Antivaxxers

Scorn? By reporting the results of almost every survey that has been done on the demographics of leave voters?

Maybe there should have been a trigger warning.

Gosh, correcting people's spelling Shinamae?

In the context of what varian wrote,yes I did correct her spelling!! Pouring scorn on poorly educated people!

Clearly my post means nothing Shinamae I am quite sure Varian spelt the word remain incorrectly due to predictive txt, fast typing?

We do not need to prove that more poorly educated people voted Leave than voted Remian

That has been conclusively established.

Well I am “poorly educated” but can spell the word REMAIN!!!

Remain. So upset by it all.

Has this been the plan all along? Divide the country? I am friends with people who voted leave and for Brexit. I am friends with people who have had the vaccine and those who haven't. I have not allowed myself to be 'divided'.

It might have been sensible had it been true but bre it has made most of them worse off just as predicted by "project fear"

It kind of begs the question

Did they vote Leave because they were poorly educated and didn’t understand the ramifications

Or did they vote Leave because the poorly educated were the group that were seriously disadvantaged by our membership of the EU

In which case they voted for a better life for themselves and their families. Which was quite sensible from their point of view.

I only know one person who voted Leave - my younger son who has a Phd. He has been vaccinated. I know one person who hasn’t been vaccinated - her decision, don’t know why - but I’ve no idea if she voted Leave or Remain. I suspect the former.

Someone on another forum that I’m on is anti vacc’s, anti mask, thinks covid isn’t real and that Nigel Farage is the greatest PM we never had.

Wondering how many people who are hard left are anti vaxx? From the stupid protests on the subject I would frankly say there are more of them than Brexiteers - everyone I know, Brexiteer or Remainer, has been double vaccinated. This is because I do not associate with idiots - regardless of political beliefs! Its a ridiculous comparison either way.

From what is currently in the news there are more Antivaxxers in Europe than here.

I think calling all people who decide not to be vaccinated anti vaxxers is lazy thinking. I have had my vaccinations and will have my booster on Saturday but that was my decision weighing up my age and the fact that I'm overweight so more likely to get quite ill or die. However others I know and respect have done the same and decided it was not for them but were happy that those who wanted it have had that opportunity. I 'm horrified by some of what I hear proposed, how can you possibly make someone put something into their bodies they genuinely don't want or drag them off to some sort of gulag for goodness sake? People can still catch it and spread it vaccinated or not and when you think of the number of people in this country alone who must have had it and recovered the actual death rate must be falling quite rapidly I would have thought.

And what good has it done you varian.

You will find that many of these questions in surveys are loaded, you are given a choice and the choice you make is probably not what you would personally choose. You are not given the chance to reply using your own words, that would spoil what they are trying to prove. Please stop trying to prove that anyone that voted for leaving the EU is poorly educated. One more thing, as my teacher used to say "please read through your work before you give it in", some of the comments make little sense because no-one bothers to check what they've written!

Well I'm sorry Galaxy, but what are we supposed to say to someone who doesn't understand it? They don't understand it. I'm not making stuff up. Its been explained and explained and we still get people saying that they're Brexit voters who have been vaxxed so its obviously all rubbish.

I don't have the patience any more.

It's worked brilliantly politically in England though hasnt it. Using phrases such as 'for those who dont understand it' has been an absolute triumph in securing a government that supports the most vulnerable. But let's keep doing it. Let's keep telling people they are stupid. Whats that saying about doing the same thing over and over again and wondering why you get the same terrible results.

You might be getting excited about it, Alegrias1

But I'm not.

And I didn't vote for Brexit either.

Refusing the vaccine has nothing at all to do with Brexit.

How can it be?

There are idiots in all parties and all walks of life.
The fact that 2;000 voters thought otherwise won’t swing it for me.

I know Zoejory. I pointed that out on page 1.

Still getting excited about it though aren't we? Especially Brexit voters who are desperate to tell us its all rubbish because they are vaccinated.

Anecdotal again but I knew a few people that said they wouldn't want the vaccine. People in their 40s/50s. Some were saying they only wanted the Oxford jab, (No idea why). Others worried it had been rushed through etc etc

However as time progressed they all decided it was for the best

It was from February though, Alegrias1

We'd only had the vaccine a couple of months

Well I voted leave and feel I'm well educated, as are my husband and two children. We are all vaccinated and are, for the most part, happy to have our boosters. I do get annoyed by people who voted remain who have a holier than thou attitude and blame everything on leaving the EU. Vaccines save lives. O can understand how some people are hesitant on getting the vaccine for covid, or anything else, it's their choice - the last time I looked we live in a democratic country (although I do wonder)
