People on the holiday page I use are fuming. Some cancelled their holidays to this year from last and now cant go because their child has now turned 12, isnt vaccinated and now can't go.
One of them had 2 children under 12 at the time of booking. They are due to fly Tuesday but the eldest is now 12 and unvaccinated and can't fly so theyve had to cancel the holiday.
Nearly 300 comments before admin turned it off and the comments were awful absolutely awful. About how teens are super spreaders and need to all be forcibly or compulsory vaccinated, how they can live with themselves being anti vaxxers (both parents are double V) how all they have to do is get vaccinated in order to enjoy beautiful holidays abroad, how this is a stark message that if you want to leave a free life then you need to he vaccinated and plenty more nasty posts saying how it sucks to be them stuck in the UK and how they hope they enjoy the shitty weather over here etc etc.
Poor lady only asked for advice on whether it was worth moving the holiday to next year or getting full refund
Honestly, humans are generally vile.
This doesn't make much sense to me.
when the care home debacle happened the government was accused of not caring for the elderly, in fact wanting to get rid of them.
And it is true: the governments of this world would cope better with less people, due to ageing population and climate change.
Less old and ill people and overall less people would benefit them.
And if they wanted to give contracts to mates they would find something else.
The government is giving the vaccines away for free and are encouraging people to take this service up - why not charge for them if they wanted to make money from it?
they could easily charge fifty quit per shot.
I also don't think the media just wants to scare everyone, as it was reported that the new variant so far only caused mild symptoms.
And if people would be more responsible (see large demonstrations, behaviour at "freedom day", the beach photos at the first hot day last year etc) there might not be that many restrictions.
I dont go to a club right now, regardless of whether they are open or not.
But I still go to nice bars, where I and my friend have enough space to sit by ourselves. We wear masks when we walk in and out and on public transport and in cabs.
It is not a big sacrifice to make
They will charge eventually. They cannot sustain 4 (that's the current ideal) boosters a year for everyone in the UK. That's why they charge for the flu as they cant afford to give it free to everyone and so those not in vulnerable or eligible groups have to pay and why the uptake for it isnt high.
And in further to your reply which was deleted, A cold or flu can kill ME because I take a combination of anti biotics as I dont have an immune system due to losing my spleen and associated treatments. So regardless of what google tells you, I was referring to me personally when you told me I was wrong
