  1. I’d certainly ban people from sharing dangerous medical misinformation. If somebody was sharing ‘information’ that the Britains economic problems were really all the Jews fault or that standing near black people for too long gives you cancer, would that be acceptable on social media? They just have an ‘alternative opinion’ right? No, of course not. That kind of nonsense has no place in a civilised society and neither does dangerous misinformation. Your second paragraph is incorrect too. What it’s about is the fact that he has no medical expertise whatsoever and yet he’s daring to suggest he knows more than some of the cleverest people in the world who’ve spent decades researching immunology in laboratories, with actual evidence and actual science, collecting actual data.
  2. Yes they will, that’s the problem. Maybe not him individually but there are people out there who fashion their lives around sh*te they see on TV and social media. There are people out there who just don’t identify with crusty old doctors and professors in whatever, who are much more likely to listen to a footballer, a page 3 girl and Gaz from Love Island. You say people are unlikely to be swayed by the likes of Tiss and yet here he is, right in front of our faces, believing nonsense from random, anonymous Twitter accounts.
  3. If anyone thinks Tiss is simply asking the questions, which need to be asked, with an open mind and an unbiased outlook, this is the kind of tripe he is currently retweeting. The guy wont even accept that COVID exists as an airborne pathogen and we're supposed to listen to his medical 'advice'.
  4. The problem is, he’s being in no way objective about it. He’s just determined for it to be about vaccines causing long term heart failures because it fits his agenda. When people point out that some of the examples he quoted weren’t even vaccinated at the time, he just blanks them. When some random account quotes stats about, "a 300% increase in myocardytis," (yes, it was spelled incorrectly) he’s all over it like a rat on a pork pie, despite myocarditis not actually being diagnosed and no actual evidence being provided of anything.
  5. I really hope the driver was having a fag.
  6. I suspect we might be seeing football suspended temporarily anyway, the way infections and the number of postponements are rising.
  7. My ski trip in to the French Alps isn’t looking too good.
  8. Well my optimism lasted all of two min… ah f**k it, who am I kidding. I was never optimistic.
  9. Decent enough team on paper, glad Broja is available.
  10. Imagine if that match at OT ended up being your only game in professional football.
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-59666409 Reading some of those tributes is absolutely heartbreaking, remembering that Jim Davidson is still alive.
  12. I know but I went out and got my vaccinations so now I'm allowed out the house and can basically do whatever I want. God I'm so stupid, I really should've thought this through first.
  13. I sometimes wonder what he'd have been like in a decent team. What if Koeman had him instead of Shane Long....
  14. That's an opinion piece which provides no data whatsoever regarding viral load. It just make haphazard reference to obscure numbers of infections. The only people scared are those who refuse to get vaccinated because of a blood clotting risk comparable to if you ate a Ginsters pasty.
  15. You mean this article which states they might be similar but also that the chances of spreading are overall lower as the vaccine helps you fight off infection much faster overall? https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00648-4/fulltext
  16. That’s the target but I’d be highly surprised if the cut off for the passports is having a booster by 31st December. There are people who will be going away for Christmas who won’t even be back home until the new year, they’ve got no chance of getting jabbed before they go away. They will probably give people until the end of January or some other arbitrary line in the sand, to give everyone a fair chance.
  17. Fine, I’ll just have my annual, festive danger w*nk in Sainsbury’s photo booth.
  18. 🤨 I thought my Police record was supposed to be kept confidential.
  19. Right now the benchmark is set by Elyounoussi so I’d take even a half-arsed Dele Alli.
  20. I shall sacrifice three goats to Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
  21. Is that such a problem for you? 15 minutes every six months to protect your health and stay out of hospital. Nobody has said anything like that yet and if they did what’s your objection? Correct. Your goofy emoji does nothing to invalidate that statement.
  22. Are they not being done by volunteers any more then? My second jab was in a branch of boots back in September, I doubt I inconvenienced anyone on an oncology ward.
  23. Correct, it was completely botched, I was just pointing out why they allow lapped cars to overtake.
