Germany restrict unvaccinated

Yeah it’s a tough one admittedly, but in a free society forced vaccinations just doesn’t seem right. Hospitals are dealing with a huge percentage of patients who have illnesses linked to smoking, drinking, poor diets. Probably a higher proportion than Covid patients I would guess too, is it worth banning everything that contributes to this?

If the vaccine 100% stopped transmission I would be all for it, but it doesn’t
Very true, but smokers, drinkers and overweiget people only kill themselves, not half the population!!

Correct JM14 -- we probably know many people who can't get a routine medical exam never mind an op so while I agree in the vaccines I'm not having authorities pin me to the execution wall and demand that I take it. Lives matter of course but it seems we're really getting duped by the authorities here on what the vaccine really does-- it gives us some kind of protection against the virus[es] -- it's never 100 percent, perhaps not even 60 percent effective after 3 months or so. So with that in mind, are we really doing the right thing by cancelling so many NHS activities due to Covid or is this just another way of making people pay for their own medical issues via private medical care?
 
Almost all reasoning for not getting it is nonsense.
Have you looked at all cause mortality numbers? I can't verify the linked article - haven't had time, and I'm no statistical expert (unlike the author) but it makes interesting reading. He's not the only statistician who is concerned either.


And the odd thing is the Pfizer trial results show similar results in the 6 month review. Check page 12 of the downloaded document for details of all cause mortality during the trial.

I'm not implying for a minute that you shouldn't get the vaccine. It's imperative for many. But I think we have to recognise there are those who aren't as trusting of the authorities.

Those who are very willing to believe nonsense, yes.
 
There are no valid reasons for religious grounds.
Most of the people in the US refusing to get the vaccine do so because they tested the vaccine on aborted human embryo cells. In the US it's pretty straightforward to claim a religious exception on the grounds you don't want to benefit from abortion.

Pfizer kept this quiet but a "whistleblower" leaked the emails. It then became a concern for the White House because they realised a significant proportion of the US population would never accept the vaccine - and that conversation was also leaked. I think they see mandates as a political weapon.
 
I’m absolutely sick to death of coming on here and reading endless s***y stuff about covid, vaccines, lockdowns, Boris etc

dull dull dull

i need to stay off this sodding forum
. I’m depressed enough.

I still maintain the vaccines are at the moment the most effective tool we have, but it certainly isn’t something that’s going to end this as we initially thought.
Considering you can still catch Covid, pass it on and even possibly die despite being fully vaccinated, also shows forcing this on the entire population also won’t end this either

I take it you didn't download the Pfizer trial results data. The statistical analysis linked earlier was based on data from the UK health authorities. The guy was trying to prove someone wrong because they failed to consider Simpsons Paradox but then he realised it was probably correct but for different reasons.

Maybe by reducing the numbers those unvaccinated clogging up hospital beds they would be more room to treat other ailments?

Not a legitimate reason.

Unless these anti-vaxxers are also boycotting many, many other products for the same reason, including basic painkillers, but I expect they've just found an excuse to avoid getting the vaccine and ran with it.

That’s absolutely correct and you would really hope people would be sensible and just get vaccinated, but if they don’t it has to be their choice.
It’s the same as the drinkers/smokers clogging up hospital beds argument again. Those are illnesses that are completely avoidable yet have clogged up hospital beds for years and cost the nhs billions. But no one is calling for that to be banned

Last time I checked there were considerably more vaccinated clogging up hospital beds than unvaccinated. Simple enough to explain - most unvaccinated are under 40. And many of those have had Covid-19 (including most of my extended family - pre-vaccines I hasten to add). Less than 900 people under 40 have died of Covid-19 and most of those had co-morbidities. (That data is from the NHS by the way; the ONS provides data from 10 to 59 to avoid showing people how little Covid affects the young).

 
I'd be very surprised if Germany did make it mandatory, given the history of the Nazis making many things mandatory in the 1930s and 40s. I don't think the government that did that would be very popular there.
My German work colleague has been saying for months there's no way Germany will mandate things given that history.
She's off for a few days so will be interesting to catch up with her next week as she will have no doubt caught up with her family over there about it.
 
By the end of October Germany’s vaccination rate was lower than 70%. No wonder their infection rates are soaring.
