Interesting, Chris. "Offered" and "armed with" put quite a different spin on what is proposed.

[bednobs]

your "what" is a question then. Are you hoping for some clarification because you can't read properly?
According to the article you need explaining then, there is a government plan to send teams out to people's houses to administer covid vaccines.
Hope this helps you?

goodgoalie Roy - don't you think

Clearly not
You only have to look at his posts on similar threads to come to that conclusion

//Mine was addressed as a question, Mozz but somehow you find a difference//

Yes, and finished with "Lord help us" which would indicate that the question was rhetorical and you'd already decided on the answer.

//....what is wrong with you?//

Says the person who appears to have started this thread so they could start an argument.

As I asked before, why do you think home visits will infringe on someone's right to decide for themselves?

[Bazile]

I suppose it's like having you pizza delivered , instead of going to the shop

[sunny-dave]

I'm also intrigued by the different words used in the Daily Fail stories - "Offered" is so *very* different to "Armed With" ...

... could this 'newspaper' have some sort of agenda here, or is this just standard shtstirrring?

I know a few people who refuse to be vaccinated and I doubt a knock at the door will change that.

There is no point in trying to persuade them. One of my mates said that her brother couldn't spend Christmas day with her as he and his family had covid despite having been triple jabbed. I tried to explain that vaccinated people can still get covid but they are less likely to end up in hospital than those vaccinated. She then sent me a video of Matt Le Tissier warbling on about some vaccine conspiracy. I watched 5 minutes and got bored.

er, I can only argue if people like yourself join the thread...doh!
If you didn't want to argue why have you joined the thread?

Anyway I'm of to the pub and enjoy a few beverages without judging, scowling at, having a secret loathing for the people around me.

Merry Christmas to the vaxxed and unvaxxed alike.

[royfromaus]

Just for being sensible, Tiggs.

Their loss is our gain.

[Kardashev]

good idea.

[Spicerack]

Let's hope they don't weld our doors shut like the Chinese did.

Enjoy your pint, Roy....be safe... :-)

//Wow! Isn't that great! If, for some reason, you can't get to a centre you'll have people come to your house to do it.//

No it isn’t great. Those who genuinely cannot get to a vaccination venue should have been identified by their GPs long ago and arrangements made for them. Of the 5m (or whatever the true number is) who remain unvaccinated I imagine 4.999m of them are in that position out of choice and are likely to remain that way. It will give some of them even more ammunition: “D’ya know what? They even sent someone round my ‘ouse trying to cajole me into having an experimental drug/a Bill Gates microchip/a placebo/a mind altering drug to make me compliant [delete as appropriate].”

It is estimated that around a third of people living in London have had no vaccination. The actual numbers vary considerably (not least because nobody knows, even roughly, just how many people live in London). But whatever the real number is, it is a sizeable amount and probably the highest proportion of any major area in the country. Yet in London, vaccination centres are plentiful and transport facilities, in the main, excellent. It’s doubtful if there are many people in London who could not make some arrangements if they wanted to. The plain fact is that, for various reasons (or none at all) they just don’t want to.

I am led to believe that the NHS is short of money/staff/other resources/whatever. They should not be spending what they do have visiting the houses of people who have no intention of taking the vaccine. At present 90% of the population faces yet more restrictions on their lawful activities largely as a result of 10% of the population refusing to get vaccinated. That 90% has managed to get two or even three jabs. What the government should be working on are ways to ensure that the only people disadvantaged by those who refuse vaccination are those people themselves. They should not be making home visits to perfectly fit and well people. My neighbour could not get a home visit to attend to her drug adjustments used to treat her major heart problem. In fact she had to wait four days to speak to a doctor at all. This plan needs a rethink.

[gness]

As usual you ignored something, NJ...I said not official here. Our GP with help from others did identify those who may have had difficulty and made his arrangement for them. Now that is great.
You may be a tad slower than us in the UK with this....but great that it will be done.

[dave50]

There should be no more measures of any description in order to protect the unvaccinated . They should be left to fend for themselves.

[ichkeria]

I think a lot of folk who haven’t seen vaccinated are simply ones who can’t be a****d.
And there are probably more scared of needles than care to admit it. Less embarrassing to bang on about personal choice instead

[gness]

Think you're spot on, Ich. Story of the mum of a few children who said she would get vaccinated when she had more time....and then her regrets from the hospital where she died....so sad.

[sunny-dave]

In a harsh world, the knock at the door of the unvaccinated would offer two choices (with obvious exceptions for those who were unable to be jabbed for real medical reasons) :

1. Have the jab
or
2. Sign this form waiving the right to any/all NHS treatment when you get Covid.

That would be quite wrong and unacceptable ... but I bet a good few people would quietly agree with such a policy.

the good news is that all the military folk hauled out of Afghanistan can now be redeployed as armed guards for the NHS vaccinators as they go door to door. Win win.
