanda and they’d have the infrastructure to safely store and distribute the Pfizer vaccine is folly. All those AstraZeneca vaccines on the other hand...

the point is, it can go elsewhere than the U.K.

Unless you have a U.K. first agenda, which is a bit Trumpian. Unexpected even for you.

The studies are not unequivocal in any way, shape or form.

Yes, yes they are. You are, of course, free to post any study that proves healthy
Kids, under 18’s are at risk of death of COVID.

I’m sure the western world would immediately take note, you could make a name for yourself.

Nor is it an attempt at a gotcha,

. If it walks like a duck.

it’s just sorry to see how you’ve slipped from a reasonably considered post into fundamentally anti-vax nonsense. For no real purpose whatsoever.

Well the whole point was that it wasn’t anti-vax…………the opposite in fact .but hey I’m sure everyone else will understand.

That said, it’s undoubtedly a positive that your own kids are vaccinated. I don’t see what’s problematic about extending that right to other parents.

My kids are vaccinated against MMR and others. They were not vaccinated from chickenpox. Because one set can cause major issues and the other is just a mild illness but can cause scarring. If it was proven to be a fundamental necessity for the health of my child to be vaccinated from Covid, i wouldn’t hesitate. That has not been proven.
