The problem with people these days is that they're all too willing to bang needles rather than looking what their grandparents did / ate.

An entire generation that sits on their arse & doesn't eat offal. Another renegade Rat-Lord from the Master pond of scum.

A healthy lifestyle and diet etc is all well and good, it’s obviously to be encouraged as well but that isn’t the one single answer and plenty of healthy people have been impacted by Covid and become seriously ill.

You want to go back to normal, we all do. Getting vaccinated is how we achieve that yet you seem to be against the tool to get us out of this. So not sure what else to say or where to go with it…

Even in New Zealand people break the Covid Lockdown rules:

It's rather sad that the South Island hasn't dropped levels since there been no reports of any community outbreaks and even next Wednesday they are moving down to level 3 with the rest of the country outside of Auckland. I do hope by Wednesday if the South Island is still Covid Free they bring it down to level 1 with no travelling between the two islands. Which would mean the South Island could bring money back into their communities.

The more people injected against Covid the better our communities will become. I'm not saying you have to have the injection that's your choice; what I'm saying is the more that's immunised against Covid the less it will affect our communities. It's been proven less deaths, less hospital beds been taken up, mild symptoms if you're been immunised against it. Plus I feel if Covid is reduced in our communities the less likely it will mutate into something stronger, which could be quite disastrous.

Vaccination against Covid is helping. I don't believe the media is lying about this.

I'm old enough to be a grandparent ( no grandchildren yet ) and I've had multiple vaccinations during my life. They include vaccines against tetanus, diptheria, polio. TB and hepatitis B ( hep B due to my job when I was working). I wasn't vaccinated against smallpox thanks to it no longer being needed, a success of worldwide vaccination. I also don't eat offal because I don't like the taste. I used to eat liver but it is rich in iron and my iron stores are quite high ( proved by blood tests ). edit to add: Over the past year I've had the flu jab, 2 covid jabs and one against a form of bacterial pneumonia ( the vaccine was against several strains of the bacteria ).

My father would have been over 100 if he was still alive. I know he was vaccinated against something because he had a scar on his arm, I'm guessing it was against smallpox. He may have had other vaccinations too. I'd say that a huge number of grandparents have had vaccinations over the past 60 or so years.
edit to add: My mother would have been in her 90's and she was all in favour of vaccinations. She made sure her children got every vaccine that was offered. We never discussed what vaccines she had had but I know she'd have had them if offered.

I had to have the small pox injection before I went on one of my overseas trips in the 70s. I've had numerous vaccinations. Someone I went to school with had polio, I can't remember if me was older or younger than me; occasionally I see him around (not for a few years now). Life must have been bloody tough for him. Vaccinations have helped millions of families have better, safer, easier lives.

I got shingles last year and it was the most painful, agonizing thing, even medication didn't relieve the pain, no sleeping for a week, just cat naps here and there because I was so very tired. Having a Vaccination could have stopped me from having shingles or I could have gotten milder reaction to it. Even 6 months to a year later I was having painful symptom due to having shingles - it's hell, it really is.

Vaccination can be great! Don't knock"em!

Ouch Dong, shingles is very painful. :( I'm lucky and haven't had shingles but its always a possibility once you've had chicken pox. I remember being covered in the blisters that itched like crazy. They were even between my toes. :P
There wasn't a vaccine against chicken pox when I was a child and it was only given to children with lowered immunity when my sons were growing up so they both caught it.

I don't even know how I got shingles?? Over the months afterwards I went to the doctors thinking I had cancer and they kept saying it's from having shingles. I would totally say get the injection; I am going to, it costs a lot of money though.


This is a sad Covid story of a young girl :( I had tears in my eyes, and had to hold back my tears:
