Unless they were over 80 years of age, they aren't going to get sick and die from Covid anyway so bad luck WPT.

Meanwhile those who choose to have the vaccine have more chance of getting sick than those who don't.

@P4S Please try to read. I asked you what you propose. I know what I would do, what about you? Without quoting articles please.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I think you are confused.
Parrot droppings are used to create phosphate which is used to make fertiliser.

Lucky he's a doctor and not a research scientist - he doesn't have to worry about the data: https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-ri ... -19-by-age

Less than 0.1% chance of dying under 60 if you get Covid, 1% for 60-69 and about 8% for 70-79.

So what was wrong with the claim the young won't die? They don't.

Yet nearly 1% of people receiving the vaccine suffered serious side effects, 80% had mild side effects.

This for a disease that effects 0.1% of the entire population and 99.9% survival rate for most people.

Yet with this vaccine they have no idea how effective it will be, if it even stops transmission nor how long it will even last.

So get a vaccine with an 80% chance of making you sick to protect from a virus that you've got 0.1% chance of catching and if you do catch it, 0.1% chance of it being fatal.

But I can understand those of you in the older age brackets being more concerned.

Professor Eddiesmith: perhaps he is the COVID-advisor to Peter Evans
