Kids live in bigger households too. But they wear the magic masks and don't get it anyway... The SG would be much better acknowledging that the presumptions and decisions they made earlier in the pandemic have turned out to be completely untrue. That would be much more dignified than the incredible face saving route they are going to go down instead with regards to masks and vaccine passports because they can't possibly be seen to have gotten something wrong, especially when those reckless toarrrrrrries made directly opposite decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Surely a negative test is more likely to prevent the spread of covid so what's the argument for not allowing it instead of a vax passport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the sole purpose of vaccine passports is to incentivise getting vaccinated. Allowing people to pick up a free LFT, enter a code online, and say they don't have it (without ever actually taking the test) completely undermines that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Swinney threatening vaccine passport use in more places? Surely not! I thought that was just nonsense talk from nut jobs and conspiracy theorists The SG have shown themselves to be dictators since July with the upkeep of masks and vaccine passport introduction. The sad part is it will go unchallenged and the fan boys on here will hang on their every word as usual. No right minded person can agree or shrug their shoulders about what is happening. It's an abuse of power. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are administered by a medical professional or in view of an official witness, a negative test is meaningless. You could rub it on your balls, present a negative result and walk into anywhere you like fully infectious.

To be different. At one point we were the only country in Europe not offering proof of negative test as an entry requirement. Not sure if we still are. The SNP have went right down in my estimation but theyll still be voted in next election by a landslide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is a farce now, with politicians and experts seemingly unable to let go of the meddling and unprecedented limelight. Sturgeon's claim of not keeping restrictions in place a minute longer than needed was clearly a bare-faced lie. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Glad it's been cleared up then, they want the vaccine to appear as a choice but the choice is get the vaccine or your not allowed to do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public can’t take a reliable test so its useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 In summary, vaccine passports don't stop you getting or transmitting COVID, testing is not always accurate and you can just not do the test.Let's just get on with life, a bit like England have been doing since mid July. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
