Vaccine deaths

I’m baffled that anybody could think that 2% of the UK population dying over a short period of time would be anything but a complete catastrophe.

Firstly, it's not going to be 2% is it, it's currently 0.17%.

Secondly, the vast majority of those would have died from something else pretty soon anyway so don't pretend it's the black death, killing everybody equally.

Also, if you think climate change needs tackling then population is the number one contributor to that.

Weak minded people, submitting to arbitrary rules, imposed by an inept government. That's all this is.

We will be a full authoritarian state like China and you'll all still be telling people like me it's for the best and to shut up and comply.

Why not run for office then if you're our saviour.. instead of bleating absolute nonsense from afar?

It's crazy that you're advocating that the government can restrict our lives to this degree, unchecked, to try to save a tiny % of people from the inevitable.

I think it's crazy that you've advocated on this thread that it's perfectly reasonable to allow over a million people in the UK to die from this disease ... plus allow hundreds of thousands of others suffer, because there wouldn't have been enough ventilators or medical support to treat them.
Not to mention those recovering may suffer ongoing issues from long Covid.

Add to all this the impact on the 'healthy' population of losing so many - as I'm sure they're not all as selfish and heartless as you.

Wonder what you would do if you were working in a Covid ward having to decide who gets a ventilator.

But as long as you're alright jack, sitting comfortably behind your computer spouting utter drivel.

Do you understand what would happen to healthcare systems if that amount of people died over a short period of time?

There would be no healthcare system.

It's not a case of I'm alright Jack. I can't work from home in my pyjamas so I've been at risk from this killer virus this entire time. And obviously I care about my family and feel bad for anyone who loses someone to covid. But see the bigger picture - we need a holistic approach, not lockdowns which lower the death rate temporarily, until the next wave.

The long term effects of lockdown will be felt for decades. And you'll all complain about them and act as if you didn't foam at the mouth telling people to comply like the line-towing weeds you are.

Funny how you never hear about 'long SARS' - long covid is an invention. Every time there's the chance of lockdown being lifted for good, there's 'but long covid', 'but mutant variants!!', 'but you need a vaccine first', 'but now there's more new strains!' - come on people, wake up, we'll be in lockdown for a while yet.

And the hallmark of pro-lockdowners is calling skeptics 'selfish', 'heartless', "murderers' etc. When lockdowns ruin the lives of tens of millions, not just 100k care home residents. You're the truly selfish, heartless ones. You've been duped by an inept government and you're towing their arbitrary line.

"lockdowns ruin the lives of tens of millions, not just 100k care home residents."

You really are obtuse, it's like any facts, figures, evidence, and reality of the situation fly right over your head.

Pointless debate, I'll leave you to it.

Also, the expression you have been butchering is 'toe the line' not 'tow the line' ... you would have learned that at school (or from reading a book) rather than relying on social media for education!

Tbf tow the line does at least make sense visually, you are towing the line . I actually read a lot, it's a genuine mistake, doesn't mean anything more than that.

I also barely use social media. But that doesn't fit your stereotyping so forget it.

Enjoy being a subservient little wimp

But it's just people near the end of their natural lives that are in ITUs and dying..
