THE VIRUS 2020 - the good, the bad, and the ugly

There seems to be people on this forum who feel the need to judge others for making observations. Kind of sick of the judgemental attitude and the superiority complex that some people are showing towards others for merely making observations of the world around them anymore.

Do you mean the SAME people who judge me for choosing not to be vaccinated? I believe that vaccination should be a choice and should remain a choice.

Do you mean the SAME people who think they are superior to me because of my choice not to get the vaccine? Those people?

Well the law might eventually judge you for not being vaccinated if vaccine passports become law in Australia.

I am not judging you for you choices. I understand you have been looking at different vaccines and have been looking at making an informed choice and what is right for you. Whenever you have mentioned a new vaccine I have looked into it and tried to learn more. I fully support informed consent. And if that means you have weighed up everything and decided no vaccine is the right choice for you then that is the right choice for you. I know it is a decision you are giving/have given thought and research to and I respect you for that.

I would literally move overseas if I could.

I know that. Just FYI, that post and my original ones were not directed at anyone. (well at least not in writing) In fact I can think of at least 2 or so other people who exhibited the behaviour I am referring to that were the intended targets of my posts. Not you.

ok apologies I was feeling judged

The need to have some protection to travel to NZ for family, and my bosses pushing me to travel to Melbourne were two of the biggest reasons I got pfizer. Where would you move to if you could?

I apologise too. I really should tell people when the posts are not about them. 😂

Fair enough. You are protected now. 🙂 If I had a choice, it’d be between a few countries in Europe and it’d be one way.

I don’t think anyone has a right to think that they are better than anyone else. I find that type of behaviour disgusting.



I’m sure that you had weeks to get the AZ from your GP if you wanted it though?

Have you never thought you were better than someone Affable?! 😉

We might be neighbours then Affable. Would Germany be one of the countries?

Good question.

If I did, it would have been a while ago. This pandemic has shown me the nasty side of some people which has made me reflect on myself as a person. What I learn is that everything should be about individual choice and to respect the opinions of others.

I‘ll give an example. I had an extended family member tell me that they don’t want to see me in the future unless I am vaccinated. I respect that view but if that’s what they want from me, then that’s their decision and I am probably better off without them.

Can’t lie… I am attracted to some German men so yes. 😆😆 That’s my only basis for that, ha ha. I think Austria would be an ideal place to live.

That’s your opinion. I don’t agree but I respect your opinion.

Something I should have added in my last reply to you. An opinion being “stupid” is subjective so what you find stupid, someone else might find insightful.

Then I would consider that person stupid.

Had my first experience of being at a bunnings today and seeing a person walking around with his mask around his chin. I just don't understand why you would bother putting it on at all if you are not going to wear it properly.He had a look that he was just waiting for someone to say something to him so he could start a fight with them.

LOL! Maybe he just finished scoffing down a Bunnings sausage? Which reminds there was a car in front of me the other day and they had a "Bunnings Sausage" sticker on the back window. This thing actually looked like it was a proper sticker made by Bunnings? I was like "What the hell"? I guess they must really love their Bunnings sausage! LOL!

I also see this sort of behaviour all the time there is not much you can do I just always make sure that my mask is always on properly and that's about it. Here's one for you. I have seen the local security guards at the shopping centre talking with some people that they knew inside the shopping centre all wearing no masks at all! These are the people that are employed to enforce the mask rules in the shopping centre and they are flouting the rules themselves... :rolleyes:
 
Just reading about someone who decided to set fire to a drive through testing clinic in Sydney west to "take back the power" from the "covid lies". I imagine this will mean some longer queues to get tested in an area where so much testing is occurring, with one testing site out of commission.
