    This is one of those times when the collective's rights trump the individual's. Once we get vaccination rates up, probably over 90%, then we might be able to afford the willingly unvaccinated; now it's still too early. This is a very persistent, stubborn, virus.

    It is good to see, though, that the vaccines are doing their job -- hospitalisations and deaths in this 4th wave have not been rising dramatically as they did in previous waves.

    Why do they jump everytime the cases rise?

    The vaccine does not stop transmission of the virus and mask and vaccine passports also do very little.

    It's as if it's been pushed so much that the vaccine stops transmission when it doesn't that people actually believe it and can't understand why cases are rising.

    I see the independent nutjobs at Sage want Plan B and even beyond that, no household mixing.

    After nearly 2 years of MSM bombardment into people's heads of this virus most believe everything they are told.

    There are those out there who believe these spikes are being caused by the unvaccinated, you know because it's easier to blame one group of people.

    We have a killer virus in circulation, We have a vaccination that will in most cases stop the deaths but some people will not agree to it, Unbelievable
    One Cigarette company executive was asked if the owners and board of directors smoked? " Don't be silly he replied only the poor and the stupid buy our products and fortunately for us there are plenty of them"
    It seems the same with the vaccine taking

    To quote Ivan Drago, if they die, they die.

    It's their choice. The unvaccinated aren't driving the spread, the virus itself spreads in this way as it is airborne.

    Every year the flu vaccine has been rolled out people still caught flu. The vaccine was there to prevent you dying from it.

    This virus will at some point known or unknown infect everyone.

    So boosters to be offered to those aged 40 and above. Wouldn't it be a good idea to sort out those over the age of 50 first before focusing on more people. I'm in my 40's and my booster wouldn't be due to long after Christmas so just get those who need it now sorted before focusing on others.

    Boris about to have a press conference. I doubt he will be announcing Austrian like restrictions but you never know which way the wind is blowing with Boris.

    There was a fairly clear answer to this in this morning's press conference. The 6 month rule will ensure that the vast majority of over 50s will get their opportunity before the 40 to 49s become eligible.

    Not much, infact I think he scared the shit out of many by announcing you won't be fully jabbed unless you get your boosters and that fully jabbed now won't be fully jabbed down the line.

    He really didn't sound well and he had no substance in his press conference, it was all pretty pointless.

    Is anyone actually surpised by this? Unless you comply with a cyclical booster, you'll be marginalised from society and locked into a control system. All just a conspiracy though, obviously.

    It wasn't really the best sales pitch in the world.

    For people who haven't has their jab, please come forward and have your jab to protect yourself.

    For those who have had their jab, it no longer works so come and have another.

    It's not an ideal pitch to make.
