Surely strengthens our position a little, if it transpires that the instructions from the EFL were impossible to comply with (resubmission of accounts to companies house - there was nothing illegal about the original submission). And the reason they were impossible to comply with is because the EFL are effing clueless and had no idea what they were even asking for

Well I was outvoted and we've had the dog almost a year now.
We had to rehome one of the cats, as they just stopped coming in the house and simply sat at the end of the garden looking disgusted 
I've warmed to the dog a little bit, but he's still a bit crazy
 

 

No - don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with your opinion, I'm just trying to work out where we diverge in terms of respecting people's freedom of choice around vaccinations to being ardently against vaccinating children even if that's the parent's choice
That's fair enough, i'm not especially comfortable with it either, and we will live and (hopefully not) die by our choices. In wider terms I still believe in the right to choose above any personal misgivings over vaccinating young kids
 
 
 

There's a Spinal Tap joke in there somewhere about it going up to 11

How do you square your apparent deep-felt devotion for not doing anything that might adversely affect our kids futures, with your apathetic cynical worldview that it's hardly worth bothering to do anything about climate change because something something China?
 
 

We have to amp up the interest somehow.

Yeah. 2nd worst thing I ever did.?

Hi Mel! ?

I'm not really sure what to get from that data. 23.9% of those with a PHD were hesitant (still a minority of those with a PHD), but next on the list were the supposed least educated (high school or less) with a 20.8% hesitancy. Those with Bachelor's, Masters and EG JD were less than 15% each.
So in each education group, over 75% weren't hesitant to get the vaccine.
It also doesn't say if they have a PHD in medical/scientific fields. They could have a PHD in social work or business administration which would be completely irrelevant.
I'm not trying to push anyone to get the vaccine. I apologise if it comes across that way.
I'm just most interested in the why people don't want it. I read FB (I know, stupid idea) and all I seem to see as a reaction is 'do your own research' followed by links to doctors who hold a minority view.
I'm just curious why people believe the minority view. There doesn't seem to be an answer. Maybe it is political as you mentioned before. Or maybe we are just wired differently.
I had an uncle who wouldn't drink water out the tap. He thought the government was spiking the water. I mean, how do you come to that conclusion? Why would you ever think that way?
 

This post almost makes no sense.
If true, a 2% chance of dying from something is huge, especially when cases get high. 
But this 2% is clearly a pre-vaccine figure, as death numbers are now very low from a huge base of cases.
People aren't giving up living a proper normal life. They are mostly taking the vaccine, which massively reduces their chance of dying from Covid, with negligible risk of bad side effects from the vaccine. Then they are living a pretty normal life again.
But you, and others on here, were pretty anti-lockdowns and are now pretty wary of vaccines...against the tool that enabled us to safely escape lockdowns.
I think I've spoken to 2 people who have said they would not get vaccinated and everybody else has/will. Call it 98% vs 2%.
Most of you vaccine wary people on here have also taken it, but then also criticise Australia for their botched vaccine rollout.
Nice to see you take up the common sense baton @Bris Vegas. Good luck!

I've posted this before, but ya know, maybe, just maybe, it's worth posting again.
There is no case in history of a vaccine causing long-term problems that weren't caught in the first 6-weeks after it was launched.
You are technically tight that they don't know.
But I don't know this post will make zero difference to you, but I'm fairly sure it won't. 

The internet was/is beautiful and decentralized. We never expected people to build something centralized and worse and less efficient on top of it, but that's what the corporations have done as it's how they make their money. It's why Tim Berners-Lee has founded Inrupt to build a better, open web: https://inrupt.com/
I've co-authored a book that I think is important for this, but the literary agent is struggling to get a publisher to take it. It is very revolutionary.

Reviving an old thread I know, but why have we messed up the design of the web so badly?
Tell me this isn't what everyone experiences day-in day-out and we just shrug and accept that's how it is

That's a pretty wild pivot - you seem to have incredibly strong feelings that only kick in when a person's biological age ticks past 18 years old?! Up until then you are strongly against them making a personal decision? If it's because they are minors, surely it's their legal guardian's freedom of choice you should be defending. It's absolutely none of your business
 
The funniest thing for me is seeing people so adamantly believing that "the government" or "the system" has a nefarious agenda in wanting people to get vaccinated, yet seem to have a huge blindspot when it comes to seeing the blatant agendas of those pushing the opposing message. For example, let's remind ourselves that the Icke family's media platform makes hundreds of thousands of pounds per year pushing the buttons of conspiracy theorists. And TalkRadio is owned by the Murdoch family's NewsCorp - Ker-ching all around

We have to argue about something, they closed the politics thread!

Derby Arena Vaccination Centre has now closed. Thank you to every volunteer, nurse, administrator etc who did an incredible job getting them thousands of people through the doors and being so quick and efficient. You've done Derby and Derbyshire so proud. Much love from a proud Derby man ❤
