Nice work.

Question, of the people who've had the AstraZeneca shot, has anyone had a bad experience?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

thats the thing though, its not about me, I or you, its about everyone, people who do need it, just as the polio vaccine, stamping out something that will kill the week, and sometimes seriously main the not so week. this world is far too selfish, so no, AJ may not need it, but maybe think of the loved ones, or just anyone else that does need protection.

Although comparing the Covid shot to a genuine vaccine ignores the fact the Covid shot is more like a flu shot, it won't stop anything but potentially reduces the risk and will probably need annual boosters.

We're always likely to have a decent number of people who don't get vaccinated despite having opportunity.

That's their choice, but it comes with consequences.

At some point the country will open back up, restrictions will be gone, and that won't be delayed because of the number of people who choose not to get vaccinated. They'll have had their chance.

Vaccination passports are also likely meaning those who aren't vaccinated will have less liberty than those who have been.

The world we knew pre Covid is gone, stuff will not be going back to what it was, period.

I'm too young

Mums had her first AZ dose, me and my sister aren't eligible and my grandmother doesn't go anywhere so doesn't want it.
