The fact you have to ask that question explains a lot, just because someone doesn't get vaccinated doesn't make them an anti vaxxer, but I am not performing the justification dance here, I simply add, I chose not to vaccinate, if you want to you carry on with my good wishes.

The majority of EarthĀ are crackers. To answer the OP: No. Paul Pogba hired a Witch Doctor to put a hex on Mbappe. Next thing we know, the spell backfires and Pogba is injured and out of the World Cup. The problem with witch doctors is that there is always more powerful one who can place suitable counter hex. And with Mbappe's salary, you can (and should) hire quite a few! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We saw the effectiveness of sorcery (sp?) on this very board a few years back with Wizās hexes, which even he admitted wereĀ a bit hit and miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't like choosing to not eating your greens. Do we really need to spell it out? Vaccinations greatly reduce the chances of you contracting COVID, and therefore greatly reduce the chances of you spreading it to others. If you do catch COVID, the vaccine reduces your chances of developing serious symptoms, such as those which could be life threatening, requiring hospitalisation. We know the young, and fit & healthy, can contract the disease and be asymptomatic. But still pass it on to others. Don't you feel even remotely guilty that you could be doing this? Putting the elderly, the vulnerable, people with underlying conditions at risk of hospitalisation or even death? I don't care what your 'beliefs' are. Your actions are selfish, irresponsible and dangerous. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,893 Posted November 12, 2022 Oh, and as for your description of modern medicine being the real 'alternative' medicine. Just two hundred years ago people in the UK generally only lived into their fifties. While the UK infant mortality rate meant that 1 in 3 children died before their fifth birthday. Now tell us, why isn't that still the case? Ā Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 'alternative' discussion is essentially semantics and I'm afraid your points really do not make much sense to me. My point is natural medicine was around before modern medicine, so in essence modern medicine 'replaced' the existing medicine and was thereforeĀ the alternative. I hope that makes my musings clear.

Ulfotto 632 Posted November 12, 2022 No need for Witch Doctors just get Darel Russell back. He was like a living curse and when he left bang good times left just before the Worthington era and then came back after Worthington then left one season into the Lambert era. Good player though.

Cheers Ray The difference is that modern medicine is much more rigorous and provable than old medicine, just look at survival rates to see this... But I don't want to get into a debate about this, I would recommend that you read bad science by Ben goldacre though. I actually just wanted to share this article with you which seemed like a reasonable analogy to your situation https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63256505 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 13, 2022 Hi Cornish Sam, Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your infoš Alongside continuously boosting my natural immunity, longĀ before Covid,Ā I have conducted an untold amount of research from both sides of the fence, which is undoubtedly a many sided fence (if that is possible??) as a result my decisions have been taken based on numerous and multi-faceted criteria, including, but not limited to, this research.
