| France 11:29 - Jul 28 with 1993 views | RonaldStump | New rules in France mean that if a child does not get vaccinated they will n longer be allowed to attend school. Which means they will be uneducated as home schooling is illegal The French won't put up with that!! The streets will be swarming very soon |  |

” France has a particularly high number of anti vaccine morons.” Why do you think that is? Do you think large swathes of the French populace have been persuaded by internet conspiracy theories or is their belligerence a stick to beat Macron with? Personally, I’d lean toward the latter. |  |

It maybe to do with something that we are not allowed to talk about on this forum. Notice I said maybe,we can’t go upsetting the easily offended,can we? They may have another buzz fit and a tantrum [Post edited 28 Jul 2021 15:33]

Nothing to do with either. This isn’t a new thing, it’s been the case for years and years over there. Covid has had a higher take up than most vaccine drives (which is why they’ve 11 compulsory vaccines now - not Covid). Measles is a particular problem recently. According to a French person I know it’s to do with their notion of libertarianism and dislike of anyone, whether doctors or otherwise, telling them what to do. But she also said it’s because we forget how much of the French population is deeply rural and they think it’s all new fangled nonsense. |  | |  |

France has had a few recent issues with medication including a drug called Mediator which led to some 2,000 deaths. I'm double vaccinated but still have concerns about the long term effects of the recently developed vaccines as no one can know what these are, time will tell, as will the full lifecycle effects. I have no issue with those who elect not to have a vaccine, it is their choice in a free society. The alternative is some kind of totalitarian state where everyone is forced to take medication etc. Calling people who make a choice on what is injected into their bodies morons does not help. |  |

I think anti Vaxxers deserve the title of ‘moron’. For they are moronic. And they adversely affect the rest of us. So being contemptuous of them is fine. At least if they are quiet and just don’t get vaccinated that’s one thing. But they spend an inordinate amount of time trying to persuade others not to get vaccinated as well. Look at it on here. And it’s not equivalent. Because them refusing a vaccine affects me. Me being vaccinated has no effect whatsoever on them. |  | |  |

So your friend basically presented you with something of a nexus. A point where the historically, almost exclusively urban, left-leaning tradition of French Libertarianism meets ‘ la France éternelle;’ the rooted, Catholic, agricultural France. I know nothing of French attitudes to vaccinations, I have no insight to offer, but I do find your friend’s observation very interesting in itself. |  |

” The alternative is some kind of totalitarian state where everyone is forced to take medication.” Couched in those terms it’s the classic Totalitarianism of Orwellian and Huxleyan imagination where everything that isn’t proscribed, isn’t forbidden, is compulsory and vice versa. |  |

Here a few more to hold in contempt? Smokers including pregnant mothers, 70,000 deaths a year and 700,000 hospital admissions, adversely impacting everyone else. Similarly heavy drinkers and people who over eat, 50% of NHS activity is avoidable metabolic disease. |  |

Exactly. It is those constantly finding fascism where none exists who are the actual fascists these days. They can't see it though, because they lack wisdom. This is a fundamentally childish society, the entitled self-appointed morality police are, by and large, people who are in a state of 'Arrested Development'. Something happened in the 1960s (...and let's be honest, the thing that happened was the seduction of our youth by the Left) which led people to believe that a life of selfish narcissism and a refusal to take the responsibilities previous generations had 'inherited' and shouldered was just fine...just so long as you said the right words in the right order at the right time, the script of the Left on what is good and right and proper, then you were a good person. Regardless of your actions. It was an induced state of delusion. As a result a large amount of people living in the West have experienced damaged childhoods...trauma suffered in childhood is one of the primary causes of 'Arrested Development'. Previous generations told themselves; "it's just the kids playing up...everyone is stupid at that age...they'll grow up". Well they never did grow up. And now we are in an almighty mess. |  |

Smokers affect themselves these days as they are not allowed to smoke in a way that affects others. Dreadful if they affect the unborn. I agree, The obese are the same. Only affect themselves. You seem to misunderstand me. People can do what they want in my view. As long as they don’t affect others. When they do affect others, they should be either forced to comply (I don’t agree with that) or kept away from people they could adversely affect (I agree with that). Smokers are kept away from everyone else. We aren’t talking financial impact (smokers more than pay enough tax to cover the cost to the NHS) so they really don’t affect everyone else), we are talking effect on health. |  | |  |

I see the French will only allow entry to cinemas unless fully vaccinated. A huge rush from youngsters to get vaccinated. The were only protesting a couple of days ago about their loss if freedom. |  |

Explain to me why someone who hasn't been vaccinated is affecting you if you have been vaccinated? You're not going to die or end up in hospital according to the so called experts. If you don't want to mix with vaccinated people who exercise their god given right not to partake, then you can exercise your god given right and stay at home and isolate for the rest of your life, i'm sure you won't be missed. |  |

What a load of nonsense. Smoke lingers for many hours, and therefore someone who enters a smokers home for example, ie workman/woman would be breathing in potentially lethal air, and this is perfectly legal, just like it’s perfectly legal to smoke at home, even if children also live there. Also you are wrong when it come to obese people. How much NHS time, money and waiting list is clogged up with obese people, and the knock on effect being people who look after themselves, potentially dying as a result of not receiving the treatment they need.

Absolutely. I’ve been saying for many years that the NHS is a money monster that will keep on swallowing billions upon billions of extra cash and it won’t make one iota of difference. To save the NHS people need to take responsibility for their own lives. |  |
