He said: “We're not actually disclosing any of the details around any of the aspects of that agreement and specifically around the liability clauses."

Oh well that's ok then.
Carry on.

when Supermarine invented the Spitfire to save Britain from annihilation they wouldn't have expected pilots' wives to sue if the plane crashed.
how times change, to the extent that a company feels the need to protect itself against the ambulance-chasers.

That's an odd comparison to make. For a start some people wanted to fight in the war like my would have been uncle who died in a RAF plane crash in WW2 and some people were conscripted as far as I know. Why is that similar to getting a voluntary vaccine against a virus which has killed a tiny proportion of the population? Did you fall for the early proper gander which said we were in a war? Or was that that french weirdo leader who said that? It's not a war. It's a virus.

Also the Spitfire was not 'invented'. Just saying.

I guess that the difference is that the Spitfire was manufactured to defend against a genuine and viable threat, not against a re-branded version of Winter flu. I don't believe the general public were legally compelled to fly Spitfires.

I don't believe the general public were legally compelled to fly Spitfires. The general public are not legally compelled to have the vaccine... The rise in litigation over so many things means measures have to be taken to protect firms. Lets face it...the blame culture controls.. Towards the end of my 'career' I began to notice patients coming into hospital with pen and paper..they would document details of their care..take our names..all prepared for their litigation cases. I began to document and keep copies of incidents but even with these measures there were accusations that really had no foundation. Its never the 97% you get right that matters its the occasional blip people remember you for.

If nothing else, this thread has shown that a significant number (a majority?) of members have shown themselves to lack any sense of communal responsibility and, dare I say it, a reasonable level of analytical intelligence.
So sad
From early childhood until I stopped working overseas I have had dozens of vaccinations - everything from mumps to yellow fever with absolutely no negative reaction or side effects.
Why are folk wary (scared?) of this vaccine?
I believe there is a mindset encouraged by social media that nothing can be trusted any more.
It seems like we are entering a phase of anarchy such as is portrayed in many films about the future where the streets are chaotic and dangerous and the population is ungovernable.

Doesn't it merely show we like to chat, discuss, and play devil's advocate ?
As with most subjects discussed here, the reality is very different .
If a reader was to base their understanding of what living afloat is like just on posts here, I'm sure you'd agree they'd be a long way from reality.

Would the panel agree that one of the principal effect of vaccination is to approach a state of herd immunity? Would the panel agree that folk who opt out of vaccination delay or negate that aim? Would the panel agree that folk who opt out should leave the herd?
I have no problem if opters-out live as hermits in self-isolation until the risk is declared over, but why should those selfish folk be allowed to threaten the target of herd immunity, and if we do achieve it why should they benefit from the community-minded actions of others?

I'm opposed to it primarily because it is unnecessary. The human body has an immune system to deal with such things as Covid-19 which, for the overwhelming majority of people, is a relatively mild illness causing no long term harm.

I don't understand the need for you to insist everyone has the vaccine bodgerAs long as the vulnerable receive it, and those that choose to have it, what's it matter if some decline ? Rog

Have I ever told you about the time I was shot?
Make sure your windows are closed so that the zombies can't get in.

Rog I thought that i couldn't have made it clearer - TO ACHIEVE HERD IMMUNITY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. What part of that do you not understand?
You and others may not agree with the various restrictions, and may choose to rely on their own immune system, but the government is committed to going for herd immunity. There may be several different possible exit strategies, but if everybody procrastinates and prefer to go down different routes, none of those routes will work to get us out of this ASAP.
