Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

I will definitely take the vaccine when offered and I can just about accept proof of vaccination for entering a country as it will eventually do away with the need for testing and mask wearing, even though it should largely be pointless in future once Covid-19 settles into the population and doesn't cause excess deaths.
However, I don't think it will become widespread or acceptable to enter shops, hospitality venues, etc. There are just so many problems with the idea. In fairness, the UK Government have already ruled this out. Sure, some hipster businesses might experiment with it... until customers go elsewhere.
I will get vaccinated. However, if any business demands to see my health records they wont be getting my money. Very much a step too far.

I wasnt even meaning that but its something  the govt could approach conpanies about.

I was more meaning, spell it out. The quicker you get it, the quicker we take the shackles off

I know but the communication at all stages of this shitshow has been a minter and I really don’t see that changing anytime soon unfortunately.

They’ll likely stick it on the side of a bus.

They seem pretty determined to follow the JCVI priority list, at least for now, so care homes, front line NHS staff and over 80's and so forth. When supplies increase so they're enough to open mass vaccination centres etc, you'd think they'd start doing workplace vaccination at suitable times, whatever time, and start opening it up to all ages.

Totally agree, but its still the way its going to be. They won't drag you out of your house and stick a needle in your arm, they'll just exclude you from society.

Already airlines are saying for international travel you need proof of a vaccine, then it will be your kids can't go to school, you can't work here (loads of employers saying it already).  

Unless you’re officially exempt (home schooling) then good luck with that.  Education is one of the most important things a society does which is why you have a legal obligation to send your kids to school.

 Education is a right in this country.  International travel is a privilege.  
 

Refusing someone employment if they hadn’t had a vaccine is surely legally questionable?

I would imagine without saying it the real reason they are opposed to 24 hr vaccinations is they worry too many people wouldn't show up and too many doses would go to waste.

Make it optional with sign up through an app or website. Limit it to the 4 or 5 biggest health boards. 

If it gets us easing restrictions 2% faster and potentially saves a handful of lives or people getting long covid then just do it no matter how much it costs.

The government wont allow that sort of discrimination. I imagine with that p***k from Pimlico plumbers being so desperate to get his stupid face in the news that the matter will be dealt with sooner rather than later.

And given that none of the vaccines have been tested on under 16s, and the government have offered no indication of that being on the horizon, the schools thing is obviously more fantasy land nonsense from Pep.

I’m actually hoping any pub I want to go in requires certification, as it is going to keep the absolute riffraff and minky scum out.

"I think it will be the norm in five or six months. To go into a bar or cinema, or go on a plane, you have to have a vaccine," he added.

Mr Mullins said he had set aside £800,000 to pay for private vaccinations, but estimated costs more in the region of £100,000.

"Whatever it costs, I will pay," he said. "I would pay £1m tomorrow to safeguard our staff.

"If people don't want the vaccine, let them sit at home and not have a normal life," he added.

What a disgusting weirdo, particularly given that last line.

There will be nothing normal at all about creating a two-tier society with health passports in all but name, if you're having to flash proof of vaccinations to go anywhere public. Utter dystopia.

None of this would happen for a multitude of reasons, such as only over 70's or the clinically vulnerable would be allowed out or allowed to go on holidays !! and of course a 2 tier system with the rich jumping the queue would most likely be the straw that would break the camels back I'd say. (maybe not a bad idea then).

Over and above this, what about those with allergies / medical conditions that prevent them taking the vaccine ?

Of course on the plus side it would provide organised crime with a nice little earner in the fake health passport line.

As you say, a completely disgusting cretin.

But you don't get proof that you've had the vaccine. I got mine about an hour ago. There is no bit of paper.

Not right now, but that is planned for the future.  Qantas and a couple of other airlines have already said you won't be able to board an international flight without proving you've been vaccinated. So that is to come.

Maybe not shops, but your employer might. A couple have already, this is obviously going to be how things are from now on.  I can't remember what company it was just today released a statement literally saying 'no jag no job'. That's how it will be.

Good good. Well, they've got my address. I look forward to receiving my certificate forthwith.
