I'd say no. Also consider the ancestry of the population of Israel. It is one that actually increases the risk for something genetic being triggered.

Enzo Chiefo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I would hope that, today, with what has happened at the Euros that Covid can be given a contextualised downgrade to the minimal threat level that it presents, to a minority of the population.

While the left wing dafties that have poisoned university and academic life for decades will still not accept that there ARE bad people, everyone is NOT equal and you CAN offend others without closing down debate. As for communism, well, anyone who thinks that, despite the decades of real life evidence, it's credible, really is a lost cause.

It doesn't evolve into one thing, there's thousands of variants been identified already, with only the more significant ones making the news. Millions and millions of generations with slight mutations all the way make it increasingly likely that at some point there'll be a virus that vaccinations don't protect against and/or is much more deadly.

Enzo Chiefo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Odds of catching Covid unvaccinated...1 in 2225. After 1 dose...1 in 7500. After 2 doses ...1 in 22500. Even if you catch it, it doesn't affect the vast, vast majority of people in any way. Do we pull up the duvet and hide for the rest of our lives, just to "staaaay safe" or live?

JimmyCant Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Having been very compliant for over a year and often been dismayed at those who just flat out refused to comply, I’m now of the view that there is no longer any justification or basis or benefit in continuing any form of restriction in this country. This includes people who have had double dose vaccinations being allowed to travel freely anywhere they want and for any reason they want.
