It's time we took the plunge and declared all establishments over a certain size will need proof of vaccination.

[Ken4155]

TTT, i would rather see spectators being asked to provide proof of a negative test. Bing double-jabbed doesn't prevent one catching or spreading the virus.

[ToraToraTora]

testing is largely pointless now. Vaccination is what matters.

[Ken4155]

Disagree.

[Theland]

I support vaccinations, but big government should not impose conditions.
Its a matter of freedom and balance.

[burlyshirley]

I support vaccinations, but I also support the right of those who don't want them, for whatever reason.

[ToraToraTora]

ok ken, what use is testing? Most of us probably have it for a few days until the immune system kicks it out, what's the point? You'll end up stopping people going into places when they are vaccinated. The virus isn't going away, it's severity is.

[ToraToraTora]

Shirley: "I support vaccinations, but I also support the right of those who don't want them, for whatever reason. " - so do I but I don't want them mixing with me.

[burlyshirley]

Why not, if you've been vaccinated ?

[Theland]

Those who have not been vaccinated should wear a pointy hat :-)

[Ken4155]

It is as i have said, TTT. Two jabs don't mean you cannot catch and spread the virus. So let upwards of 20 0dd thousand doubly vaccinated spectators into a stadium and the chances are you could be helping to spread the virus even further. However, if all 20 odd thousand + spectators have proof of negativity.....................

[ToraToraTora]

"Why not, if you've been vaccinated ? " - because we should be playing our part. Most of us are doing our bit so the THB can go and found a commune or something.

[ichkeria]

Yes if you are going to be asking for anything it should be vac not test.

[ichkeria]

Requiring people to take a test all the time is simply impractical going forward.
,
I think it’s been shown that there’s sufficient inhibition of the virus by the vaccine to make the risk worth it.

[ToraToraTora]

bang on ich, frankly I don't see any reason for testing to continue beyond a few medical situations. In the end we will all have it on and off like we do the common cold.

[bobbinwales]

My understanding is though you can still get covid your less likely if you have it to suffer badly from it and often have no or mild symptoms, Your certainley less likely to be coughing and sneezing over people but clearly if your talking in there face you can pass it on. As football is outdoors in the fresh air though am not sure why its a prioraty for vaccine proof.

[tomus42]

As long as you've been vaccinated (ie protected from the disease) why would you care who's been given the same opportunity and chosen not to take it. I don't.

[Canary42]

/// I support vaccinations, but I also support the right of those who don't want them, for whatever reason.///

Do you support the urban speed limits but also support the right of those who don't want to, for whatever reason.

[New Judge]

//Do you support the urban speed limits but also support the right of those who don't want to, for whatever reason.//

Top contender for this week's "most inappropriate analogy" prize.

Compliance with speed limits is mandatory. Having a medical procedure (which vaccination is) is not.

[bobbinwales]

Not a fair parallel canary. Other drivers who speed could cause injury to Tomus who drives within the limit so he would'nt feel safe on the road. Tomus is saying he feels safe when surrounded by unvaccinated

[jourdain2]

I support bobinwales and New Judge. What will it take to remind people that we are free to choose --- or are we not a free people any more? Is that what anyone really wants? Look at Hong Kong where freedom has all but disappeared - and don't tell me TTT that that is not the same. It is. We have a precious right to choose and all of us must accept that and refuse to discriminate against those who choose other than the majority.
