    I don't see the need to be vaccinated against something I'm not at risk from.

    It's not just about you it's those you have contact with friends, family, colleagues whoever and what makes you think you're not at risk? God on your side?

    You don't know that you're not at risk though. We have no idea what it will do to our bodies in the decades to come. Seems a bit of a gamble to take over getting a needle in the arm.

    What are the current stats on the vaccine stopping people getting the virus and being able to spread it ? I know it doesn’t stop this but is it supposed to reduce it ?

    Yes. Plenty of verifiable info out there try the Lancet and BMJ for a start.

    I was told by a consultant in respiratory medicine. No guarantees of course but I'm willing to trust his judgement along with the mountains of evidence for my age group. I also had a positive antibody recently so more than confident that I'm not at any risk whatsoever.

    My loved ones are either vaccinated or not and like me are willing to take the 'risk'. Its all good.

    You were able to book an appointment with a consultant in respiratory medicine during a respiratory illness pandemic . Impressive

    OK that's your choice and the restrictions that go with it.

    Nope. I work for the NHS and regularly work with consultants from a variety of specialties.

    If I was ill enough to see a respiratory doctor then I'd quite clearly be at risk.

    Absolutely. Though I'm not aware of any restrictions at this time (and won't be adhering to any anyway).

    Then you know well enough the benefits of vaccinations outweigh the drawbacks. Nothing further to add.

    Which simply require a negative test.

    I know but that is still a form of restriction. Not a stringent one mind

    Yes but there is still a form of restriction for the unvaccinated. A really low hassle one but there still is one

    Some people found that bothersome. Not saying you did but loads of conservatives voted against the measure

    And they’d be a subsection of people in America who would just refuse to go on principle

    Do the vaccinated still need to show a negative test? I didn’t think so but if they did then I clearly didn’t read the announcement properly

    Try getting on a flight, ferry or international train. More rules to come, entry to stadiums, if there are any more games.
