We will have to agree to disagree on that
Fair enough mate.

They can have a jab. As I said, as a fit healthy 37 year old. I only got the jab so I could go abroad and return to almost normal. You would probably find most others have played this game too.

Not me, fit and healthy and have looked after myself during my life, as have my wife and kids. Seems to only really effect the fatties and over indulged now. We still keep safe though and are mindful of others

Plenty of young people (teens to 30’s) got jabbed largely to be able to travel overseas, you’re certainly not alone. It was the thing that swung it for my teenage son.
Imho individual reasoning doesn’t matter, the more jabbed the merrier.
Macron orchestrated a similar result in France. 10m’s of Covid deniers and Vaccine sceptics suddenly queued up to get their first jab, when the Pass Sanitaire was introduced.
Imho individual reasoning doesn’t matter, the more jabbed the merrier - not sure its a case of merrier it's fairly simple that if 80% of the hospitalised are the unvaccinated (and that's about the average) then we could have a much smaller impact on hospitals & NHS staff if we all got jabbed (yes some will have medical reason not to be jabbed) . So those staff would be at lower risk, they could get their lives back and more to the point get back to treating other illnesses. Unfortunately this government is strong strong enough to deal with the selfish c*nts .
P.S. this is not a dig at you but I think it needed putting stronger.
But I have zero respect for the unvaccinated who’re filling Covid and ICU wards.
I can’t see why those eligible are now refusing TBH. While I didn’t agree, I could understand the safety concerns people had at the start with a vaccine being rolled out so fast, but now I don’t think those concerns can be seen as valid given how many people have been jabbed and how few issues there have been.

I’m just saying I don’t care how and why people got vaccinated. If someone did it to open up travel opportunities, that’s fine by me.
But I have zero respect for the unvaccinated who’re filling Covid and ICU wards.
On your macro point, I’m pleased with our vaccine uptake, 90% of people are decent citizens, even if some did it some selfish reasons. What to do with the unvaccinated? Compulsory jabs with arms held down is never going to happen in a democracy, I wonder how the hell Austria’s going to achieve it?
In my persona view I would prefer things to not happen by force and that people make their own minds up for what is best for the wider community but unfortunately life is not that good or simple.
Rather than have threats of general lockdowns just start impinging on the social life of those that choose not to get vaccinated and by default threaten our society - NHS is in a massive mess and that is a key building block of our society. make sure that heavy fines are enforced where rules are broken.
Interesting you mention the word democracy which in its crudest format (first past the post) would indicate that most believe that we should be vaccinated and I bet if presented with the binary choice of NHS collapsing or Forced vaccination the majority would go for the second option. In the same way a democracy when faced with war on a major scale would conscript people.
In a true democracy where decisions are based on consensus i.e. what is best for all not the individual then there is only one answer.
p.S. hope you are fully recovered

Had to visit the home of a guy who was proudly unvaccinated, telling me I was nuts to have had it, that Ivermectin is a Nobel Prize winning medicine (it sort of is, but for treating parasitic worms, not viruses) and all you need to prevent Covid, which is no worse than the Flu anyway, oh and Nicola Sturgeon rigged the Scottish elections. He and many like him are convinced that there is a conspiracy of one sort or another, and that the vaccines are at best unnecessary, and just a money maker for the Pharmaceutical companies, and at worst altering our DNA for some nefarious purpose.
