We had the "vaccine bus" parked up near my work yesterday.
No appointment required
No NHS number required
No proof of address required
Don't need to be registered with a GP
Only had to prove you were 18 if you look young, and bring your card if you'd already had the first one.
So how is the whole vaccine passport thing going to work for these people then?No appointment required
No NHS number required
No proof of address required

It's things like this that give me hope that the more divisive govt suggestions are just "get ya jab" propaganda and won't come to pass.

Although without an NHS number or address, might make it a bit difficult to have it added to the app that they want to implement
Just wonder if a nefarious character could phone their GP and swear blind they had it at Sim72s place on XX date. As they couldn’t insist you get double jabbed they would have to accept it eventually and add to your NHS record.dmahon said:

They would not have to do that, i would expect they would do the opposite. No proof, no entry to any database.ruggedscotty said:

The second one isn't pro vax. The first is but isn't quite as bad as those saying everyone must get the vaccine or we'll all die and anyone who doesn't should be a societal outcast. It's the compulsion of other people that I find distasteful.
As well, I don't think those who point out that people shouldn't be coerced into getting the vaccines or that given the balance of risk under 30s can quite reasonably not be demanded to do so and for it to be left as a matter of personal choice are being anti-vax.
It seems to the most strident provaxxers anyone who dares question their belief that everyone, their kids and perhaps their cat should regularly jab up gets immediately branded as an anti vaxxer....
Agree - the term anti vaxxer is certainly being used in the wrong context in many instances. Is it because those using the term don’t have the nouse to put up an alternative argument so just resort to abuse? As well, I don't think those who point out that people shouldn't be coerced into getting the vaccines or that given the balance of risk under 30s can quite reasonably not be demanded to do so and for it to be left as a matter of personal choice are being anti-vax.

but again its the same as an anti mmr-vaxer or an anti pox-vaxxer...
thing is its been shown the vaxx reduces the spread - isnt that a good thing ? isnt that something that we need to embrace ?

Probably, but people get the term applied to them as they don't think teens/children need the jab given the very low risk for them, and instead think we should either send vaccines from here, or stop buying and getting them shipped from elsewhere, so they can be used in far more at risk groups in the rest of the world. Others have concerns given there is no long term data. IF something turns out to be bad from it (very low risk but it has happened many times throughout history) then it'll have been a bit stupid to have jabbed everyone possible with it, even those with a very low risk. Given we have jabbed the at-risk here then it could be far better to jab older at risk people elsewhere, and it gives us more time for the long term impacts to be seen before jabbing teens etc. But some of the above gets you put under "anti-vaxx" category for some people, as you're not saying to jab everyone now.
Giving all our jabs away to other countries would be an excellent idea, but only if hospitalizations, hospital occupancy and ICU occupancy weren't all rising. And they're rising despite us still having some restrictions in place. A week ago I said that we've jabbed enough and we just need them to have enough time to take effect, and that's probably true if we wish restrictions to stay as they are, however I want to go to gigs, and festivals and the theatre, and universities need to have face to face teaching and tutorials, and were I thirty years younger I'd want to be chasing totty in clubs.
If you truly believe that it would be better to give away the last 30 million jabs elsewhere, then where should we send them and what effect would it have?

I suspect that we've mostly run out of people to stick AZ vaccine into, hence numbers are good but not great.
Presumably. Second doses are falling away pretty quickly while first doses slowly climb.

If it were just that, the limitation would be people rather than supply and they'd just bring forward more second jabs?
We already have. it went from 11 weeks to 8 weeks towards the end of May. The media is now advertising it...https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/145110...

Serious Question?
If I dont have the 'jab' how am risking others? Apart from taking NHS space - which there is plenty at the mo.
It can't be a serious question.If I dont have the 'jab' how am risking others? Apart from taking NHS space - which there is plenty at the mo.
If your immune system is not prepared for the virus, it will take longer to adapt and fight the virus during which time it could mutate into a new vaccine resistant strain and you pass that on to more people.
Basically you could become the host responsible for another lockdown, many deaths and more months of the crap we are all going through right now. Personally, I couldn't bear that risk however small so I got jabbed up as soon as I could.
