Seems to be the complete opposite here. I've seen lots of people on facebook and Insta who I thought were decent people gloating that if you aren't vaccinated then you dont get to enjoy events with large crowds because you aren't being socially responsible.
Yes I’m on the same trial and in the fb group of trial participants and his information seems very ill informed, and not what ANY of us nationally have been communicated, and the risk to travel was all documented in materials and with the trial team before you signed up. All 40 odd sites are given the same information and materials. It’s very well managed and controlled.
I don’t think it’s fair to call him a liar based on his experience. His lived experience is just as valid as yours. Why would he lie about it?! He doesn’t have anything to gain by lying and I’m still not sure who it’s scaremongering to? Maybe he left the group because he’s no longer part of the trial it would be inappropriate for him to remain a member of a group about it.
As a trial participant myself I can see he’s lying about the facts and information provided to every participant. It’s not lived experience when it’s not true, he is factually lying about the process, situation and our status.I don’t think it’s fair to call him a liar based on his experience.

I disagree with you. It is his lived experience when he’s talking about his experience of being on the trial, he doesn’t gain anything whatsoever by sharing his experience so it would be bizarre for him to lie about it. He’s talking about what happened to him. Just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t make it a lie. That’s like suggesting everyone who goes to the dentist for a filling will have the same experience, similar yes but not exactly the same. We know from people sharing their experience of having the vaccines on here that everyone’s experience is different - some members report being given info leaflets and waiting 15 mins before leaving the arena, others report being asked to lift up their sleeve and given no info.
Given I am on the trial and have experienced this first hand, we all get the same information emailed in writing. It’s not about an experience, it’s a nationally managed process with strict protocols, and he is lying (and with holding) information that all participants have been provided.
I know you were on trial and you’ve had a different experience, doesn’t make him a liar. Like I said it’s not that deep, I’ll leave it at that.
I came across a comment from that article, from a person who was on the trial. They said that some of the info (from the article) was not up to date. The vaccination status did show on the app (at the start of July) and participants were told it would be.
Yes mine has been showing for ages, and as I have posted we all have a letter to use as well and an offer of PCR tests paid for (not the offer referred to in the article this is incorrect).
not up to date so quite different to lying isn’t it?
I don’t know the ins and outs of the trial like the poster above who is part of it. I just made an observation from a comment I read. (From the Daily Mail article)not up to date so quite different to lying isn’t it?

That’s frightening. Dire times we’re living in. I think it’s too early to offer it to all over 12s and even the teenagers, some doctors have been really vocal on twitter about how although they agree with vaccination for covid they don’t believe it’s safe and appropriate for all children/teenagers at this stage because for many of them it’s more risk than it is beneficial! Hope the parents don’t feel coerced into doing it (if they don’t want it).All 16 & 17-year-olds offered Covid jab in next week - & over-12s may be next
ALL 16 and 17-year-olds will be offered a Covid jab in the next week as the rollout could be extended to all over-12s. Youngsters will be given a dose of the Pfizer vaccine in a bid to build up imm…
Sending out letters to schools before the government has confirmed it is pushy. It's good for those pupils who want it that it will be available. Anyone not having it shouldn't be treated differently.
