Vaccine priority List 10:21 - Dec 2 with 25862 views | itfcpaul | Just been published and looks like the majority of us won't get it for months, maybe even after Spring at the earliest, looks like a long haul to get this vaccine to everyone, that's even if we can get 120 million that we need..... And on a football note, please Mr. Lambert will you leave our club

Vaccine priority List on 08:39 - Dec 4 by 26_Paz | Much of that has been discussed at length in here so I will just respond to the underlying health conditions point. When I say serious underlying health conditions, I mean very serious ones that would have killed a person anyway. Just to use an example a relative of a work colleague was in hospital, very seriously ill, she caught corona in there and unfortunately died, her prognosis was not good anyway, she would have died within a few weeks regardless of corona. I would like to know how many cases like that there are. When I say people with serious underlying health conditions I don’t mean a bit of asthma or a bit of diabetes, I mean people who know they have very limited time left before they catch the virus. Whilst these, of course, are extremely sad and should be accounted for I think it is somewhat misleading to categorise them as corona deaths, publish the numbers and stoke the fear. |
And there we have it. How many people were basically going to die anyway because I want to justify going on a pub crawl. Pathetic. |  |

It's pretty transparent and deeply unsavoury. Some of them might have died soon anyway so it doesn't really matter seems to be his attitude. Anything to justify his right to go to the pub and on holiday. |  |

I wonder if he might have a different opinion on all these things if he was in a higher risk group or had an underlying condition himself? The posts seem to represent a very Pazcentric view of the universe. Galileo wouldn't be happy. SB |  | |  |

Aye, it's been apparent all along and no faux concern or attempts at academic English can cover it up. What many proper patriots like Paz seem to fail to grasp is that many of the people who he wants to condemn to an early grave were the ones who actually put their lives on the line for this country in its hour of greatest need. But of course you have to weigh their sacrifices with the need to go on holiday after a few months because you've been at home watching telly. |  |

That's the other bit of it. He may very well have one or at least have a latent illness that he isn't aware of, like many others. The effects of long covid will also be devastating for many families throughout the world. To dismiss all of this as a mild flu (as the S*n have done yet again this morning) is dangerous and completely stupid. So many entitled and ignorant people about, it's hard to know what to say anymore. |  |

Indeed, Paz only cares about Paz. No empathy for the vulnerable, no real concern for oppressed groups. Paz wants to do what Paz wants to do and everyone else can burn as far as he's concerned. |  |

You seem to have misunderstood the point I was making. What I’m saying is that a number of the Covid deaths, and I’m not sure how large a number that is, were already ‘condemned to their grave’ regardless of corona virus. Therefore, it is misleading to include them in the the death figures. As I said, I don’t know how large a number that is, but I would like to know. I think the public need to know in order for them to accurately judge the risk profile. |  |

What you are actually saying is that you want the figures to be reported differently for C19 in order to make them look better. If those people had died of flu in a normal year then that would have been recorded, why haven't you historically been calling for the way flu deaths in the "condemned to their grave" cohort have been reported. It's just very inconsistent and that leads to people questioning the motives. As for assessing the risk profile, surely the deaths should be recorded in the same way they have historically been recorded for all diseases and viruses otherwise you aren't comparing like-for-like.

No, I haven't misunderstood anything. Once again you are seeking to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic to justify your frankly irresponsible and selfish behaviour. Everyone deserves a right to a good quality of life, whether they are seriously or terminally ill or otherwise. That you seem to think they are disposable is disgusting.

You are putting words into my mouth. I have not said nor do I believe any of that. Of course everyone has a right to the highest quality of life possible and I’m not downplaying anything. What I do believe is that the information I seek is very relevant to allow one to judge one’s risk profile. Slightly off on a tangent but you mention quality of life, my personal opinion is that the quality of life of the 99% is something that has been almost entirely overlooked by those making decisions on this. |  |

The counterpoint would be that if the restrictions had been a lot less stringent then the quality of life for many thousands of more people would be zero as they would be dead. There is virtually no debate now, lockdowns put a stop to the exponential growth of C19. It's not ideal, everyone probably accepts that as well but it prevents a large number of deaths. So once again it comes down to how many deaths you are willing to accept for your quality of life to be "normal" and you've previously said that "you can't put a price on freedom". Surely you can see this isn't a position that a lot of people can accept? SB |  | |  |

I accept it’s an extremely difficult balance to strike. Hopefully the government defies its recent record of incompetence and gets this vaccine rolled out as quickly as possible then there won’t be a debate to have! |  |

“Condemned to their graves” is a very distasteful choice of language Paz. I look at it this way: My dear old mum was given months to live a few years ago. Now had she been run over by a bus then that would have been the cause of death. Not her terminal illness. It would have also ribbed her and our family the last couple of precious months we all had together. Coronavirus has robbed many precious last months loved ones would have had with terminally ill family members. And it’s also an absolutely horrific way to die. Mostly without family members by their side for obvious reasons. |  |

This is like your "can't put a price on freedom" post, I am not sure you see it as insulting but it can be seen that way because it devalues the lives of others for the gain of yourself and others. You've essentially said (when taken with the context of subsequent posts): "those people were going to die soon anyway so if it wasn't C19 it would be something else so we shouldn't be having the restrictions". That implies that you don't really care if they don't get a few extra months of life with their families. Many could find that deeply insulting, especially people in that position. If that's not your intention then you perhaps need to look at how you are formulating your thoughts in your posts. SB |  | |  |

I do care and obviously I wish that none of this was happening. I wish those people got those extra months of life and there were no need for restrictions. My point is a little more nuanced ... what I’m saying is that the balance between restrictions and where the trade off point in terms of acceptable numbers of deaths sits is very much dependent on how many of the deaths had serious underlying health conditions presenting an immediate threat to their life with or without Covid. It’s an awful and deeply sensitive balance to find but that is the world we are living in. |  |

I make you right. Paz will try to deny it, of course, and claim that he does care really, but it's pretty apparent that he doesn't. Paz cares about Paz. |  |

He has made his points and made them very well. I look at things slightly different to him but applaud the way he has made his points. It’s not a case of one poster looking to ‘skewer’ another. It’s an exchange of views, that’s what a forum should be. |  |
