Will there be another lockdown?

I won't be getting the vaccine! You don't need to keep writing it at the end of your posts!

I suppose doctors can change their tune too.

Perhaps after 5 or 6 years some of them might see the other problems that this has created and change the message they give out!

No it isn't.

The only way you can administer health care to someone against their consent is under the Mental Health Act. It's section 12 I think (but am open to correction on that point).

You can't vaccinate people against their will.

Think about it practically for a second: how would it even work? Are you going to put people in prison for not getting vaccinated?

I'm vaccinated myself, and will be getting a booster if it's offered.

A high percentage of those in ICU are unvaccinated. If they had gotten their vaccine, they wouldn't be at deaths door.

Everyone should be getting vaccinated. You're rolling the dice if you don't. It's a mistake, that could be costly.

Why would you be rolling the dice?

It is of course your choice.

Serious side effects, both known or long term, unknown side effects.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I also made the same choice with the swine flu jab when I was offered it while pregnant during that pandemic.

Thanks for actually respecting that it is my choice and not just berating me 🙂

Would you not class yourself as negative?

Majority of your posts on the Covid threads are about how all restrictions will be permanent. What are you doing different to McConkey? Ironically pushing fear and doom and gloom at every turn.

Loueze, my God, the thread has moved on! We're talking long term here, mandatory vaccinations, dystopian times...keep up

BTW, what I said was that I wouldn't have a problem being locked down or that I believed most of the unvaccinated wouldn't either if there was an end date, and things would go back to normal after.

You are constantly twisting everything that I say!

Next time you want to quote what I said, please go back and take a look at what I actually said and the context in which I said it so that I don't have to keep clearing it up for you!!

That was the other thread I believe and in regards to the lockdown dates we were given and about you saying the people heard what they wanted to hear. The government know they have to give dates if they want to have compliance. I know and you know that the dates given out mean **** all but if we're talking about one group going into lockdown while the rest are allowed out to run the figures up and keep them high, then yes people are gonna need an end date!!!

Selective?????? coming from you Loueze???????????????

Anyway, I am sure that this back and forward is getting painful and annoying for others to read and it's going off topic, this is supposed to be the "will there be another lockdown" thread, not the unvaccinated bashing thread!

This is about enough covid talk for me now for a few weeks so I'm going to bow out! 😴

If us unvaccinated ever end up locked up in a prison camp until we agree to take the vaccine maybe you can get a job there as head torturer. You can get a megaphone and sit outside and shout about how selfish we all are 😂 Until then 🤗 I don't have to listen to you so I'm off 😂

Moment they hit between 150/170 mark in ICU, nightclubs, pubs, restaurants will all be shut, just watch....

Well, congratulations on the fantastic news of your imminent arrival! We had a baby during the pandemic also, and it is quite challenging at times; baby makes it all worth it though.

Vaccine hesitancy is very understandable when you're making decisions for bump. Your instinct is to avoid any risk whatsoever. It's a time that's full of excitement, but you also have a pandemic to deal with.

I think what people don't always grasp about the rollout of the vaccines is that if this goes wrong, or there are serious health side effects to it, the damage to public confidence in future vaccines (and this one of course) would be massive. Essentially, the rate of vaccinations for disease across the board would be badly effected. And if we were to have another pandemic, we'd be f*cked, because people would no longer trust vaccines, would stop taking them, and then disease would (once again) run rampant throughout the world's population. And this is before you even consider the anti-vacc movement that existed prior to Covid 19 (which you are not a part of).

Some people seem to think that 'they can saw what they want, but I have to live with the consequences'; but I suppose what I'm saying is that there's a lot at stake in all of this. Approvals for these things are not given willy nilly.

I think I read somewhere that 10% of people in ICU in Ireland are unvaccinated pregnant women with Covid 19. I don't know what the actual figure is, best I can find is a link below. I see that as a real failure on the part of public health.

Apologies (to her), I must have misunderstood.

!00% by the beginning of April everything will be in full swing because they will know in winter things will need to wind down again ,

I doubt it actually causes fewer people to take the vaccine. It will cause the anti-vax people to be more vocal. It's their day in the sun and it's everything they were hoping would happen. But I'd bet it will cause far more people to actually take the vaccine than otherwise would.

I think there will be a 2 week “circuit breaker” lockdown from next Friday, 26th November.
