I reckon there are a couple of things Anna ... here are what I think some of them are:Firstly there are so many things that are wrong in the world, you can't set all of the world to rights.You'll remember the infected blood scandal ... that's been going on for years, I think most people will think the whole thing was awful, but didn't get involved in any of the campaigns.A proportion of those who didn't take the vaccine are what I would call conspiracy theorists like you and Michael. I have no idea what proportion of those who didn't get the vaccine hold similar opinions to you. 10%? 20%? 50%? Whatever the proportion is, you think the vaccine causes cancer, you probably believe in a world wide cabal, you go on about Epstein, told us how Trudeau would flee to Ukraine (still waiting for that to happen by the way) and I reckon that the other "conspiracy theorists" 'think' the same way.Like I said previously, I don't want to go to a protest where I am surrounded by conspiracy loons spouting crap.I frequently walk past a person holding a sign saying that everyone has had a microchip implanted in their brain by the secret services. I asked him whether he had one in his brain, and I credit him with logical consistency in his answer "Everyone has". That's one loony - why would I want to be surrounded by 100s of them?And the vaccine skeptics/conspiracy theorists are the ones most likely to go to these protest meetings because it goes with their agenda.Like I said, I have friends who choose not to take the vaccine, and none of them seem to be conspiracy theorists, and none of them (as far as I know) have stood up and shouted for those injured by the jab.There was one person I knew around the start of the pandemic, and she was a bit off her head, and she was going on about the vaccine and how it would mean that young women who had taken it wouldn't be able to have children. Well that was a load of tosh wasn't it?

I wasn't forced to take it, I chose to. I know people who chose not to, and I've always defended their right to choose whether or not to have a vaccine. One of the few things I agree with Donald Trump about is that people in the US who lost their jobs because they didn't take the vaccine should be compensated and get their jobs back.The fact is that the mortaility rate per 100,000 has gone down after it went up during the pandemic.So, if you are still alive now, the outlook mortality wise it looking rosier than it was during the pandemic.The fact that some people died after taking the vaccine is tragic for their families, but plenty of people are alive today who wouldn't have been if the vaccines hadn't been developed.I do know people who ended up in intensive care who hadn't taken the vaccine, and contracted Covid well after the first vaccines were widely available. In their intensive care ward, out of the 15 people who were in there, they were the lucky 2, as the others all died. The common link of all 15 was that none of them had been vaccinated. Maybe it was the treatment they received, but I can't help thinking that there was some connection between their vaccination status and the fact that over 85% of the people in that ward died.Are you disputing that the mortality rate in the UK has (post pandemic) fallen to a new, record low?And no, I won't be at the rally on Sunday. There will be some people there supporting compensation for those who suffered complications and issues from the vaccine, I've no problem with that, but there will be the usual circus of conspiracy loons, and why would I want to listen to them peddling their crap?
