Surely you would apply the same thinking to gambling and it’s affects. It’s destroys families and a large percentage of suicides are gambling related.

Deliberately infecting people by refusing to isolate would be more like using drugs then choosing to drive, if you kill someone driving drug affected you should face the consequences!

18 months ago we were locked in our houses like prisoners whether your vaccinated or not couldn't fly, take kids to a playgroung, get a haircut, play golf, go fishing, couldn't even walk around the block! All this while businesses went under and the state racked up the highest debt of any state. How anyone can seriously say that was a justified response has me buggered.

Yet now we are free to do whatever we want and vaccination is now our choice as it always should have been and yet Covid numbers are still climbing and very much present.

My niece is pregnant and fully vaccinated and works at the front desk in a company with 120 employees. She says several of them have been sneezing and coughing and have tested positive for covid yet when asked why are they at work most said they have no more sick days so cant afford to stay home. in other words 12 months ago businesses and playgrounds were closed down as Covid was so damaging and deadly yet now you can legally roam around and infect as many people as you want and the government are perfectly ok with it.

Did the virus change or do the political position on it?  Cant ask Dan as he wont recall.

Knowledge about the virus.

And all the hysteria has gone as well.  Amazing.

Thats not saying the virus is not dangerous, but rather the constant mutations mean that the initial reactions to it (lockdowns) were not going to be sustainable in the long term.

Liam Jones was berated on here for saying how awful and dangerous a man he was to be anywhere our team and he may kill players in the team as he is unvaccinated. Time has proven and clearly shown his obviously safe to be beside 40 of his teammates in showers, dressing rooms etc yet 18 months ago he was looked upon like he would be the grim reaper!

He had the balls to hold his ground on something he believed in despite all ridicule he never swayed.

Good on him.
