    Unless you are one of the 150 deaths per day, or are related to these poor people who are dying because someone else gave them covid, but who probably live on after suffering covid.

    Whilst I don't want to trivialise that, those people can only really be unvaccinated people and if you're still unvaccinated at this point then you've only got yourself to blame, with a very small number of exceptions.

    I understand that lockdowns and other restrictions were absolutely necessary for a long time, but that's completely changed now.

    From personal experience, I know that is not true.

    Whilst every death is a tragedy, we cannot hide forever.

    There's a bloke at work who's always claimed Covid doesn't exist. He's always been one for a good conspiracy theory.

    One of these theories is that the vapour trail from the jets is actually a poison to kill us all.

    When I pointed out the fact we're all living longer these days, he just looked at me like I was a fool and stomped off in a huff.

    I mean the man actually gets on a train to London to see David Icke talking ****.

    Anyway, he's been off work for three weeks now diagnosed with Covid, but still refuses to believe it exists.

    Apparently his whole family share these mad beliefs. They stem from his father.

    Sadly, last week his father passed away.

    Yep, you guessed it, Covid. RIP x

    A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. So said that great humanitarian, Josef Stalin.

    For me these anti vaxxers are really difficult to understand. We have friends in Germany who are tearing their hair out over their children and are arguing with them constantly re vaccination. Their daughter is a qualified Pharmacist and is vehemently opposed to the vaccine, so much so that she lost her job of 20 years at the pharmacy where she worked for arguing with customers re the jab. Their son is a newly qualified Doctor, he too is an anti vaxxer, yet sees the results of the pandemic and refuses to be jabbed. We told them of our son's friend 43 yrs old, anti vaxxer , Covid denier who died 4 weeks ago of Covid. It made no difference to their beliefs.

    Yes.
    They don't think that there has been enough testing of the vaccines, that they were hurried through. They are worried what may happen in later years. They may be correct it's their call. I think that we have to trust the vaccines.

    Go on then. Here are two from Mussolinii, founder of fascism, which was different to Nazism. There are no doubt others available from Salazar, Franco and other Fascists.

    "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.". (Thinking of TWS I would amend that to one day as a tiger than 100 years as a peacock)

    "State ownership! It leads only to absurd and monstrous conclusions; state ownership means state monopoly, concentrated in the hands of one party and its adherents, and that state brings only ruin and bankruptcy to all." Ironic as at one time he was a bit of a commie.
