 Coronavirus - Volume 31 - Manatee
Thank you for your good wishes Mr Smurf. Happy New Year to you.

I implore you to reconsider your choices, I'm concerned for your health. Over 1,500 deaths were reported as due to COVID just yesterday for the UK. Deaths and serious injury by vaccines are vanishingly rare, and vaccines are what account for the virtual elimination of polio and the eradication of smallpox, amongst other benefits, and for that matter a large part of the increase in average life expectancy.

You are quite correct to think that mask wearing will not necessarily stop you getting COVID, or giving it to somebody else, but it will make it less likely - these precautions work at the population level by reducing the rate of infection and almost certainly reduce the amount of virus transferred even if you do catch it.

I choose to follow guidance wear a mask when out of the house and around people, so slavery doesn't come into it. I hope that by doing so I will make a small contribution to reducing the number of infections, and deaths. Perhaps I have saved one or two lives already as my heart consultant thinks I have already had COVID. Think on that perhaps.

I seriously doubt that the government is deliberately exaggerating the mortality, or wrecking the economy unnecessarily. The government is certainly not making itself more popular by doing so. The evidence that precautions are necessary is in the hospitals. The NHS has practically ground to a halt for normal purposes and there will undoubtedly be extra, consequential, non-COVID deaths.

I do hope you will think seriously about this. I shall be having the vaccine because I am much more likely to experience adverse effects from not doing so - of that I am as near totally certain as makes no difference.

Keep safe and stay well.
