A reader has sent us the following email about older people among his family and friends becoming much more blasé about social distancing rules since being vaccinated. Heartwarming stuff.
My 62-year-old and vaccinated wife took advantage of our bountiful government’s magnanimity and met up with a 70-year-old vaccinated friend for a walk today at a local beauty spot. They mused on the very obviously more-than-two groups walking around brazenly. Her friend told my wife that her husband (70), also vaccinated, has given up on lockdowns and is now routinely visiting his ailing father in his late nineties, likewise vaccinated, on the simple basis that neither of them have time to waste on fooling about with precautions that no longer have any serious validity. Their remaining opportunities to see each other are more important. According to the pair, this is happening on a wider scale, as we already know. Life’s simply too short. Perhaps we have already reached the point of no return? Professor Chris (‘clunk click, every trip) Whitty’s dire warnings today of another biblical apocalypse heading our way over the summer might already be blurring into the proverbial fart in a hurricane. We can live in hope.

‘Life’s too short’. Indeed, so why wait until you are injected with an experimental gene therapy? Forgive my cynicism , but this article leaves an unpleasant taste rather than any other emotion. And its just aimed at an emotional response, it could be part of the psyop, perhaps it is?

“that neither of them have time to waste on fooling about with precautions that no longer have any serious validity”
I think this applies to all of us, vaccinated or not
That’s it in a nutshell.
The Rangers supporters showed the way. Particularly liked the Union Flags…
The ‘fooling about’ was obvious by last May. We’ve done nothing other than a mild Great Barrrington since then, leaving it to others to do as they pleased. Of course – that didn’t get round the barriers that the gullible imposed on themselves – but it was better than just being totally suckered by the government and its Big Pharma satraps.
The hard reality is that, despite the best amelioration, a full year has been beaten to near death, and I certainly don’t have that sort of time to waste in obeisance to a mixture of ignorance and venal dishonesty.
I guess that if the vaccine helps to deprogram the gullible – then – sort of – ‘O.K.’ But my fear is that it’s actually setting up a button to induce further gullibility amongst the susceptible.
‘if the vaccine helps to deprogram the gullible – then – sort of – ‘O.K.’
my worry is that the future government response to any mild new pathogen is going to be lockdown and rush out a vaccine. sooner or later we will be in ‘children of men’ territory
You’ll note I’ve said much the same.
Indeed Steve, let’s just hope people are managing to get some sense of balance back and realise human beings can’t keep on hiding from infections and that being with each other is worth taking risks. I don’t feel I can carryon living without other people for much longer, just strangers smiling in the streets or over hearing other conversations. We need each other
I don’t pay much attention to any of the rules. They lost me at bubble. I feel sorry for people that have not seen friends and family, as I have, but they must be really dumb. Isolate if you feel unwell otherwise carry on.
