Chill turbo. I call it Wuhan flu (or Kung flu or China flu) not him (but you knew that really). Why? Because I can
Do what you've gotta champ, zero shits given on my part

I'm sure he's happy to see you misrepresent his views. And since you've done that once, who knows what they actually are, based on your representation...

Do you actually have a "doctor friend", Amazulu?

Got a call offering me the AZ, accepted happily, will get the second next month. Had absolutely no side effects at all. The husband had his first AZ last week and felt a little fluey for a couple of days but nothing worth talking about - other than saying he felt a bit off. My eldest daughter - 28 - had her first AZ in the UK a couple of months ago, just before they decided her age group shouldn't have it. However whereas everyone was getting a choice of Pfizer or AZ, she had to have the AZ because of her Epilepsy. She said she felt like crap and was laid out for four days but bearing in mind she's the only neurotic member of my entire family, I kind of took that with a pinch of salt. The risk of clotting is minimal in the grand scheme of things.

The number of idiotic people about saying they'd rather take their chance with COVID rather than having a simple jab seriously pisses me off. One colleague has a daughter in the US and is adamant she's not having any 'poison' put in her. So presumably she's happy not seeing her daughter any time soon.

What is crazy (amongst a lot of things this government have done) is that my UK nephew managed to get a trip over here to see his son. He's had both doses and tested negative prior to flying over. He was then in quarantine for a fortnight once here. Why on earth did he need a fortnight? Surely a negative test three days in would have been enough to release him to freedom?

Most people I know here in the UK (all ages and some with minor ailments) have had the AZ and are fine, I had the pzier (2 doses) and felt fine as well, I'd rather be vaccinated.tham have covid (I have seen up close how terrible it can be)

You do realise that this is a thread about vaccine preference, rather than vaccine hesistancy or avoidance, don't you?

And that characterising people as 'idiotic' for not following your choices in the matter is unlikely to be a persuasive argument? Even from a moderator?

paulry

I was thinking that too. The tut tut brigade strikes again.

Amazulu

I explained that they were my terms but you chose to ignore that - anything else is you being pedantic or in your head only

You decide if I have a "doctor friend" - your issue not mine

What's going on here? I posted a perfectly reasonable link to your post yet you decided to get arsy and take issue with it. Bizarre but that's your indaba - do whatever floats your boat​​​​​​​

And more importantly for the wider population, you are less infectious.

Get vaxxed no matter what you are offered.

abner

Let's be clear here.

You put in your own inflammatory characterisation of a serious disease, and attributed those comments to somebody else.

You were called out for doing so, and later admitted that you had.

Really, what credibility do you have left in commenting on the topic?

Beoz

Victorians are swamping vaccine centres. Nothing like a bit of Covid fear to promote a bit of vaccining. Kind of a kin to recently where the fear mongering was promoting anti AZ. A few more outbreaks and our vaxxing numbers should be well up there.

the troubadour

Your choice of course. Not for me or partner though. That is our choice. Blood clotting being relevant on the mother's side of her family. I suspect most people will finally take the vaccine when feel confident enough to do so. I mean Australia most unlikely to cope with any serious outbreak, if anything like the WA health system. Why wouldn't you? Just not the AZ jab. .

Anyone who says they would rather take their chances with COVID than a vaccine is idiotic. You disagree, that's your right. Oh and I haven't been a moderator for a long time. Do keep up. Even if I was, I'm still entitled to an opinion even if it's one you disagree with.

My word. How insular. Let others do the testing for you. What an arse you are.
