Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[Bally002]

Come'on mate. We ain't 'dumb enough'.  If we need a booster we would do it for our son.  We don't eat that crap up.  Flu shots were required each year here.  I never took them but this is different.  We gotta get my boy to hospital. If required we would do it.  Don't wonder too much.  

After work today we went to the pub just for a schooner.  It was hot, perhaps 30 to 32 C. We were refused service because me and 'true love' went to work early and forgot our proof of 2 vaccinations.  Shrugs shoulders again.  Okay.  Bought some beers and liquor and went home to drink.  So happily drank at home.  

I can also remember I needed boosters for Hepatitis, flu and cholera, amongst others to work in certain areas.  That was some years ago but I'm still alive.  To prevent Malaria I had to take the pills.  None of this has really effected the way we operate after many years.

Now this, Covid stuff.  If my son dies because we refused the Covid shots and can't take him to hospital; for his treatment.  How do you think me and 'true love' would feel. 

We really don't care about the vaccination requirements.  It won't kill us.  But... melanoma will kill my youngest son and we won't want to be remembered as mongrels because we didn't take to shots and even the boosters.   Kinda like those religious mobswho don't want their own having blood transfusions.  Now that is dumb.   

If that tags us as dumb so be it.  But we're gambling on science at this stage.  If my son lives in the next 6 months I'll let you lot know.

Kind regards as always,

Bally, Truey and Brodie

My apologies. 

I didn't mean you specifically are dumb. I see your situation as more coercion than anything else. You have to get the jab to get the treatments for your son, and as I said above, that's your situation, and the decision you make based upon that needs no justification. I personally might make a different decision, but my situation and yours are entirely different, worlds apart.

You have to make the right decision for your family just as I do, based upon our respective circumstances. My situation dictates that I refuse the shot, yours dictates that you accept it. Different situations, different decisions.

I would, and have, take a chance on dying for my own kids, so I understand the periphery of your situation, even though I am not in your precise shoes, and you have no need to justify your own decisions to me.

I've had to have "booster shots" as well, but never 4 for the same thing in a single year. I still think there is something desperately wrong with that, and still question just what it is they are really "boosting". No other disease I am aware of has required a vaccination AND 3 more booster shots in a single year. Treatments when one has caught the disease, yes, but never as a preventive measure that I know of.

My comments were directed more at a certain class of "strap-hangers" we have here, folks who are taking the jab just to be in the "in crowd", just to be on the "right" bandwagon, and for no other reason. We have a lot of them here. My own ma is one of them. She HAD the covid, and at 83 years old, it was more like a day long mild cold for her, over in a day, and then she went on to take the vaccine anyhow after that - a decision she now sorely regrets, given the damage the vaccine has done to her which the covid never even approached doing. 

Fear of covid I can understand. Medical coercion, requiring the jab to access treatment, I can understand. Taking it to maintain employment, as many are being forced to do here, I can sort of understand - not the decision I would make there, but I am not them, and they have to do what they have to do. My sister, maybe two of my sisters, are among them. But taking it "just because" so that one can be among the cool kids is beyond my comprehension. Your situation does not place you in that category, and the comments were not directed at you.

Again, my apologies for not being clear enough.

All's fine with that.
