Which proves to me the "rules" were a complete compliance excercise. Don't exactly look scared for their lives do they?

Makes me wonder why this has come out now. Distraction from something else?

It was all bollocks. Vaccination doesn’t prevent transmission. Why are excess deaths still so high?

Someone has always got some political scandal on the back burner to use.

Climate change is another one. Nobody is denying it’s happening but it’s not down to you and me driving a car and eating beef. It’s a natural occurrence of the Earth’s subtle shift in orbit according to NASA. But that gets no airtime.

Just like Covid it’s all about putting fear into the population to gain control.

He's straying into batshit crazy conspiracy theory bollocks to be honest. Everything he's posted about covid in the last couple of days has been nonsense and now this. As someone seconded into our local covid response team a few days a week, and someone who has seen a couple of colleagues die from it over the last couple of years I struggle not to just batter those that come out with this shit when they do it in my company.

Fuck sake, I’m not saying nobody died of Covid, I’m saying the line pushed that vaccination prevents transmission is a total crock.

Just like Covid it’s all about putting fear into the population to gain control.

To counter that (and I don't know enough about science to comment authoritatively either way) I have got a close mate who works in climate change resilience for a major urban authority up here who works with scientists who do know what they are talking about, and yes we can do something about it but we are choosing not to and he is absolutely shitting it about what's coming over the hill (or should I say coming over the beach) in the comparatively short term unless we do something about it, now possibly won't affect me, but will undoubtedly affect my daughters generation!

Plus the things people are being asked to consider have the potential to make the environment we all live in a nicer place to live with less shit in the air, less shit in the water and less congestion on the roads, so even if its a hoax (which it fucking isn't) why not try and leave the planet we need to survive in a better state than when we first encountered it?

What I don't get is what behaviour you would change as a result - even taking that to be true (I'm sure somebody will want to argue with it, but I can't be arsed) the vaccine demonstrably makes infections less severe and people - especially older folk - significantly less likely to die or have serious, life altering complications.

So you'd want everyone (or as many as possible) to be vaccinated anyway, no?

It just feels like you've dived into conspiracy theory internet world without really thinking critically about what you're reading, and emerged confidently stating at best disputed points as if they were gospel fact.

I see this quoted a lot, so I must be in the minority but I’m sure they (the medical experts not the fucking useless government) said at the time of the rollout that the vaccine slightly reduced the transmission but the real benefit was that it reduced the symptoms & outcomes for the majority when you caught it

That's it, it reduced the chances of it killing you, it didn't stop you getting it nor passing it on.
