RE: Refused Vaccine!!!18 May 2021 08:09
Hi 77, I spent 6 months taking blood and swab samples from people so the government could get a handle on where the virus was and how many people were infected. Some, not many, said they didn't want the vaccine and they were concerned about what it would do to them. Well, that was then (when it was being rolled out) and now, with the millions of people who have had the vaccine with minimal consequences (bit of a headache or lethargy, or in my case a sore arm) the confidence has grown somewhat but has taken a lot of effort from the government in getting specific groups of people to accept that it is the safer option.
There are lots of reasons that some people have declined to take the jab, and in fact, for a small number of people, it would be downright dangerous. I don't know how people can be able to put others at risk by not being vaccinated but I do feel that it a crossing a boundary when we think of forcing people to do something they don't want to. Particularly when the individual has mental capacity and therefor able to make informed decisions. We need to just carry on making the argument that it is the best thing to do for everyone. Stay well, all best wishes, AJ
