I'm just saying there's zero chance of them forcing proof of vaccine as a requirement for use of public transport and am prepared to put money on it. You disagree, fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I’ve proved it’s a stupid statement to make based on the governments previous communications on this subject. You’ve made a tit of yourself. That’s what I don’t disagree about. ETA if Sturgeon thinks it will be a vote winner there will be vaccine passports for public transport faster than you say it’s a brilliant idea.

The EIS are obviously there to look after their members but it would be interesting to know just how justifiable their concerns are. Hours after allegedly arriving in Spain on holiday your posting shite on a football forum. Sad doesn't even cover it. What’s location got to do about raising a sensible question? I take it you’re a teacher? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 So, when Nicola said we have to wait to see what the vaccine gives us in terms of reduction in transmission, does anyone have the numbers to hand regarding that and the delat variant?She literally said that mattered in terms of a vaccine passport as quoted by Welshbairn, presumably at the time when the vaccine was hindering transmission of the then dominant variant. Making it up as they go along with a guard of honour of cheerleaders shouting down any dissent. I can remember a time when certain elements were desperate to politicise Covid so that Sturgeon could go a different way from the Tories.... Look at us now. And still the cheerleaders cheer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 3 minutes ago, Tynierose said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-58406526 More chaos in Australia as the PM advises its time to leave lockdowns and come out the cave as they ditch zero covid approach. Interestingly though states are responsible for their own healthcare etc and Both WA & Queensland aren't up for the new approach. At least they're finally doing a lot of jabbing and they're also doing over 12s. I wonder what they think down Yabbie Creek... A bit of realism from the Aussies. They were in the envious position last year of being able to close borders and remain relatively infection free last year but, in the absence of the whole world going down an eradication route, zero Covid could only ever be a temporary policy until vaccination was available, especially after the Delta variant appeared. I know my maw is desperate to go over and see my sister and her 18 month old twins. Praying for a December reopening of flights so that I can utilise her case space to save on air mail for Xmas presents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposition parties in this country are crap, however the first reaction to any questioning of these vaccine passports just results in personal shit being flung at the likes of Sarwar for daring to challenge them.

Thorongil Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’m double vaxed and have had a bit of a sniffle for a few days. First sniffle to speak of in probably 2 years. Ive noticed this morning though that I can smell nothing, and I mean nothing. No temperature, no cough, nothing else. No change in taste. Wife is doing a lateral flow because she is due to head to London tomorrow. Think I’ll do one as well. What do you reckon though? Do I have the COVID? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m an SNP voter and I want to know what the f**k they’re playing at. I'm against vaccine passports but it's worth pointing out that Sarwar and Scottish Labour's position is gubbins as well. While they correctly point out that imposing vaccine passports will not have the desired effect of encouraging those who don't want the vaccine, they've also indicated that they'd rather make people take tests (presumably the absolutely useless LFTs) before going to a nightclub or large event. This means that if the SG can make a 'concession' of demanding testing instead and will likely have the Parliament's support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
