@Fox As selective quoting changes the meaning of the post and who it was in answer too.. The post was aimed at someone in particular and to them. Selective quoting alters the meaning of the post. Therefor contradicts what you posted with:
My point was don't encourage people to do this, it's irresponsible. If everybody did it, it would be impossible to run vaccination centres
Did I encourage or just say to one person who wanted to jump the queue that he could do that.It would be impossible to run vaccination centres. My work runs a vaccination centre
Does your vaccination center use up all of the allotted vaccine? Does your center have a 100% attendance?
Finally, why not comment on the forum members claim to have covid symptoms to get tests, as that is abusing the system.
Do you understand the difference between gaming a system and deliberately defrauding a system? Or are they the same to you?

Drink driving and driving at 60 in a 30 aren’t the same either...

Your post may have been aimed at someone in particular, but everyone could read it.
If you're going to suggest stupid things that everyone can read, then quite rightly you will get called out on it. It's not like it's a one off, I seem to remember you recently thinking out loud about whether you could 'nip' off to France then return without self-isolating, when travel to France is illegal and you are legally obliged to quarantine, but also it's fucking obvious that there's a moral imperative there too.
I do understand the difference between gaming a system and deliberately defrauding it and guess what - yes they are the same to me in that I would find doing either unconscionable during a global pandemic.
On our vaccination centre: no, we don't use up all of the allotted vaccine and we don't have 100% attendance. You wouldn't get either of these at any vaccination centre in the country, but ours is in the most deprived area of London, which has a 69% minority ethnic population.
You may have heard in the news that uptake is worrying low among these groups, which is ironic because they are most at risk of being hospitalised or dying from Covid. So our priority is vaccinating these at risk groups. Like everyone else running vaccination centres, we haven't been given a proper plan for how to use up the leftover vaccine by the Government/NHS, but we're doing our best.
Either way, having a bunch of worried well turning up to try and game the system would be deeply unhelpful and it's not going to work either as so far if we can't find people from the appropriate groups in the local community they have gone to our staff, many of whom are essential/key workers.

Why would I quote the rest of your post?
The first sentence was about how some of your friends have gamed the system to get the Oxford jab. The rest was a rambling edit presumably aimed at @Sifta
Neither had anything to do with hanging around vaccination centres.
Either way, I'm fairly sure I get to decide whether to quote a whole post or not.
My point was don't encourage people to do this, it's irresponsible. If everybody did it, it would be impossible to run vaccination centres. My work runs a vaccination centre and if anyone does come and hang around it like a creepy weirdo it's very likely we'll get security to escort you off the premises.
