Does medicine know there aren't any long term side effects of the vaccine? No Has it concluded that on the balance of evidence from extensive research, trials and real life implementation that the risk of any side effects is outweighed by the benefits? Yes We won't know for definite the long...

Must confess I probably stood 3 feet away from complete strangers whenever possible before anyone had heard of Covid so not entirely sure that is much hardship!

Vaccines don't eliminate onward transmission but the do reduce the chance of it happening.

Thing is from what I knew of (the now deceased) Bernard Manning he could actually deliver a joke and a lot of the material in the later years was about himself. Jim Davidson actually had a fair run presenting mainstream shows such as the Generation Game and Big Break so could obvious adapt to...

Yes, I was fully aware of Mr Manning's demise but thanks for the clarification.

You don't see him anymore. No doubt cancelled by the wokearati.

If cases rocket we might have rules about face coverings reinstated but I can't see it going past that. Another lockdown isn't going to happen.

I am sure, and would expect, there is a plan in place for lockdown in the eventuality of cases going through the roof and hospitals struggling. However it is extremely unlikely it will be implemented.

I would have thought any council owned venue now has to be careful who they put on or the Equality an Human Right's Commission might take an interest.

I decided on the balance of risk it was safe for me to go but i would still prefer the mandating of wearing masks in enclosed public spaces. Not really sure that is too difficult to reconcile.

On the back of this exchange I find you unable to follow a nuanced argument and unwilling to see there is a grey area between locking our doors and not going out again or dropping all restrictions at once.

I have been critical of the government's handling of the pandemic when I felt I had to but actually agreed with every phase of restrictions being lifted apart from the last lot not mandating masks in enclosed public spaces. Sorry for bringing nuance to an argument that doesn't fit into your...

If we aren't going to do anything about it, why are we bothering testing in schools?

Was at work in Leatherhead when the news started filtering through. Back then the internet wasn't what it is now so remember crowding round a monitor to see small video footage. Then went off to the Southampton match, which was a strange experience. In the immediate aftermath you didn't know...

I can only read the beginning of that article but it is describing anti-lockdown, which is a slightly different thing to anti-vaccine, although with some crossover. I have been in and around left wing demos and although there is an advertised caused they do tend to get hijacked by people's pet...

Not saying there isn't any crossover what so ever but I don't recall Piers Corbyn guarding statues or Tommy Robinson having a view on vaccines. The working classes, even if they do have some right wing views, tend to be very protective of our public institutions which extends to the NHS. Your...

I agree that if people take low impact precautions now such as regular testing and wearing face coverings in public places it might very well reduce the chances of problems down the road.

I have a memory from childhood of watching the local tea time news and hearing about the Bear at Bognor Zoo escaping and running amok in the petting zoo.
