We all take long term medication at some point in our lives whether that be contraceptives, medication for long term illnesses even paracetamol when we have a headache. I don’t understand why people are so concerned when this has clearly gone through rigorous testing and wouldn’t be so widely encouraged if it was actually dangerous. People will happily get their annual flu jab, no questions asked, but I highly doubt they know anything about what’s in it, any ‘long term data’. They just go, get their jab and leave.
As for the government, they couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. They got it wrong, they’ve extended lockdown due to a new variant which is shite. However, why should their failings be a reason why people won’t get a vaccine? Like you refusing to get it is gonna make them go ‘oh sorry there’s your night out and your holiday to Benidorm’ it’s just crazy. I’d rather have to socially distance for a bit longer, have both my jabs and know that if I do catch it I won’t be hospitalised but each to their own you do you.
