Vaccine Passports

[-SharonA-]

Are you in favour??
The way I look at it, I can understand businesses & shops wanting to protect their customers, but to me the unvaccinated are taking the biggest risk.

bluemoon has a very good point (or at least, one I agree with) :)

[Prudie]

"If someone has a genuine reason for not wanting the vaccine what are you going to do about it ? Ban them from shops, public transport etc?". Why isn't there the same sympathy then for those who don't or can't wear masks?

[aelmpvw]

surely we're not saying that sixty odd million of us are going to have to carry yet another card because the minority aren't vaccinated?

There is, at least fom me.

[Prudie]

There may be from you danny but for millions there isn't . Most shops make masks mandatory now whereas in the earlier days they were preferable but still optional.

[bluemoon1]

Which one do you disagree with bednobs?

[dave50]

Also the restrictions should not be extended to accommodate the anti vaxxers.

[woofgang]

prudie, I don't think shops can.

[Zacs-Master]

danny, what do you consider a 'good reason' not to have one?

[dannyk13]

ZM. some people have really bad reactions to any vaccination.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes, absolutely, nothing new anyway, just enhance the current system, sorted.

I wonder if those refusing the vaccine are aware of how selfish they're being. Yes selfish as it will be them that may catch covid and keeping it going.

Genuine reason for not wanting the vaccine? There are genuine reasons for not being able to have it that's a different matter, not wanting it shouldn't be an acceptable excuse. We dont know if the vaccine will prevent transmission, the research isn't finished. This vaccine may not, but the next one might. I am sorry but there are there reasons by people don't take the vaccine, medical contraindications, selfishness, or being taken in by some rubbish they heard, read, or imagine.
Mine's tomorrow and I am very grateful for it.

[dannyk13]

Sharon , selfish? See my link above.

[ToraToraTora]

people with valid medical reasons will get a "passport" that's not the issue. Personally I'd make everything need a QR code to get in, end of. If the morons want to go and live in the woods with their tin hats then be my guest. Blue moon talks absolute horse guano. end of, next....

By the way I usually have bloody awful reactions to vaccinations but that's something I am prepared for.

rowan: "Genuine reason for not wanting the vaccine? There are genuine reasons for not being able to have it that's a different matter, not wanting it shouldn't be an acceptable excuse." - bang on.

I am talking about those who believe all those conspiracy theories about the vaccine!!!
