My risk of being exposed to lab rat vaccines is far greater than the risk of Covid. Our government says so...

The flu jab must be safe because nobody has died of flu during this last year, or at least I can't find any figures to say they have.
To be honest, army, I have never had a flu jab and I have never had a cold or anything similar in the past 40 years and I am a vulnerable 74 year old. Good luck or good management? I do love the fresh air.
BT, of course I am vulnerable ---I am of that age and the government classed my age group as being vulnerable ---who am I to argue against this government ruling?
army ---I do sympathise with your situation, however, I have a son who is a frontline Paramedic in London who has lost colleagues who were in their fifties, his wife is a GP who has been visiting Care Homes for years and who was a guinea pig in the vaccination programme. I have lost friends and an ex-work colleague to the virus, my other daughter-in-law had it in March last year and, as a Type 1 diabetic with just 1 kidney she suffered but was never hospitalised but was nursed back to full health by her husband and is keeping well.
I just take a philosophic view of the whole thing in that ---if you are going to get it -----you will. How you deal with things then is an unknown situation, however, lots of people have had the virus and have survived, whilst others have not.
In my SSAFA voluntary work I was speaking to a client last night who is absoluteley petrified to leave the house in case he catches the virus. He does have to go out because his mental state was such that his doctor had arranged treatment with a consultant to try to get some normality back in his life. I am unable to go and see him because of my age, SSAFA consider that I am vulnerable, so I have to do everything to try to help him on the phone, which is far from ideal.
He was a Merchant seaman who as involved in the Falklands War and my own diagnosis, from what I know from our phine contact, is that he is suffering from PTSD but he doesn't think so and has not discussed this with his GP. It's all very sad.
The main point in all of what has transpired over the past 18 months is that you have no control over whether or not you will get the virus, it is a matter of luck and. as such, there is absolutely no point in worrrying about something which may or may not happen. If it does happen, you deal with it, just as you have done and you can only hope that you can get on and live your life as you had previously.
