...anyone any advice for careful socialising?

[burlyshirley]

O God here we go again, the self righteous having a pop at those of us who have a different viewpoint and refuse to live in fear and ! They of course, are ALWAYS right and we have to put up with their patronising little comments again and again because they know everything and we know nothing !! None of you make a difference to me and how I live my life, nor will you ever, but carry on if it makes you feel so smug and self righteous and helps you sleep at night.

What WILL you do when you no longer have a covid thread to preach on ??

//No bobbin, make up whatever figures you like to "correct" someone else. //
I will happily recalculate it with whatever figures you can provide pixie, as I know it will show nothing like the ridiculous 99.997% figure. Quibbling over minor details is meaningless when its just a nonsense made up figure which is actually dangerous if people believe it and think covid wont affect them

[Mamyalynne]

Who are you calling clowns MONEILL45 ?

Stop using block caps unnecessarily.

[bobbinwales]

Whats smug about pointing out that someones figures are ridiculous nonsense

[choux]

nailit, let me make it crystal clear. I do respect your view on Covid and you have done well to work and carry on your life as you have. I wish you well.

[gness]

Those who are living their lives as they’ve always done with nothing and nobody making a difference to them must have strange lives going by their constant little hissy fits and love of capital letters. :-)

If I had the figures, I would just do it myself, bobbin. Just saying that truth, honesty, accuracy are important... particularly if you are only giving one side, and not acknowledging any risks. If you have, and have a link, I will apologise, I have only seen you giving one side, that I remember.
I admire your massive sense of responsibility, of people you may kill, by not mentioning risks... but smug and patronising, do seem to be apt, when you are trying to persuade other adults what they should do.... who probably have the same information you do?

// Personally,
Just dont want to risk my life, myocarditis, clots, neurological damage etc.

well get vaccinated then! - - ter daaah !

13 deaths in a billion doses of vacca
or 150 000 deaths in 11 million

I know which I go for - its a no brainer even for those who dont have a br....

// let me make it crystal clear. I do respect your view on Covid //
god I dont
I think it is crap - perhaps I havent made that clear....

[pixie374]

PP, that's dangerous advice for a lot of people. Khandro had a stroke due to vaccine, I have one with really severe angi na attacks... probably leading to a heart attack... since just one.
Please, if you advocate vaccines, give the risks as well.

Numbnuts....
I havnt have I?
Obviously..or at least for the past 2 years of everybody hiding away.

[nailit]

Peter, get vaccinated and then we will compare results...

[nailit]

See who dies/gets sick first....

[choux]

Peter, nailit is entitled to his view, I don't have to agree with him but I can see that no argument posted on AB is going to change his mind.

Maybe, he gets some enjoyment from it?

[ToraToraTora]

remember MMR in the 90s? Some quack mentions autism so parents go and buy individual vaccines from some geezer down the battle cruiser! What's more risky? MMR or injecting your own saucepans with gawd knows what from some geezer in the pub carpark?! Radio rental!

[ToraToraTora]

pixie: "Maybe, he gets some enjoyment from it? " - yeah but it's got to more risky that a vaccine developed for the purpose ...etc

[pixie374]

That was when mine had MMR, ttt. And I remember asking the nurse, who was clearly ready to give the facts.
Shame thalidomide took a while though.

How do I socialise? With gusto.
