Vaccine passports

[Im-a-Ridah]

Vaccine passports could end up being the latest example of the selfishness of the baby boomer. Through 2020 younger people were asked to sacrifice having a quality time, basically to just stay at home and avoid socialising to keep older people from dying. It would be incredibly selfish and unfair for those older people in the higher risk groups over 50, newly vaccinated to jet off to Spain or go to the Pub while those who sacrificed so much so save their lives are denied the same opportunities. But this is very much the attitude of many boomers, but hopefully a minority.

Actually all baby boomers would need to be minimum 70 years old now.

Nobody ever said nobody wouldn't die, that would be an obvious untruth. Without the lockdowns the trend lines clearly show that the deaths would have been massively higher during the spring, auitumn and winter peirods than they actually were. By your logic of live fast die young we should encourage people to get high and drunk and drive as fast as possible because "they will die anyway" :lol:

Well it would certainly clean the gene pool of stupid people :wink:

But we don't know how many people the virus itself has killed, because of the daft way deaths are totalled up. Have you noticed that nobody has died of flu lately? Why on Earth would they include flu deaths in the covid total?

Anyone who dies "within 28 days of being tested positive." What kind of ridiculous way to categorise is that?

Flu vaccination take was up in 2020, and school year 7 (11-12 year old super-spreaders) were vaccinated for the first time too.

Not sure if discussed here or other thread etc.
If the current lock-down doesnt curb the trend in infection rates what's the next move going to be?

Should we then Euthanize those most at risk before they test positive in order to prevent the disease spreading from vulnerable to vulnerable whilst gaining the ability to infect and harm the less vulnerable.

I think the term is Cull.

I'm thinking that what Covid-19 exposes is a lack of redundancy in various systems: the NHS may have been running very efficiently pre-2020 but throw it a curveball and it'll fall over with the first gust of wind*

Also highlighted is what we think of as "essential." Food & Booze - essential, not clogging up the NHS - essential, sacrificing the young for the old - essential. Not essential: hairdressers, tattoo artists, hotels, restaurants, pubs, holidays abroad.... mental health, cancer treatments err... social unity being the least essential thing apparently

*Wow, how many metaphors can we mix!

[quote=“chickenstrip”]I just question whether the government has done much to protect anyone. I would suggest that most people have done what they can to protect themselves thus far.[/quote]

By following government advice.

(Is it my new iPad or am I doing something wrong wrt quotes lately?)

Btw Jimbo, when I quoted you quoting me, it didn't work properly, but I noticed your quote marks looked a bit different. Changed them out and it worked fine. So something to do with that.
