Why wouldn't you? In fact I have volunteered for the COVID-19 vaccine trials that Imperial College are running in partnership with Oxford University. I'm doing it because I think it's important that we all do our part to beat this virus. The vaccine is the one that has been developed in Russia. I received my first dose this morning 06:20 am, and I wanted to let you all know that it’s completely safe, with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι я чувю себя немного стрно и я думю, что вытл осные уши. чувству себя немго страо

QuoteNot cancelling, but one post and the reply quoting it have been removed. Please keep this civil and on topic.Yes, I noticed my perfectly civil post was deleted.This is a political thread. It is conspiracy theory nonsense. Fazersharp complains that the government has spread propaganda in order to scare the population.Is it propaganda that almost 50,000 people have died so far during this pandemic? Is it propaganda that our country had to be placed in lockdown in order to protect our health services from collapse and in turn prevent many more 10,000’s Covid deaths? Is it propaganda that 10,000’s of people are suffering long term effects post Covid? Is it propaganda that many are struggling, and indeed a fair number have died patiently waiting for routine treatement that our NHS stuggles to provide becuase it is dealing with the pandemic.I also take great exception to Covid19 and this alleged propaganda being compared to climate change and “"climate denier”. Man made climate change is a fact. Covid19 is a fact. This thread is an insult to us all.The idea of people being forced to take allegedly dangerous vaccines and/or excluded from society if they choose not to are nasty and downright dangerous fake news conspiracy stories.Such dangerous and clearly political, and the very worst sort of politics, should not be entertained on foc u.I will message this to you Grahamn, so that if you choose to delet my post a record of it will remain. This thread should be locked or deleted.
A new report by the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has lambasted social media companies for allowing the anti-vaccine movement to remain on their platforms. The report's authors noted that social media accounts held by so-called anti-vaxxers have increased their following by at least 7·8 million people since 2019. “The decision to continue hosting known misinformation content and actors left online anti-vaxxers ready to pounce on the opportunity presented by coronavirus”, stated the report. The CCDH warned that the growing anti-vaccine movement could undermine the roll-out of any future vaccine against COVID-19.
What you are doing is dangerous Fazersharp, and it is wrong.The spread of this miss-information has the ability to cost lives.

Happy to remove the word propaganda for you if you do not like it, but it perfectly describes what was done and needed for the UK to take the virus seriously.Here is the definition of the word Propaganda Propaganda is communication that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented.[1]
Joking aside..... of course I'll be having the vaccine. I trust scientists far more than conspiracy theorists, and even more than politicians.
I wonder how many of those that do not want the vaccine will change their mind if £50 is flashed in front of them.
Quote I wonder how many of those that do not want the vaccine will change their mind if £50 is flashed in front of them. I doubt very much that will happen. The vast majority of people will be desperate for it. Jonathan Van Tamm said he would be first in the queue, if he could.
I think he said he first wanted to test it out on his mum
Quote I think he said he first wanted to test it out on his mum Yes said that only because he knew he wouldn't be first in the queue. But his 78 year old mum would be. Somebody on the news suggested Bozo should be first
Probably this vaccine will be similar to the so called flu vaccine, which only works 35% to 40% of the time,
