Hello everyone,

How are you today? 

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany) announced on Monday 9 November that their vaccine candidate is 90% "effective" in preventing Covid-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trial, which is still ongoing. 

What do you think about this? Do you plan to be vaccinated as soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is on the market? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

Just checked under what the headline for discussion is "COVID-19 vaccine: What do you think? " I have posted my views many times and people are free to make up their own minds about the vaccines. We are all individuals with different illnesses and views. Personally, I respect everyone has free will, but to want to ban someone who disagrees with your opinion is what you would expect in a dictatorship. Glad that people who had the vaccines have had no serious side effects. I am not anti-vaccine, will take vaccines that have been tested over time and proven to work. Not a vaccine that does not stop you from getting the virus, spreading that virus. just might stop you from getting less ill. [This content has been moderated by an administrator], I am sure nothing like this will ever could happen again haha.......I am old enough to remember when D.D.T , Asbestos ,Nico time Cigarrets for expectant mothers. were recommended  [This content has been moderated by an administrator]. One of your own countrymen said.... “Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.”....... Winston Churchill

Just put in Pfizer and 2009 and google it , before you label it misinformation, maybe the justice department is wrong and you are right?

Everyone has freedom of choice, to get the vaccine to decline, to wear a mask, to isolate. I made my choices to decline the untested vaccine, not to wear a mask, to go out and mix with people and groups, go on holiday. Life is for living, and  I choose not to live in fear. We only have one life and unlike a play, there is no rehearsal.Wash your hands, keep your distance.

Perhaps when planning your holiday visit the DRC and get the Yellow Fever vaccination, otherwise you won't be allowed into the country. 

The same is happening here and UK with Covid passports/ID when traveling in and out of the country, continual covid testing here and other countries both on exit and return.

We all choose not to want to live in fear... Who says having the vaccinations and following the rules is living in fear? We're living our lives the way we want to, just like you are. but remember to 'wash your hands and keep your distance' when protesting which you quite openly stated in another discussion. This certainly is not possible with thousands of people all in such close contact... It amazes me how you can say these words when it's the total opposite. 

Your choice. You only have one life.

Who says I am visiting foreign places? If I was would need a vaccine that has been tested and proven to work, unlike the experimental untested vaccines been given to people, When I read that people are isolating that to me is living in fear People wearing masks out in the fresh air or in the car on their own are really fooling themselves and living in fear. Finally, some people in government want those who are in hospital and not suffering underlining illness just from covid be counted separately, What the health authorities are doing is lumping all those in the hospital who had contacted covid together, so we can get the real figures. Hope you are keeping in good health. Thankfully the temperature has fallen as the heat was hard to work in and to sleep

@mr chipps  Thankfully we have free speech and the fundamental right to express our opinion, Censorship only happens in communist countries or those who would want other people silenced because they do not agree with them, or because they might question their own views. Seems we had this discussion before when people reported my views because I do not agree with accepting [This content has been moderated by an administrator] vaccines, People have different views I have never insulted or told people they are wrong, Funny how you did not complain when people called some of us stupid and silly, but then they agreed with your stance on experimental vaccines, Or when I was accused of false information about Pfizer, when I posted the information from the U.S. Department of Justice. Maybe you should learn the basic rights we all have under a free society, Hope you have a pleasant weekend

Some of my comments were moderated and also a member deleted her comment about me spreading false information about Pfizer. It is okay we all make mistakes, no need to admit you were wrong and apologize to me I do not get insulted or angry or hold grudges. It is all about perception and choice, Someone could insult I can choose to ignore it, Maybe my perception was wrong and they were just challenging me? or they're having a bad day and in pain, or upset. We all travel our path in life dealing with illness, stigma, loneliness, family issues, grief but we do our best, Those people that matter don't mind, Those that do mind don't matter.
