KingswellsRed Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) As far as I am concerned, the vaccine passports are distracting from the Scottish Government completely mishandling the reopening in their usual fashion of attempting to be seen as more caring than the UK Government. I would have removed all legal restrictions at the start of the school summer holidays with the obvious advice to keep following basic hygiene measures. Instead we had the 9th August reopening a week before the schools went back and only a few weeks before universities. I think this would have allowed the exit wave to subside before a further spike, leading to less pressure on hospitals at one time.

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Keep the covid folk out the hospitals and put them in covid colonies. That way people with normal problems can get treated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr_malcolm Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The scheme will require a person seeking entry to certain venues and settings to show that they have been fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means vaccinated with a MHRA recognised vaccine in line with the MHRA recommended number of doses for the vaccine used and two weeks has passed for the vaccine to take effect Taken from here - https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-mandatory-vaccine-certification/ As someone aged 18+ who can’t get their second dose until the 28th of September I’m absolutely fizzing about this. I’m already unhappy at the law being passed for ethical reasons but this totally fucks me over. Already bought tickets for the Scotland game only 11 days after my second vaccine. Does this mean I won’t be allowed to go? Through no fault of my own. I cannot stress this enough, f**k this government. Absolutely delighted I cancelled my Green Party membership, clearly shown they don’t have any backbone and don’t stand by the views that they supposedly have.Kind of in the same boat as you, due my second dose as of now but currently have the rona . As far as I can tell I’m not allowed my second dose until 28 days after my positive test. Which is 4 days before Israel game . f**k this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Given BoJo's comments last night it's clear that these passports are little more than a ploy to encourage people to get vaccinated rather than about stopping transmission. I get the impression they are no longer that worried about vaccinated people catching it. Of course they can't say that, which leads to them tying themselves in knots about why they are introducing them. Allowing negative LFTs (which as previously discussed can be easily achieved by not actually taking the test) would not have this effect, hence why they aren't included as acceptable at launch. It's also why they are targetted at nightclubs, events and football stadiums.It's the same with the rumoured changes for international travel - make it really difficult for the unvaccinated to travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 He was born to be Sturgeon's toady.Not in the slightest bit surprised that he has folded like a cheap deckchair after being given a sniff of power and a pay rise. As someone mentioned before, Nicola will have him cutting the ribbons on a new oil rig or refinery before this parliament is done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Harvie knows that pandering to the sizeable Lovejoy demographic is worth more in today's political climate than any sort of principled stance, especially when it comes to holding onto the only modicum of power he's ever held in his specky wee life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Have to say it's cracking patter I'm in a position where I feel in all likely hood I don't have a party to vote for. The Socialist Party didn't stand any candidates at either the last Holyrood or Westminster elections & I wouldn't touch any of the other fringe/smaller pro-indy parties (there's more than you'd think) for a variety of reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
