That's 6 million people. (Soon to be many more not taking the booster)

Are you gonna lock them all up?

Good luck with that.

To get ahead of Omicron we need to follow the examples happening in other countries by building internment camps asap, ready to isolate the unvaxxed away from civilized society.

The time for half measures is over.

*The above is most definitely not my personal opinion but it was one shared by a number of people at work today.

Scary times.

Imo a proper conversation is needed. Not because I believe in mandatory vaccines, but because I believe we need better information out there with more grown up discussions about options.

Where we are now is like that brexit set of votes where everyone voted down everything.

Is do nothing feasible ? What are the consequences? Are the acceptable? That's my starting point.

I'd the answer is we need to do something then we need to discuss what the somethings are and which is the right basket of actions.

Jesus that is scary. I’m gobsmacked so many people agree with this route.

What do they believe is a justifiable punishment? Prison? Fine people into poverty? It’s pretty terrifying.

Surely after all this time and the amount of information out there you would know it is more than a cold? Over 160000 dead people didn't die of a cold.

I had my booster yesterday despite having had a frozen shoulder on the left side after my first jab in that arm.

Despite a frozen shoulder on the right after a jab in my right arm.

Physio said they’re looking into the statistics as they have seen a rise in frozen shoulder post covid jab.

I’d rather reduce my vulnerability to covid and put up with the shoulders.

Doesn't show how many older/vulnerable people might have caught it from un-vaxed people of your age though, so it's not something to be smug and laughing about really

Lock them up? dont be silly prison costs, why waste money on the refusniks.

More likely a nice £1,000 fine. 6 Million of those will do nicely to pay for the next set of boosters. ta very much for your future dontation to my health.

My friend is an ICU nurse in W.York’s, she says all Covid cases in her care are un-vaxed, just my 2 pence worth, my best friend refuses the vax as had Covid, I’m gunna ask him for his season ticket for Leeds as he ain’t getting in after today’s announcement.

I did my undergrad dissertation on flu and have a PhD in molecular biology. I'm happy to explain why you should have the vaccine, why it isn't "rushed" or "experimental", etc and anything else.

In short though, regardless of helping others, even for selfish reasons do it. Coronavirus can infect any organ in your body. Why would you take that risk? For some the underlying ramifications of infection may not become apparent for years.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

I think what is really clear, is many people don't like to be told what to do regardless of the science and facts or morality etc. Making the vaccine mandatory won't change how these people feel.

It's too easy to make this into a us versus them argument with both sides refusing to see the other side's viewpoint. This stand off doesn't help anyone.

Sadly these arguments don't work in many people especially those who don't have a science background. We need poets, musicians, story tellers to target people's emotions. Not scientists to target the rationale part of their brains.

Sorry I didn't express myself correctly. I'm a scientist, of course we need more scientists! I mean when we are trying to convince people to get vaccinated we can't just rely on scientists and using facts and peer reviewed papers. We need who can communicate on an emotional level too. Something many scientists struggle with.

Same with Smallpox, that was made mandatory and where is it now? oh yeah its eradicated.

Whether people like it or not the Government has a legal duty to protect the health of its citizens and the Public Health Act already gives it the powers to do whatever is deemed necessary to protect its citizens from an infectious disease. Personally i'd rather not see mandatory vaccinations but if that is what it takes then so be it.

Whether we get to mandatory remains to be seen. I suspect the stepping up of Covid Passport requirements for other activities, sports, holidays & employment etc would come first.

I’m going to throw my 2 pence worth in in the most objective way possible. I am pro vaccination and believe that all people should have all vaccines unless there is a good reason.

Reason 2: there is something scientific that basis you’re objection.

I agree that everyone is entitled to their human rights and you can’t mandate that people must have the vaccine but if you are unwilling to vaccinate yourself then you should be testing at a minimum every other day and definitely everytime you go out in large public spaces.

Hate to break the news to you but even if you are vaccinated you can still pass it on.

So are you advising everyone to test or just discriminating against the unvaccinated?

"Just cancelled my booster best thing I done all day

Why?

Simply because the vaccines do not work in the slightest hence going round and round in circles

Did you not see the slide in tonight's briefing, showing a massive correlation between being un-vaxed and being hospitalised?

Did they show a slide with charts and graphs and colours.

Must be true if they showed slides "

I’m double vaccinated and I still test twice a week as I work with people that work within st Pancras international.

Personally I think everyone should have the vaccine, that’s just my personal opinion.

If people don’t want the vaccine and they get Ill and end up dying then that’s up to them.

Once I start seeing mandatory vaccines mentioned in the likes of Germany and Austria then I do start to think about how the Nazi’s pushed power and persecuted the Jews and the majority of the population followed suit !

My comments might seem a bit extreme, but once governments/administrations start dictating what is the norm then people who don’t tow that line will be looked on as outsiders. Vaccine passports are the start of that and whilst I’m not a conspiracy theorist if the scientists get their way we’ll have babies coming out of the womb and being jabbed soon !

I am actually scared by the control SAGE have over our government, Neil Ferguson who’s statistics on foot and mouth, SARS and now Covid19 have been so wildly incorrect it’s laughable, he’s sacked from SAGE, ended up at NERVTAG and has now appeared in the media in recent weeks with the tag ‘SAGE scientist’ - how do that happen !

For years the government and their scientists have said, don’t drink this, don’t smoke that, eating that is bad for you and generally the population has gone ‘fook off, you don’t tell me how to live my life’ now they can lock us in our homes after a 20-minute announcement and that is some power to weird, don’t think these people are going to give that up easily !

First its night clubs and cinemas...then its supermarkets etc.

You do realise that the “elite” pay more in tax than anyone else? I can’t find the exact stat but it’s something like the top 10% of earners paying 60% of the total tax paid in the country. If anyone has the exact number please feel free to share it with me.

It certainly is scary times with people recommending camps for unvaccinated.

And its also funny because the figures are still rising in those countries that have the most restrictions...

Whereas the countries that have less restrictions, the figures are decreasing.

Good luck with that.

He didn't say that at all.

He was asked: why are we not bringing in mandatory vaccines? and he replied that we couldn't continue with restrictions on people's lives forever, and the uptake on vaccines and boosters was not good enough, then there would need to be a "conversation" with the general public as to where we go next.

Thanks for the clarification Cal..

It's been jumped upon and twisted to interpret it as the Op did for one simple reason, on the day after the video which cost Allegra Stretton lost her job one way to switch the narrative is to deflect and how this has been taken does just that..

We are a long way from any discussions regarding mandation of vaccination if ever we have that debate which u seriously doubt would happen in any case..

for the record as someone who has been part of the vaccination programme I am very opposed to such ideas..

So many people bringing up the slide show and 90% hospitalizations unvaxxed.

I wonder how many of these people realise that if you are double vaxxed and end up in hospital or dead, you are now classed as unvaxxed as you haven't had your third shot.

They changed who is classed as vaxxed and unvaxxed only last month, just after the governments own date showed way more deaths per 100,000 for under 60 who were vaxxed.

If dogs could talk, would they object to the rabies jab?

More importantly, would it be more sensible to ignore the individual and protect the masses instead?

No one has the right to spread this virus.

Some people can't even wash their hands after a shit or piss. This stupid attitude is a public health risk: not a display of human rights.

This is why viruses spread, poor hygiene, attitudes and stubbornness.

The vaccine was rushed for one reason. We don't have the luxury of time. The longer the virus does it's damage, the more people die. Look how long HIV?AIDS took to get under control.

what/whom you are referring to is the top wealthy, not the elite.

The elite, own the banks, oil, energy, food/agriculture, pharma giants.

Look up Blackrock. Owns 30% of the globes assets.

One of many corps owned by the elites.

The Elite are above royalty.

They control the flow of money,they directly/indirectly influence and lobby our politics, they are OUR politics.

One rule for them, another rule for US.

im sure you've heard that term a lot recently.

There's a reason.

There's only two classes on this earth.

The ruling.

Then the rest who follow suit.

They own/formed the UN, Nato, club of rome, trilateral commission, world economic forum, bilderbergs, jesuits/vatican...etc the list goes on.

back on topic though. ai believe there will be riots and civil war if the gov even tries to mandate such. I'll be on the frontlines when that happens

That’s more insulting to the families of those that have died than Boris’s aide managed, hope you’re feeling proud of yourself.

Just do what Greece and Germany are going to do. €100 fine monthly until they get it, refuse to pay, you get the bailiffs round or a charge slapped on your property.

It's only fair, selfish individuals who refuse to work together as a society and the same people who are refusing to wear masks most of the the time.

The money then used to offset the additional money to cover the NHS care of the unvaxxed.

Mother on the News tonight, spouting every other mother should get the vaccine as she didn't at a cost of her baby being C Section delivered at 26 weeks and her on a ventilator in a coma for a month.

Putting the cost of her and her baby to the NHS at well over £500,000. A vaccine would have not almost cost her and her child their lives and so much to the NHS.

Many pregnant mothers are being delivered early to facilitate ventilation and ridiculous the NHS has to unnecessary fund it with already stretched resources.

As for those cancelling boosters, good luck as Darwen theory will prevail..

I'll leave people a fact and they can digest however they like, as is everyone's absolute prerogative of course. Entirely up to you.

A close family member is a Grade 7 Sister in a large hospital and earlier today they confirmed to me that they currently had no patients currently being treated for Covid that were unvaccinated. None. All are classed as fully vaxxed. As in 2 x jabs.

Now we need to get this in context for absolute clarity. So it is important to note that all of these patients are what would be classed as elderly. And also most people that fall in that age bracket tend to have been vaccinated.

It is also important to note this is just one hospital. Many around the country are going to have very differing statistics.

The nearest info I've found was that last Friday of all Covid patients in England & Wales around 36% of them were classed as unvaccinated. The rest being being fully vaccinated.

My relation, in the light of today's announcements, wanted as many to know as possible for context. Obviously they are personally bound by the NHS Trust so I can't name them, the hospital etc...

As I say I'm sure people working in other hospitals may have differing experiences as you'd expect. But we wanted you to know these details as you may find them of interest.

I believe it should be down to freedom to choose. In my case I'm vaxxed due to my family and gf who have aliments with my family being bad asthma sufferers and my sister kids have other aliments while my gf is type 1 diabetic and if they got covid it could be dire. Also having my father die from this put a lot in perspective in deciding on getting vaxxed.

You don't get a say whether to breathe in air pollution or not, it's a by-product of a necessity (travel), it's an issue which needs addressing but it's not comparable to the covid vaccine.

Using the logic of the State taking control of the health and well-being of the population surely then it should outlaw smoking and obesity seeing as how these are also a strain on the NHS as well as factors in the severity covid has on a person?

I wonder how many of these people realise that if you are double vaxxed and end up in hospital or dead, you are now classed as unvaxxed as you haven't had your third shot.

They changed who is classed as vaxxed and unvaxxed only last month, just after the governments own date showed way more deaths per 100,000 for under 60 who were vaxxed.

I’m fact I’m not even against mandates. I’m against unjustifiable, unenforceable (without turning into a dictatorship) mandates

This already is a dictatorship, they have fooled us all. Laughed at us, taxed us while the elite get richer. It’s them and us, they make the rules fit their needs

You do realise that the “elite” pay more in tax than anyone else? I can’t find the exact stat but it’s something like the top 10% of earners paying 60% of the total tax paid in the country. If anyone has the exact number please feel free to share it with me. "

That is both true but also the usual rolled out justification to not address tax evasion by the super rich through financial mechanisms including offshoring and holding wealth via corporate structures. They pay more because they earn more but they also evade a huge amount.

Perfect example was Green the owner of Arcadia group - clearly the owner yet ALL shares in wife’s name who domiciled in Monaco so they paid zero tax on dividends. Dividends that were incidentally funded via a massive raid on the pension pot, bankrupting the company and wiping out the pensions of tens of thousands of workers whose hard work had made the Greens rich!

Not really the place I wish to discuss this.

But these restrictions do nothing to stop transmission of covid.

If you're vaccinated you can take your covid into anywhere. If you're not you simply need to get a test and enter the details on the government site, and you'll have a nice pass on your phone to enter anywhere.

The only thing they ensure is that you can't enter anywhere without a digital pass.

This isn't anything other than a fact..

They mandated it for care staff a sector that had a staff shortage before and its worse now, they're mandating it for nhs staff next year it was only a matter of time before everyone was.

Want to change someones belief you need to understand why they hold that, force coercion bullying restrictions won't do that, mandates as shown by 60,000 care workers leaving the sector don't work.

My understanding of the numbers 6 mil adults 0 jabs that number will swell with those who aren't boostered, think theres a large proportion of under 18's that aren't fully jabbed, number I saw was akin to 20 million. if thats anything like thr number Thats a lot of resource that will be excluded.

Our local hospital is apparently at 100% due to “bed blocking”. Patients are unable to go home as not sufficient care workers, many left after mandated vaccinations.

Head of local NHS is asking families and friends to step up and offer care so patients can go home. No mention that they have to be vaccinated or not.

Putting aside the fact that all the PM said at the briefing was in effect “in the UK we don’t mandate” and “if things got worse we may need a national conversation” meaning all factors and solutions would need consideration (can’t believe I am actually “defending” BJ)...

1. I suspect the UK will not directly mandate vaccines ever but will instead do so by stealth.

2. Stealth meaning make it increasingly difficult to do the things you want in life without restrictions.

My POV is that if Covid had a much higher mortality rate (yes it is bad enough and heartbreaking for anyone who has lost loved ones) and it was proven that the vaccines stopped transmission, then there would be a stronger case. However, while vaccines reduce transmission they certainly do not stop transmission...

In fact we are seeing the law of unintended consequences kicking in:

1. Vaccine reduces severity of symptoms.

2. Plenty of people are therefore asymptomatic.

3. They are therefore walking around unaware and spreading Covid.

4. People also feel invulnerable because of Vaccines and are therefore reducing or stopping any other mitigations and therefore helping to spread it.

The other elephant(s) in the room regarding treating unvaccinated differently to vaccinated people...

1. If you are vaccinated why are you so scared of unvaccinated people? There seems to be an assumption they are full of virus and spreading uncontrolled!

2. If an unvaccinated person does get Covid they are more likely to get symptoms, get ill and know they are ill and stay home or seek treatment (ie leas likely to be an asymptomatic spreader).

3. An unvaccinated person is more at risk from a vaccinated person than the other way around.

4. An immuno-suppressed person is more at risk from an asymptomatic vaccinated person than an unvaccinated person because (see point 2).

So, I would argue, the only real reason to look at unvaccinated people is whether they put unsustainable pressure on hospitals.

Anyone able to quote the stats on hospitals broken down by age AND vaccine status?

"Just cancelled my booster best thing I done all day

Why?

Simply because the vaccines do not work in the slightest hence going round and round in circles "

I'm not in favour of mandatory vaccines.

What we need is better education and a more informed society. I don't mean to pick on you, as there are a lot of people with this kind of misunderstanding about the vaccines, what they're for and what they do.

For example, if this guy was better informed, and had a better understanding, he would have been less likely to cancel his booster.

If a national conversation was to be had, it would most likely be driven by events escalating out of control.

If the majority of the country decides to back a mandatory vaccination programme, it does not mean people will be forced to take the vaccine.

I have a full understanding of the vaccines and what they do i won't be having a booster.

That's a massive assumption you've made

If they went down the road of doing a referendum (highly unlikely) then you can guarantee they'll ramp up the lockdowns & pipe more fear through the msm to scare the life out of the masses.

I didn't mention referendum, the fact the majority of the public are vaccinated could be seen as evidence for vaccination support and MP's would be more than likely asked to vote on such measures on behalf of their constituents

"So many people bringing up the slide show and 90% hospitalizations unvaxxed.

I wonder how many of these people realise that if you are double vaxxed and end up in hospital or dead, you are now classed as unvaxxed as you haven't had your third shot.

They changed who is classed as vaxxed and unvaxxed only last month, just after the governments own date showed way more deaths per 100,000 for under 60 who were vaxxed.

This is actual bull shit btw. You are incorrect. Try not to quote things you don’t have a clue about "

The poster you responded to is the reason why there are so many conspiracies. They read things they don’t understand or just look at the headlines and then spread false information. The only references I found to the 3 jab requirement was a Reuters report just over 3 weeks ago and after after several reports about the unvaccinated making up the majority of hospitalisations. The report actually said that’s it’s something that will have to be considered eventually, but there was no timeframe. So unless something has radically changed in the last couple of weeks, the poster is actually making it up.

No medical procedure, treatment or medication is forced upon people. People with a cancer diagnosis have that ability to refuse treatment, people eligible for the flu vax don't have to get it, you don't have to vax your children, you don't have to take lemsip if you've got a cold, you don't have to take paracetamol if you've got a headache. C vax will not become a compulsory thing. It's a whole load of scaremongering so they can get controversial bills passed with little interference and have some sort of power and control over people. Also money.. It always boils down to that. I'm not against vax, but I am pro choice. My children have had their infant vax but will not be receiving a c vax, nor will I.

"If dogs could talk, would they object to the rabies jab?

More importantly, would it be more sensible to ignore the individual and protect the masses instead?

No one has the right to spread this virus.

Some people can't even wash their hands after a shit or piss. This stupid attitude is a public health risk: not a display of human rights.

This is why viruses spread, poor hygiene, attitudes and stubbornness."

Rabies has something like a 100% mortality rate

Not really the same tbh

I really mean no offence at all, but you seem to be in the category that really would benefit from the booster. Maybe you could reconsider it in future.

I suppose it’s all your choice though. I definitely believe we should all have the freedom to do as we wish

I was just using this guy as an example. No offense intended.

He explained that he has little to no knowledge of vaccines. And said he used this misunderstanding to base his choice on.

He's not alone.

I've no clue why you chose not to get the vaccine.

I'd say that there is not much chance of this thread getting back on topic (whatever it really was) now that even the OP has hijacked his own thread!

Did you not see the slide in tonight's briefing, showing a massive correlation between being un-vaxed and being hospitalised?"

You can take the broken record off the record player and take the keys out of the digger any time soon… please please please wake up very soon to what is really really happening in the world right in front of our eyes! i genuinely pray for people like yourself!

Nothing to see here anymore, its been clarified. Quote from No 10 briefing.

The PM’s spokesman dismissed reports that, when Boris Johnson talked at the press conference last night about having a “national debate” about how to move beyond restrictions as a way of managing Covid, he was not floating the idea of mandatory vaccination. His comments have been taken in this way because it was not clear exactly what he meant. But the spokesman said:

I think he was making a broader point on the intention to keep developing further mitigations against coronavirus and any subsequent mutations, be that polyvalent vaccinations or further therapeutics, like the antivirals that we’re rolling out.

We recognise how challenging this is, and disheartening for the public to see us having to introduce further restrictions, albeit at a relatively limited level. And so we will do everything possible to continue to be at the cutting edge of this work.

The spokesman also said Johnson does not want to see “a society and culture where we force people to get vaccinated”.

My comment has very little to do with being pro government or pro pharma.

It has everything to do with the lack of truth in your thread headline, which some people are taking it as gospel truth.
