But that statement comes from a man who argues for 10 million people to be left completely exposed to serious illness from coronavirus. Do you have any idea how little regard I have for your opinions on these matters?

I still love you though.
Ditto
The only difference is my opinions are not simply repeating the "company line"

Or as some might say Making a Silk purse out of a Sow's ear :D
So what I propose leave 10 million people etc., etc exposed on a temporary basis for a few weeks at most ,
but then again what you propose exposes 12.5 million on a permanent basis

Of course if Eugenics takes your fancy, or running a cull of the pleb classes, it could be a winner ;)

Tasers are a wonderful invention. They allow the operator to bring dangerous people under control safely.
What is the thread equivalent?
Anybody remember the Simpson episode where they were all in therapy... Wired up so each could shock others... That might work. Me and OG would be toast... Literally.
Last man standing.. Well last person standing...

We need enforced vaccination. We should have constables out on the streets with dart guns firing vaccine darts into people.
It would be interesting if they carried both at the same time and got confused in a conflict situation.

We'd have a virus free criminal class
And a lot of innocent people that light up in the dark

You would get the same result if you used one on the average rush hour London Underground train!

Dozens of Americans die each year after being Tased by the police. In 2015, at least 50 Americans died after being Tased by the police

In 258 cases over three years, a Taser failed to subdue someone who was then shot and killed by police.

And this shows what happens when they get into the hands of the public
Can I go to jail for tasing someone when they hit me in the first place? or is it self defense ?

Hopefully this will never happen here

Exposed to what? Each day that passes, it’s looking more and more likely that a single vaccination is very effective. After the delayed second dose, we don’t know if immunity will be worse, the same or better than if it had been administered after three weeks. The medical experts who have extrapolated the figures are of the opinion that immunity might be improved by delaying the second dose.


It’s a case of choosing whether to accept the advice from our leading medical experts, or whether to believe what you’ve read in Communism for Dummies.

The only flaw in your otherwise cogent argument, is that the policy was decided on with zero evidence.... Not even a hunch, that it would work. The UK stopped giving the second jab of Pfizer Before the AZ was even a a week released. The evidence starting to emerge showing enhanced protection from the AZ by delaying the second jab is just happening now,and is highly preliminary. . So there is no possibility that Witty et al could know without clairvoyance in January . I have no information on whether the Pfizer exhibits the same behaviour.
