Not Me

Everyone over fifty to be offered the jab by May according to Mad Handjob.

Everyone over 50 will be offered a Covid jab by the end of April, ministers pledged last night.

The ambitious timetable means vaccinating 32 million Britons – six in ten adults – within 16 weeks. Two million jabs will have to be given every week in the ‘greatest logistical challenge of our time’.

I refuse. Mostly for the same reason I don’t bother to have the flu vaccine – it’s likely to be a pointless waste of time. Already they are acknowledging that the new strains are likely to be unaffected – so much like flu then.

The actual likelihood of catching this virus is low, despite the scary headlines. If I do get it, the likelihood is that I will have a nasty couple of weeks in bed but I’m unlikely to die.

I will not, under any circumstances whatsoever take the Pfizer vaccine as I object to being part of an experiment.

However, the main reason is that this is one of the few ways that I can kick back against what is happening. There are so few opportunities to dissent, I’ll take what opportunities there are.

It comes to something when refusing a vaccine is the only way of making a point – even if no one is listening, but I’ll take what I can.

  1. I’m 49. I’ll be 50 at the end of May, and so I don’t know when I will be ‘offered’ the vaccine.

    I’m no ‘anti-vaxxer’. I’ve had vaccinations at secondary school and before that as a child/baby. But I will refuse this vaccine. I will not be a guinea pig for their untested vaccine. Who knows what the long-term side effects may be?

    I’ve been wondering what kinds of sanctions might be used on people who refuse the vaccine. As I was made redundant last July because the company I worked for for over ten years became insolvent thanks to the coronavirus, it occurred to me that one thing they might do is stop the benefits of anyone refusing the jab. I wouldn’t put it past the bastards. It’s probably something they’ve considered.
