I don't get it. If you don't want to have the vaccine, fine don't have it. There's no need to

Shouldn't the anti lockdown lot be pro vaccination? Faster vaccination progress = lesser
chance of lockdown being extended further

I think they just don't like being told what to do

HMRC should send some of their finest in there, I wonder how many tax evaders they
would've caught.

All anti vaxxers are anti lockdown, not all anti lockdown folk are anti vaxxers.

I've had my first jab, no issues. However I think the restrictions on liberty at this point are
a complete fucking joke, they aren't being adhered to by anybody, the evidence that any
outdoor events have caused ANY spike at any point ever in this entire pandemic is pretty
much nonexistent.

There is really no justification for any restrictions on outside events at this stage. I
understand it early, whilst we didn't understand how transmission was going to go, but it
is patently clear now, that outdoor events present mininal risk.

a bit late to protest lockdown and vaccination isn't it, that horse bolted a while ago.

Very ironic. These people are the ones who cause covid clusters, cause the stability to spiral
and when there's measures and mandates put in place they repeat the process.

This isn't a protest, this is a nomadic group of mentally unstable homeless people.

Anti lockdown is fair, the vaccinations however are a personal choice and I couldnt give a
fuck whether people choose to get it or not, campaigning against them is dumb

There is more to the story than just anti-vaxers and anti-lockdown protesting.

What about all the new laws that have come in about reducing our freedoms? The right to
protest? If you're not worried about the direction these things are going then I don't know
what to say.

The loss of liberty is something we should all be protesting. The right to say no to the
vaccines is just as much about the loss of autonomy to choose your health care. Why isn't
there a choice for someone to stay isolated if they don't want the vaccine? Why is it have the
vaccine or face social ostracism?

Also, let's not forget that those in power have not adhered to lockdown rules. One rule for
them and one for us. There could have been other options to handle this. We could of had
nominated days where people who didn't want to have the vaccine could mingle with one
another and those that have had it could mingle. Maybe it would have helped with
mutations who knows?

Before anyone jumps on my back I've been isolated since just before the pandemic. I have
only been out for hospital/doctor appointments and to collect my prescription as I have
been unwell prior to this shit show. I'm not vaccinated yet because I don't want to be
outside with others waiting in line for a covid jab. I'm still isolating and wearing a mask. I
just wanted to put another perspective out there.

I would point you to this.

The loss of liberty is something we should all be protesting.

eh, we have the restrictions in place to protect us and other people. these are being lifted
gradually.
The right to say no to the vaccines is just as much about the loss of autonomy to
choose your health care.

no one had or has suggested that you cant refuse a medical procedure. at. all. ever.
Why isn't there a choice for someone to stay isolated if they don't want the vaccine?

there is, it appears you're doing it, might want to rethink that comment.

Why is it have the vaccine or face social ostracism?

its not...
Also, let's not forget that those in power have not adhered to lockdown rules. One rule
for them and one for us. There could have been other options to handle this. We
could of had nominated days where people who didn't want to have the vaccine could
mingle with one another and those that have had it could mingle. Maybe it would
have helped with mutations who knows?

lets not forget lots of people didn't and don't adhere to the restrictions its not one rule
for them and one for us, plenty of people are getting away with flouting the rules.
I just wanted to put another perspective out there.

thank you for that, it is however a somewhat confusing and poorly thought out one
IMHO.
