    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    By children I meant the under 12s - your right the short term trials did cover the cohort above that age. Once the stage 3 trials have been completed, yes then the efficacy in children can be reviewed but it would be wrong in my view to inject them before then. As regards ethics, If people...

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    Thats fine for you - but I think others should be given the choice not to take the vaccine if they regard it as a risk to health. Also with regards to pregnant women - its not just for nine months necessarily if they are breast feeding.

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    As far as ethical reasons are concerned - some may have religious reasons for not taking the vaccine, many regard giving the vaccine to children as unethical as there have been virtually zero cases of covid in this age group, and not trials have been undertaken in this age group. Indeed, for...

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    Many of the so called anti-vaxers are not anti every vaccine, and quitre happily take well established jabs for flu, tetanus etc, but have a particular problem with this novel trial of the MRNA vaccine, and have not based their views purely on face book but by reading basic government sourced...

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    Really?, in which case the document issued by the NHS to health professionals who are to administer the vaccines is also bullshit. Here is a quote from it and the direct link to the .gov website for you to inspect:-...

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    Global chipping and glowing arms are probably bs- but I worry that the anti-vaxer smear is used against anyone with misgivings about the efficacy or safety of the vaccines on scientific grounds not because of what is percieved as wacky far out notions. Also, the problem for people who suffer...

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    Would you accept that pregnant women and people on other medications, and those with auto immune deseases might have a problem with the jab as little if any trials have been done on this to test interactions etc? Or is this all bs too?

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    I think thats unlikely as many will have natural immunity, which some would argue is stronger than the vaccine, having already been exposed.

    Of course he could also choose from several other areas which had little or no lockdown and didnt suffer , e.g. Sweden, Croatia, Finland, Texas, Florida, South Dakota

    Abolutely, but the science of COVID and lockdowns is a disputed one and in the main we only hear one version via the main stream media.

    [Brighton] B&H council tax up by 5.1%

    I think the more appropritate metaphor here, rather than describing what actually happens in the economy as a `flat earth' , is to compare the current prerdominant economic belief system as akin to that held by the mediaeval society before Copernicus pointed out that the earth revolved around...

    [Brighton] B&H council tax up by 5.1%

    No its the reverse. Its not my way of looking at the economy its a description of how it works now. Only the government can authorise the creation of money, not us. Money is a creature of the state. Its rather your desire to adhere to this conventional wisdom. In reality all uk government...

    [Brighton] B&H council tax up by 5.1%

    Its not nonsense. Its a fact. Selling government bonds is not "borrowing" in the same sense in which a person borrows iusing a credit card. The goverment cant borrow the money it itself created - nor does it need to. In all countries youve quoted government so called " borrowing" is just an...

    [Brighton] B&H council tax up by 5.1%

    None of this austerity is necessary. Government finance in the UK does not work like a household. National Insurance contributions and Tax do not pay for government spending. The government spends first by keystrokes into its central bank accounts, then taxes. The purpose of taxation is just...

    [Politics] Poll - are our (your) taxes better spent on...

    The question is based on a false premise, namely that taxes fund government spending. They don`t. In a country with a sovereign fiat currency such as the UK, USA or Japan, the main purpose of tax is to make sure that the currency is used, to guard against inflation, and for other reasons such...

    One can but try. After all this a conspiracy thread. Good job I didn’t mention David Kelly, Douma, or the Skripals whoops, just did.

    I was following the game with NSC! Do you not have any sympathy for the many victims of 9/11 who are seeking redress through the courts. Like the Liverpool families they are facing obfuscation from officialdom and even mockery. It’s an appalling situation for them.

    Rule of six and 9/11 families We managed to keep D-day secret didnt we? Some on here seem to suggest those families of 9/11 vicitms and Fire, Rescue and police officers in New York still sufferning from long term health conditions, who are unhapply with the findings of the 9/11 Investigation...
