    You can read into it what you want, that seems to be a common trait with lockdown/restriction advocates. If it is primarily there to stop health systems being overwhelmed how can anything but 100% take up of the vaccine by health care professionals be deemed as acceptable. As for sympathy excuse me but spare me that line ok.

    No I won’t explain anything at all. You know very well what I mean about statistics in regards covid. The part regarding conspiracy is just rubbish quite frankly. No one mentioned conspiracy, I’ve never denied covids existence. Shame that you felt the need to drag things back to that bullshit level. Take a look at the latest ONS figures and that will give you all the statistics you need.

    They are though! The news referred to HCWs. The Leicester poll quoted 70% of doctors taking the jab. I will bet you twenty quid 99% of the 30% defaults are because of apathy. 3 of my ex uni mates are GPs. Every dr in each of their practices have had the jab To be honest I care very little if they do or don’t. But how can you be apathetic to something that is being used as an excuse to lockdown an entire country ?? due to its aforementioned characteristics or maybe is it in reality they know the stats for its effects on healthy individuals.

    Nope I guess it isn’t although I’m struggling to get the point you are pushing. but seeing as the country is locked down to protect us and as is quoted often the NHS from this virus and it’s supposed transmissibility and lethality it does seem to be a bit strange that highly educated doctors regardless of their religion are not rushing to take up the offer of a vaccination.

    Not much coverage on the TV but at least somewhere someone has taken a bunch of power hungry arrogant bloody politicians to task for the disproportionate actions that they deemed to be in the best interests of the population.
  8. Couple of times I’ve had to take a second bite on a cut at a log with a bend in it after moving it to allow posts past. Bit of a hassle to re level but often worth it.

    I apologise, my mistake, I misread your post. You didn't ask a question. However I'm sure you were trying to make some kind of point, and it probably wasn't in favour of vaccination, but I may be wrong .................. great news if you have finally seen the light. God you don’t like to be wrong do you but this time yep you are. No point to make just an interesting and surprising feature on the radio nothing more or less. Don’t keep apologising man.

    So you are saying that BAME Doctors having witnessed first hand and knowing the true risks and consequences of catching covid are choosing not to take the vaccine for religious reasons and whatever they see on social media. What question did I ask that I apparently answered 🙄.

    Misread !!! I can’t post the link for some reason but it’s easy to find. That was what the R4 article was about. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Covid-19

    I said a surprising percentage are not. That was the gist of the report on R4 from one NHS trust. Untrue you say ??

    Covid-19

    Drs!!!? How do you mean? You think that qualified Doctors are not capable of weighing up the facts for themselves.

    Covid-19

    Must admit I was surprised myself at the numbers in the report on the radio. R4 at about 0500 ish
  17. Johnsond

    Covid-19

    Couple of interesting points on R4 this morning one being the limited take up for the vaccine by health care professionals from the Black and Asian communities and unbelievably from Doctors themselves, one NHS trust of 20000 employees reported figures of only 37% for the above groups of staff and I think 50 something % for Doctors I didn’t catch the exact % for the Drs as was driving at the time. The other one which sort of gives credence to the attitudes of Unions was the outcry from the union reps about demeaning and humiliating staff etc by the DVLA at Swansea. Apparently they sent out a questionnaire probs part of a risk assessment I’d imagine asking for waist sizes of individuals if above 34 for women and 40 for men. They justified it by quoting the increased risk from covid if the person had an overly high BMI. One to warm big Js heart I’d imagine.

    Those are good rates Mark. I can assure you I’m paying far more than that up here.

  20. As above, just wondering if there is anyone near Turiff that’s doing chainsaw carving.

    To a point Mark otherwise it becomes a piss take as well you know. Nothing in life is free in reality, the further education has to be funded from somewhere 🤷‍♂️

    Higher tax in Scotland Mark 41% after £43350 if I remember correctly as opposed to 40% after £50000 across the border. So whilst Uni is seen to be free to students in Scotland in reality as with all things somebody is paying for it.
