kila Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 56 minutes ago, been here before said: Is it? Im not vaccinated. I dont particularly want it but if we're being coerced then I might end up biting the bullet as it were. However because Im over 40 I have to have the Astra Zenica jab. I dont want the Astra Zenica jab though. Ive tried my GP, the temporary place in the Gyle and the EICC and each place has told me the same thing in the same patronising manner, "the experts have decided....". Ill take the Pfizer or Moderna but they wont give me it. So essentially because I wont take the AZ then they wont vaccinate me. Im wandering about unvaccinated but willing to take 2 out of the 3 vaccines available. Not that much of a choice really. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/27/blood-clot-risk-greater-after-covid-infection-than-after-vaccination Have a read of that, especially the fifth paragraph.

AZ has caused no more deaths than any of the other vaccines but as it is the cheapest one and the one that is being subject to the most ridiculous lies, people who have no intelligence are shitting themselves to take it. All vaccines cause less deaths than Covid. Well there was a death just recently due to it. Lisa shaw radio presenter if am not mistaken. Of course vaccines cause death but there is many people who would rather take their chances with covid over the vaccine especially after having the virus and surviving. Take the vaccine with the risk of dying but it won’t give you immunity to the virus you just survived? Effectively going from 1 risk that is covid to 2 risks Covid and the vaccine. That is just the attitude of people I know when debating it. Right attitude or wrong I believe each to their own. Whatever limits risk I’m all for and the vaccine does that but regarding the football passport. I don’t agree if there isn’t an option for people to prove a negative test which proves they are not a risk. Me agreeing doesn’t stop it from happening though am just sharing my opinion.

I sometimes wonder if all the so called experts and intellectual giants on here actually have looked at the data and properly assessed the risks around covid. One would think the risk of death from contracting covid is 5%, not 0.05%. And yes for all the intellectual giants on here 0.05% even after catching covid.

Gards Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 You can debate this until the cows come home but based on what was announced today, if you can't prove you're vaccinated you're not getting into see Hearts. Only things that might change that is SFA/SPFL coming to some agreement with Scottish Government or them also including proof of a negative test as also being a factor for allowing entry. So given that, my main concern is how the hell are Hearts going to logistically manage this. I think the best way would be to attach vaccine status to your season ticket but i expect that will need upgrade to the ticketing system. The worst case scenario is getting entry on match day by showing your letter/app....if that's the case we better start opening the gates 3 hours before kickoff. Hearts biggest challenge is how this is implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sac Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I’m not anti vaccine but I’m not taking this one, or the booster. There are arguments for both sides rightly or wrongly but I will not be forced/bullied by Nicola Sturgeon or some other faceless politicians who think they can stop people doing the activities, pastimes or travelling that they’ve spent a lifetime engaging in. Even the scientists cannot agree on what the right approach is as it’s different country by country. It has been and still is a shit show since day one, and the propaganda from the MSM does nothing positive other than misinform and confuse people. I don’t think I’ll be the only Hearts supporter (50 + years in my case) who is against vaccine passports or QR codes that prove you’ve been vaccinated in order to gain entry to a pub, club, or fitba game.

I had both of my jabs ages ago, but I'm aware that these vaccines aren't infallible. I continue to socially-distance when I can, and to wear masks indoors in public. I go to the pub, but I still wear a mask when moving around, and I avoid busy times. I haven't managed to get to the football yet, but when I get there I will wear a mask and avoid breathing towards other folks' faces. I now see very few people still behaving as I do, and the number seems to be decreasing all the time. The thing is, some people probably look at me and assume I'm afraid of Covid-19. I'm quite the opposite actually - I've been blessed throughout my life with excellent health, and (perhaps naively) I'd fancy my chances. But it's not only about me, it's about protecting everyone. So, for anyone reading this who is for some reason against vaccines and other precautions, please bear in mind that your health has at least in part been protected by responsible people like me. Sorry I do not agree at all. Those vaccinated have made a conscious choice to be vaccinated but it does not give you a higher morality because you’ve done what the big wigs have told you. I have chosen not to be vaccinated, because I do not want to be vaccinated. Why does that make me selfish? Because I’m not deciding to put something in my body that you have? I have three friends, fit as a fiddle, all 3 double vaxed and still caught COVID. I had to self isolate for ten days as I had been a close contact. Took 3 tests and was negative every time. And yet, I still had to isolate. Doesn’t make any sense. vaccinated or not, it doesn’t stop the virus, it doesn’t stop it spreading and doesn’t stop it existing. It will be here for the long haul. And the sooner we live normally the better, we’ve been locked down and forced to live in loneliness for too long. This is now taking away freedoms from people who believe they have choices to make that are their own. to be denied access like this is creating a tiered society and if people can’t see it then it’s already begun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those vaccinated have made a conscious choice to be vaccinated but it does not give you a higher morality because you’ve done what the big wigs have told you. I have chosen not to be vaccinated, because I do not want to be vaccinated. Why does that make me selfish? Because I’m not deciding to put something in my body that you have? I have three friends, fit as a fiddle, all 3 double vaxed and still caught COVID. I had to self isolate for ten days as I had been a close contact. Took 3 tests and was negative every time. And yet, I still had to isolate. Doesn’t make any sense. vaccinated or not, it doesn’t stop the virus, it doesn’t stop it spreading and doesn’t stop it existing. It will be here for the long haul. And the sooner we live normally the better, we’ve been locked down and forced to live in loneliness for too long. This is now taking away freedoms from people who believe they have choices to make that are their own. to be denied access like this is creating a tiered society and if people can’t see it then it’s already begun 👏👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I don't want one" is reason enough. I'm sick of the attitude of 'its everybody else's responsibility to look after me and keep me safe' As long as they extend the ban to other super spreaders then I'm okay with it. Focusing solely on the unvaccinated is bollocks imo and that's as someone who is double vaccinated...not that my medial status is anyone elses business. It is other people’s business when the selfish unvaccinated people (ie - those who have been offered it but refused for any reason other than medical) can carry the virus and more likely to spread it to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unworkable. Mate are you really that fearful of covid? I don’t know what to say to you. Stay in your bedroom. young people have already wasted a year of their life to protect you. Despite being at no risk themselves. You are vaccinated, either get on with life or stay in your bedroom. Very well said . If you think he’s got it bad take a gander at the corona virus thread 🧵 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
