Don't beat yourself up so much. Everyone I know activily wants to get the vaccine. It will be a painful part of your life in a few months, and in the past.

Thank you. Like I said, we discussed it the next morning when we'd both calmed down and he admitted to overreacting, but he'd just rather be careful. We've still been socialising as normal in the kitchen the last couple of days/evenings (with a respectful distance at all times) and I suspect that after his outburst he was very embarrassed and wants to pretend it never happened, as do I. He knows I love the cat and would never intentionally put her at risk. Realistically, there'll be more people getting the vaccine than not, so he's going to be the minority and it'll be hard for him to avoid everyone who's had it, but then maybe that'll help him see the light.

Exasperated, not angry.
Hackney has one of the highest number of unvaccinated adults, so it’s another example of them talking out of their arse in every way.

I was in Superdrug earlier and a small boy looked at me and said to his mother/grandmother, 'Why is that lady wearing a mask?' and before I could say something (he was v cute) she announced loudly, 'because the world can't handle something that's less harmful than the 'flu.'
She wasn't wearing a mask and you know when you can see someone being deliberately contrary? Asking the staff a load of questions just to draw attention to mask-free status and so on? Luckily the staff member was behind a screen so she was protected from the mask-free bellend. It was honestly the first time I've seen that round here. I've seen forgetfulness but not deliberate baiting before.

I'd be ok with that but it's really shit that we'll take so much other life with us.

Sadly not, screens offer little protection against aerosol transmission, much like those face shields you see people wearing without a face mask under them, air circulates and will go over & under such screens/shields.

I was in town this morning and saw someone wearing gloves.
I haven't see people wearing gloves since the first couple of weeks of the pandemic.

It has never occurred to me to be in any way anti vax. The vast majority of humanity has been on the side of defeating this virus and its variants, and they (the medical-scientific community) have attacked it with treatments, restrictions of movement, and eventually with vaccines.
People who have been vaccinated are arriving in hospital less frequently and are less frequently seriously ill from the virus. The evidence that vaccines work seems plain to see yet some profess to being anti-vax.
I can't see what these people stand to gain from their position, do they really believe that the overwhelming majority of science is engaged in some confidence trick, or worse that they are engaged in creating actual harm?
And yet as evidenced by the recent march in London, there are a lot of these anti-vax people, and their not being vaccinated presents an opportunity for the virus to sustain itself on fresh bodies.

It doesn't seem at all likely to me. It's the same old apocalyptic hokum that religious pessimists have been pushing for millennia. As for the kittens, without people to look after their needs, their lives would be far less happy.

The absurdity of the Covid-sceptics in this country is that they think it is all a government conspiracy to keep people shut away or fuck the economy, despite the top tier of government having demonstrably ignored scientific advice on multiple occasions and placed the economy above human lives.

I had a clerk today that was wearing gloves to take my cash. What I bought was a pastry. The shop clerk then took the gloves OFF to prepare the food.

This is how the Neanderthal 'could have' died out...a virus or some sort of human homosapian illness. Some crazy flu out break...
Parasites and pathogens
Another possibility is the spread among the Neanderthal population of pathogens or parasites carried by Homo sapiens. Neanderthals would have limited immunity to diseases they had not been exposed to, so diseases carried into Europe by Homo sapiens could have been particularly lethal to them....

Disgusting these Homo Sapiens coming over here from Africa on their rafts and wiping out our Neanderthals. They're vermin: worse than grey squirrels.

That's exactly what I think it is too. Whatever side you take in the debate, I think most of us are all very anxious and worried about what this means four our lives and future, and I can understand why some are thinking the worst. In a lot of ways, the anti vaxxers are also victims, although they don't often come across that way! (I'm talking about the ones buying into the bullshit, not the ones peddling it - the peddlers can fuck all the way off).

Some of our staff can not get a vaccine right now, others are being refuse due to medical issues like diabedtes or heart issues. Causing the boss a head he issisting all teachers and staff get the vaccine. Those who can not get it, I don;t know if the students parents will take the risk of continuing classes with that teacher.

Yeah are you in the UK? Unless very patient and their condition specific nobody should be being refused a jab for having diabetes or heart conditions.
