They just won't watch it unfortunately. Instead, they'll just parrot what they've read somewhere where some smear merchant has smeared the guys character (wrongly and incorrectly) and just close their minds to the guy.
The ironic thing in all of this is the fact that the guy has patents for this tech which has been proven time and again, literally invented the tech which all of these vaccines are riding off of, yet repeatedly tell others to 'listen to the science', but not this science, like the inventor of *the science*. Words fail me with this mentality. Many such cases.
Something Mike Yeadon brings up in respect to the lipid that wraps the messenger part of the vaccine, Yeadon points out that the lipid was developed in a laboratory and has never been tested for it's safe use, like never. This lipid doesn't exist in nature. So, we have a test vaccine with component parts which we know nothing of their toxicity values and possible harm, I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right?

Since when have I said I won't wear a mask?
And since when has wearing a mask even been a restriction?
I mean wether we are put into another lockdown or movements are restricted in any way. I went out more than usual during lockdown. Somebody had to start paying for all the financial support, medical care and vaccines. That coupled with brexit has put people on the bread line.
I don't mean my kids are hungry in what I say, I tick along and pay for all the comforts everybody else has; which actually puts us in a worse position than having nothing because any loss of earnings through covid or knock on effects with pricing and supply from brexit means the debts accumulate quickly and the margins aren't there to claw it back.
I've worked twice as hard and my costs have escalated to a point I earned less than the 80% given to those paid to stay home (who some subsequently managed to catch covid while being ‘at home') to protect the health service I'm paying for.
To be honest I've worked so hard for so little, anybody who is ever smug about the fact they worked and got furlough, were paid to do nothing or somehow scammed a loan or grant, I'd happily strangle the **** to death. Horrible slippery selfish ****ers

Pissed me off the lot that had been tossing it off for the best part of two years. Had a few heated words with a few work-shy types on the bank who were furloughed telling me how great it was being payed to sit on their jax whilst still cotching up 🤬
I got the first grant as I was forced to stop work and didn't go back for 3 months. Had very little left in my bank account by the time we were allowed to go back to work. Since then, I've cracked along through all the other lockdowns without stopping and haven't received or asked for any grants since. Had to pay the full tax on the grant i received.

You said you couldn't care less about restrictions, and wearing a mask on public transport is a restriction, just one of the few we have in place.
In regards to working during the major lockdown, I was furloughed, am I sorry no, I'm not, it was completely out of my hands, I worked for a multi billion pound company who just followed the rules. Did I lose out? Yes I did, i was down 33% of my earnings, but I got a chance to spend months with my daughter in a way I'd never thought would happen, and yes had plenty of fun doing so. Maybe you need to take the chip off your shoulder about people being on furlough, because I would guarantee I wasnt the only one who was worse off

But there are loads of people on the buses I drive past in my privately owned vehicle without a mask, I wouldn't know about trains because I can't exactly fit my tool kit on a trolley.
You really have no idea of the financial implications, risks and measures I've had to take so don't tell me about chips on shoulders. I'm glad you got to spend time with your daughter, it sounds like a hoot.
But don't you dare question my frustration with a system that has dry raped me for the last 2 years even more than previously.
I had to accept I was more than likely going to catch and give covid to my pregnant partner, son and then newborn in the hour or 2 I get to see them to make ends meet, anybody given the financial cushion of not having to make that decision through necessity has no right to question my stance.

So there you go, your frustration is with the game, and not with the players which you seem to have alot of resentment about.
As I said did I ask for it? No, did I want to be furloughed? No, but did I make the most of it? Bloody hell yes, who wouldn't? but that's not my fault, and again, I lost a third of my wages for doing it, and whatever way you look at it, that's a bloody lot of money, so you're not the only one who had implications.
I do feel for those who had to carry on, I know plenty who did, but at least you're still working, thousands upon thousands who were furloughed never got to go back to their job, as covid had ruined it for them

I mean why believe one scientist over the yay saying ones.....
... because they're in a tiny minority of less than 0.01% of people qualified in the field?

Can't argue with any of that, same boat as I was in. Even though I wanted to go to work I couldn't 👍

Let's say the number you quote is correct, and yet 0.3% on the whole died of Covid. Make your mind up.

I get your point but you didn't lose 1/3. You were given 2/3
Of course my frustration is with the system and not every individual. But I still resent every penny I've given in tax that may have paid for the quality time and security I never got.
Also you're probably now back at work on full pay, whereas I'm still working with the same burdens of covid and brexit fallout at a loss

I am back at work, though not with the same firm as it was due to shut anyhow, but there were loads of us who would have worked through given the opportunity, it was just the way it worked out for us. The ironic thing about it all, is you see certain celebrities or maybe football clubs take pelters for furloughing their staff, but the company I worked at, which was a multi billion pound company, quite happily took the government furlough scheme, when in reality they probably could have covered the costs themselves, well at least for a while, yet stuff like that went way under the radar

When people stayed at home on furlough, that still helped protect you from Covid - even if you still had to go out and work. The people in the houses you were in had less transmisssion risk.

Kier Starmer now isolating for the '6th' time! I bet he's still getting payed. If it was Joe bloggs the employer would think he was taking the Pi55.
Still, it saves any searching questions in PMQs about his support for Blair's knighthood!
