[QUOTE=baggieal;39866094]Difficult one - this age group are still growing and how many of this age group have died - almost none! I know educated parents who are on the fence which includes doctors and pharmacists. Trust in the government or scientists - why should they! If oldies or those who are vulnerable and think this age group could spread Covid - then wear a mask or take your chances. It’s that simple! Going into supermarkets it’s the very old who stand on top of you and not the young ones in my experience.

Mental health issues and cancer waiting lists are going through the roof! So not an easy decision the 12-15 age group and any decision should be respected. Some say kids in the USA of this age group have become ill - are they really fit and healthy or are they totally overweight?

On the booster jab this country are talking of possibly mixing the vaccines so the booster could be different from the first two. Personal choice but I certainly won’t have a booster if offered the cheapy Oxford. I would rather take my chances.

This government change their mind like the wind - vaccine passports - scrap vaccine passports - introduce PCR tests for travel now want to look at scrapping it. It’s now the turn of the 12-15 age group to be guinea pigs so can see why many are hesitant.

What next flu jabs for youngsters FFS. In my view I can understand having the flu jab is a safety precaution for the over 50’s. That said never had flu in my life and surprise surprise it tends to be the same people who seem to get the flu and have migraines.

Fresh air works wonders! Everyone is different and I would be classed as more vulnerable than many but now I have decided to take my chances and what will be will be, know another person last week who was 39 who went to the gym every day and didn’t drink or smoke and dropped dead of a heart attack.

Funny old world. Red wine for example in moderation can prevent some cancers - fact!
