Errrrr... there is a way to be 100% protected against smoking... don't smoke.
So we shouldn't help the person who fell off the building, climbing up to put up a silly sign about their mate getting engaged. It was foolish. And unnecessary. Should we also not help the person who crashed their car because they were texting AND eating a sandwich while driving. VERY foolish. I'm willing to bet a good 1/4 of all hospital injuries are in there, in some part, to foolishness. Do we not help them? Or do we help them, but charge them more than the others, because they were foolish?
Come on... where's your heart, man? Some are born less smart than others, so let's punish them for it, because it makes us feel superior and powerful. And yet we still want to consider ourselves the 'good guys'?
I do love the irony of those who are so anti-mask being of the same ilk that back during the Aids pandemic...
That's... basically the same thing. So shocker, I'm not in favour of that either.
Thankyou for all these stats, very, very informative. I must confess, I didn't realise the EU had an average of only 70%??? That's shocking; I know anti-vaxxers are a big thing in Germany and France but still, very surprised.
The UK is currently at 91% having had their first dose, 84% their second, and 64% having had both doses AND the booster. I will say these numbers (annoyingly) don't say if it is of the entire population, or the entire population
eligible to have an injection (as we don't inject under 12s)
