[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2403653, member: 365308"] It feels as though there's a lot of pressure on the young to get the vaccine and this makes me uncomfortable. When I am offered the flu jab each year I haven't yet made that decision on the basis that I might pass it on to someone yet I might potentially do so and the resulting illness might kill them given the hit and miss nature of the flu jabs! We used to just stay in bed or stay away from granny when we had the flu or a nasty cold but now we are told that we can pass it on just by breathing in spite of the very weak evidence for asymptomatic transmission (a feature that is apparently unique to this virus and typhoid which transmits via touch). Yet here we are in 2021 and people keep asking if I've had my jabs yet (it is none of their business) which can be either a conversational gambit given nobody's going on a foreign holiday so we can't chat about that or could genuinely change the nature of our interaction. I hope it is just the former but the question is starting to bug me! We are hyper focussed on covid/long covid etc yet I haven't seen evidence that young people are disproportionately affected by it in comparison to any other viral illness some of which can take a long time to recover from and/or cause post viral syndrome. As I understand it the general rate for post viral syndrome is 1% of those who have a virus. I mention the passports because I know it is a factor that some young people are anticipating and in my own notes on my GP app it clearly states my status where it didn't previously! [/QUOTE]
