There's plans for a level -1

Erm,I think they build up immunity by being vaccinated......

If that is the case how come schoolchildren back in the 1950’s and 60’s only contracted measles, mumps and chicken pox once. They were not vaccinated against measles, mumps and chicken pox back then and built up their own immunity to these diseases.
Nowadays kids are wrapped up in cotton wool by their parents and as soon as they get home from primary school get on their iPlayer or iPad.
When I got home from primary school my friends and I used to go and play football on Fairmuir Park unless it was getting dark outside.

And your point is?

You either catch a disease,or get vaccinated,then you have immunity either way

So when I go abroad and my doctor tells me ineed to be vaccinated for something,are you saying I should go kick a ball about fairmuir park instead?

Dread to think what you did in the dark.

Vaccination was the medical equivalent,for a child, of catching and recovering from the disease. I don't understand why vaccination isn't being taken up by the younger generation. It seems to me that the political leaders have tried to manipulate the public because they did not have the strength of character to say health service employees first then old and vulnerable then middle aged then youngsters. Everyone should be vaccinated but somehow in these days it seems that civil rights come into the discussion in a way that just did not happen in the 1950's and early 1960's. Public protest, civil rights movements and anti Vietnam War, student protests in Paris. Things just changed as moral authority leaked away from all political systems.

People who require to be vaccinated prior to going abroad on holiday are normally going to third world countries where diseases such as yellow fever and malaria are still rife.
People do not need to be vaccinated for Yellow fever and malaria to go on holiday to the Spanish holiday resorts.

I am surprised that the younger generation have not been clamouring to get vaccinated especially as this is likely to be the only way that night clubs will be allowed to reopen.

So do I get the vaccination or just play football at fairmuir??

How long does playing at fairmuir protect me from these third world diseases? Where would I need to play football to protect me from idiotic views?

That last question is rhetorical,you clearly wouldn't know

Not sure that everyone of 'the younger generation' go to nightclubs.

Do you have any views or opinions on anything, anything at all, that are not bigoted or stereotypical?
