Well, this has certainly been an interesting thread....sort of. I haven’t read through each page but comments seem typical of the topic. Since we are all sharing our thoughts here are mine. I have (luckily) avoided covid...so far. I have done this by being vigilant about wearig a mask and avoiding crowded places (like the scientists said). I have actually switched from being an ardent supporter of going to the office to embracing working from home. I didn’t think I would like it but to my surprise I have found that I love it!

For those who don’t want to get the vaccine, think about this (the operative word being "think"). Is the source of information you are using better than the scientists who developed the vaccine? I find it funny that some will shun the vaccine (which is FDA approved) for horse dewormer that is not FDA approved (for covid). Consider that polio has been juuuuust about completely eliminated from the planet due to vacciations. My mother-in-law took her last steps at 11 years old. She has spent the remainder of her life in a wheel chair. Oh, and scientists developed that vaccine as well. Here’s what gets me. 750,000 people have died from covid in the U.S. and we have people fighting against getting the vaccine. 3000 people died as a result of the 9/11 attack and we engaged in two wars and changed our laws to allow the Government to spy on us, which we learned from Edward Snowden. Hmm, I just don’t get that. I work with a guy who is 29 years old, works out every day, and is very healthy. He almost died from covid! Everyone in our office thought we were going to lose him. He was unvacciated of course.

For those who shun the vaccine; I would like to attend an audio show because I have never been. Based on what I have read here I probably won’t anytime soon because those of you who remain unvaccinated create too high a risk level for me. Despite all of this typing I suppose I won’t have changed anyone’s mind so this is potentially a fools errand. I implore you though. Do the right thing and get vaccinated. Just do it and help make us all healthier. Oh and my power cord is better than your power cord 😆

My wife and I (both Pfizer vaxxed) just developed covid. I was eligible for the infusion therapy and it was well worth it. We basically had minor flu symptons. My brother, who is Mederna vaxxed and a Booster Shot just got Covid as well. Same, minor flu symptoms.

I believe the Vaxxes plyed a big role in keeping the symptoms minor. Before Covid, I would have continued, with the minor symptoms I had, to work except for the one day I had a fever. 

The only thing about the infusion therapy is I cannot take the Booster for 90 days.

'Most vaccinated' place on earth cancels Christmas

More than 118% of Gibraltar’s population are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, with this figure stretching beyond 100% due to doses given to Spaniards who cross the border to work or visit the territory every day. Masks are still required in shops and on public transport.

The initial vaccine campaign on the British outpost came to a conclusion in early spring 2021, with a large proportion of the population fully inoculated against Covid-19. It became one of the first places in Europe to reduce restrictions following a winter of lockdowns, in what was dubbed ‘Operation Freedom’.

Gibraltar is currently doling out booster doses to the over-40s, healthcare workers, and other “vulnerable groups,” and administering vaccines to children aged between five and 12.

Similarly well-vaccinated countries have also reported surges in Covid-19 infections recently. In Singapore, where 94% of the eligible population have been inoculated, cases and deaths soared to record highs at the end of October, and have since subsided slightly. In Ireland, where around 92% of the adult population is fully vaccinated, cases of Covid-19 and deaths from the virus have roughly doubled since August.

yuviarora- Do you know what RT stands for?....Russian Television

Thanks for pointing that out @coachpoconnor. I was going to do the same. Being vaccinated doesn’t mean you won’t get covid, it just drastically reduces the symptoms. That’s why I am still being cautious. Here is a comment about Gibraltar from Newsweek...

"The Government said in a statement on Friday: "Given the exponential rise in the number of cases, the Government for example intends to cancel a number of its own functions including official Christmas parties, official receptions and similar gatherings.

"The public, at this stage, are ultimately called upon to exercise their own judgement in this respect bearing in mind the current advice given.

"It will also become necessary at this point to make sure that the use of official premises is carefully scrutinised and where necessary events are postponed to a later date."
