Although most of us don't really know each other we have this relationship here like a squabbling family and I know it can be difficult to accept what someone says at face value especially if it goes against what you have been brainwashed into believing. So I don't expect any of you to do so but I do expect you as intelligent people to check things out for yourself...
I apologise if you felt that I appeared to be squabbling with you. In actual fact, even though we haven't met, I do care about you and people in general and am concerned that you may put yourself (and others) in harm's way.
I would say that your paragraph quoted above is equally applicable to yourself. Are you sure that you are not allowing those people in the videos you watch to brainwash you?
We are all susceptible to lies, and I've had more than my fair share of being conned.
I do not think that Covid-19 is a hoax. Far from it. I posted previously about an IT teacher that I know personally. She lost both her hands and feet due to this awful disease via sepsis. I have family members working in the health service. And another that worked in a care home until quite recently. They are saying the same as what is being reported on the mainstream media.
I also don't ask you to believe me, go and ask the experts, there must be 100's of doctors who have recorded films about the dangers of the so called vaccines go and see what they say.
You are correct as far as any medication, vaccines included, may have adverse effects in a small percentage of the population. This would also be true of a paracetamol tablet or an aspirin. So, yes, some people that take the vaccine will experience adverse effects. We have to balance that small risk against the effects of contracting the disease. It is an easy decision for me. I will take it as soon as I am allowed to.
I did a Google search for doctors reporting on concerns over the vaccine. Only one leapt out of the results column at me - that of the discredited and struck-off doctor, Andrew Wakefield.
I don't ask you to believe me. Go and ask some people working in hospitals and care homes.
