O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[Andy_Faber]

Expensive to administer (billions of £'s), prone to failure and fraud, expensive for the venues to operate, a pointless idea which is expensive and frankly over the top approach to the issue.

I note that many venue managers are saying that it would be expensive and impractical to administer and given that those vaccinated would be protected by the vaccination, what's the objective and where is the evidence that it would be effective? Having exemptions seems to me counter productive, if you can't get in because you haven't had the vaccination letting in those with exemptions makes the exercise pointless.

Spend the money on education, getting the vaccine to people and improving the safeguards that actually enable life to go on. But I've no doubt that the numpties in this awful Government will see it as useful window dressing to give people false confidence and like sheep many will believe its a reasonable solution.

My approach will be simple, anywhere that demands or operates this approach won't be getting my money, simples!

I think you’ve confused (or have you conflated? That’s the latest buzzword) my personal opinion of what I’d like to see with what I think will actually happen (in an earlier post). Your comment on education has got to be the biggest joke you’ve ever told, arseholes think they know better than the educators’ and give up on this ‘getting vaccines to people’ mullarkey, there were two experts on the radio this morning who put forward the point I’ve been making that it’s no longer a question of making folk aware the vaccine is available, there are other things at play and their time would be better spent jabbing the willing than begging the unwilling.

Your last paragraph gives us all hope though

I've not confused anything and wasn't actually referring to your view, I was just giving my opinion on the subject of the thread - hint I didn't mention you or quote your post, tbh your so opaque and contradictory with what you say, and very often wrong, ( but we will leave out those obvious past mistakes of yours, wouldn't want to embarrass you again) but often fail to recognise it, that I'm not bothered.


You can produce "experts" that seem to agree with ones point of view for anything, but those experts have made three simple errors.

1. We are already jabbing the willing as fast as the availability of the vaccine will allow.

2. We can't leave a significant pool of unvaccinated people within the population, as that poses a number of risks, including the emergence of a mutation that could renders vaccines less effective.

3. We are not talking about the unwilling, rather those unable for whatever reason.

Clearly you aren't able to appreciate that others lives and world view differ from yours, thats your problem not the people we are talking about.
