Regarding the survey which considered that people who discourage others from having a coronavirus vaccine are “selfish” and “stupid”. That’s unfair – especially to label them anti-vaxxers.
Some are apprehensive about a vaccination bypassing the lengthy tests usually required for any medicine. Since this has not been in circulation for long, nobody can claim what, if any, long-term side effects there will be, only time will tell.
These people think like this because they care what might happen if the vaccine has not been fully tested.
Others are wanting to take the vaccine because they too care what might happen if they don’t.
It’s not like the movies where the death rate is 99.99%.
I am fully vaccinated, as are my children, I am both apprehensive about long-term effects and wanting to protect myself and everybody else from the virus.
People need to stop arguing and understand that both sides are coming from a concern for the good of the people.

Soap stars at Garlogie
As Coronation Street reaches 60, I remember the stars coming to open the stock car racing at Garlogie.
One of my uncle’s sisters ran the Garlogie Bar. Her nan was Nan Allan and she would entertain the stars who appeared in the bar.
Top was Annie Walker who toured the racing circuit in a Rolls Royce. Others who appeared were Stan Ogden and Albert Tatlock.
Robbie Shepherd was the commentator.
Do any readers remember Coronation Street stars coming to Garlogie or other parts of Aberdeen?

Teachers fail
Teachers should not get two days before and after the holidays because blended learning doesn’t work. If I was still working and said to the bosses I want extra time off, I would not be paid.
ER.
