Yep. I suspect this'll twist their arm.Now this is certainly selfish, but as soon as they twig that being vaccinated will allow them to fly to the Med in a few months, the vaccination rates will shoot up.
Nah. Timings can be way different.My daughter has been vacinnated due to medical reasons, her partner has not, I thought that if anyone in a household was jabbed then everyone else living there is??
My son is desperate for a jab.
If education is improving they should be better educated about this stuff than their parents generations.
True. This is the reason given for the fact that developing countries are clamouring for the vaccine - they know what not being vaccinated means.Unlike their grandparents and great grandparents, their parents probably never saw the worst of measles, smallpox, dysentery, cholera, etc. I imagine seeing the devastation caused by those diseases made it very easy for the elderly to rock up and get vaccinated asap.
Many younger folk have no idea what it's like to suffer from a deadly disease and think they're invulnerable.
We are not giving az to many people but please give us loads so we can keep it ina. CupboardI did a funny for the breathtaking ignorance of irony and outright shithousery being vomited in that tweet.
A desperately un-funny story, obvs.
Oh. Had my first jab on Saturday by the way.
Yeh - I felt pretty crappy the day after. Mostly better now but the arm is still sore if I knock it.Me too!
Any side effects? I didnt have any. Not yet anyway.

Yeah. I know my cousins' kids did the same. They've all been vaccinated. A nurse sent them the link.Wow.

Low level corruption in the NHS? Well, at least it's not billions being spent on tory donors.
This. We were actually advised to do so by our friend who is a GP. Failing that, people of any age can turn up at any vacination centre around 4.30-5.00pm and get a vaccine which I am sure the snowflakes will also rage at.
You got advised by your friend, not acting as a GP.
Also I'm usually on the way home at around 5pm after being exposed up to 1000 people per day.
I kinda put faith in the system to give it to the right people in the right order and not for people do so shady shit to jump the queue.
The standard imalrightjackisms of FH I guess
Friend is always a GP. That's just how GPs act.You got advised by your friend, not acting as a GP.
IF you turn up at 4:30-5pm you get the vaccines that haven't been used because asshats haven't turned up. You could see it as your civic duty to go use those supplies up.Also I'm usually on the way home at around 5pm after being exposed up to 1000 people per day.

Your "faith in the system" thing - that's just your youth talking m8
I didn't say that. Why do you always say things that aren't true?So to clarify you don't have s problem with Marc jumping the queue to get his but you do have a problem with Bodhi waiting a bit to get his? Seems a bit as bad as each other imo.
He should have waited his turn. But on the sliding scale of "crime" it's low impact. It's one more person vaccinated. I've patiently waited my turn (in the knowledge that I could jump the queue myself) - but I'm struggling to be as "outraged" by it as you are.I've come to th conclusion that opinions on this forum are based more on who someone is rather than what they've done.
Literally fraud and you're like nah np what if I claimed £10k in carer benefits instead? Cool with that?
However, as stated - waiting until 4:30-5pm at the end of the day is a good thing that prevents waste - why haven't you done that if you're so eager to get vaccinated?

I do have a problem with it - but getting vaccinated early is better than refusing when asked, like some tin-foil anti-vaxxer. - especially since tin-foil anti-vaxxers are likely to be exhibiting the "it's just the fucking flu" mindset and subsequent behaviours that go along with being that level of twat.

@Gwadien's a teacher. He finishes at 3, no?Because he has a job that means he cant?
The problem with your way of thinking is that it massively leans in favour of people with cushy work at home or office jobs where popping out early to get vaccinated is possible.
@Gwadien's a teacher. He finishes at 3, no?
I dunno about "cushy" WFH jobs. I've a mate who's definitely got one of them, he probably has three hours actual work to do a day and the rest of the time he plays Valheim - but he's a prisoner, he has to be available for his work day so can't just "pop out" - as I suspect is the case for most people.
Meh. I bet it's not *loads* of people. I'd like to see the actual stats on "queue jumpers" before I waste any more time getting outraged at @Marc
Like @Raven said - better a jab you're going to get anyway a bit early, than dodging a jab when you're asked to take it.
