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

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.
 
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?
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 ?

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.
 
Which im still allowed to attend?
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
