You volunteering to give up
your seat and shuffle off to the morgue?
...away you go then, see you later.
My missus is an organ donor recipient and she's immunosuppressed as a result.
Yeah she's in her 50s and yeah she's double-vaccinated.
Covid will still give her a hard time if she catches it, but at least it won't be the 1:5 chance of dying she was told prior to getting the vaccinations.
Any of you guy want to play Russian Roulette, keeping in mind 1:5 is worse odds? How about your wife/mother/grandparent, they up for a spin?
It's a big deal to her if she dies of COVID that she catches from some idiot that is too scared of a jab. It's a big deal to me, it's a big deal to her kids and it's a big deal to her grandchildren.
She works in aged care. Let's say she gets COVID from some ignorant
twat numpty but as she's been vaccinated she doesn't think it's COVID as it's just a sniffle and she is responsible for spreading COVID within her facility. People will die, most of the residents have been vaccinated twice but they get new ones in to replace those who pass of old age. When you get old and frail it doesn't take much to tip you over the edge BUT IT STILL DOESN'T MEAN IT GIVES US THE RIGHT TO MAKE IT SOONER THAN LATER.
Strangely as she's human, and not like some of you other 'open at all costs and who gives a fecking rat's if a few old people die' people she cares about the people in her care and this would break her. I don't want her broken, she is getting over cancer (thanks to long-term immunosuppressant use) and she does not need that in her life.
The more people that run around unvaccinated the more chance this virus has to mutate again and again and more people will die. At some point whatever vaccines we have are not going to be very useful and so this immunisation strategy will need to become like the yearly fluvax. What happens when a new mutation starts killing kids? How's that Russian Roulette looking...anyone???
Yeah it'll probably be the frail, the old, the very sick and those with compromised immune systems...but this is ok right, as long as you can go play golf and go to the footy/cricket/pub. They're expendable right, the old bastards that soak up all the aged care funding and whinge about all those young whipper snappers...
...the same people that have fought for this country, the ones that have paid taxes all their lives and now are past their 'Use By' date.
You don't like it, tell you what why don't you and a few thousand of your mates go protest without masks and spread it further. Why not have a party or six and spread it again and again. Tell you what why not think your religion is 'special' and the rules don't apply to you and you holy times are yours to do with as you damn well feel like it...
...and THEN you bleat that your locked down and lockdowns don't work and somehow it's the person in charge's fault that these lockdowns go on for ever.
These are the facts:
1. People are stupid.
2. People are selfish.
3. People are quite blase about other people's lives as long as they are ok.
