Covid Vaccination ID

[backsidebaggie]

One of the questions I have is, seeing as we have now given the 1st dose to nearly 30M people and both doses to 2M, why are there some people that are still questioning the safety of the vaccine. At what point will they accept it is safe? 

And they do have the right to know what is going into their bodies I agree, but on that same point businesses have the right to prevent people from entering into their premises if they feel they pose a risk to the safety of other customers and / or their ability to continue operating. It can't go both ways.

The answer to that is always going to be they don’t know the long term effects. It’s up to them to decide when they feel it is safe for their body.

And in terms of pubs deciding who they wish to have in, yes you could argue that. But many will see this as a step towards mandation and a two tier society. I’m extremely uncomfortable with it. In addition, although the vaccine reduces transmission, it doesn’t prevent it. If the nhs is protected, the vulnerable are protected, how much further do we need to go? This could be the thin end of a wedge whereby any future vaccines are mandated for example? Are people comfortable with that, even if we’re comfortable having this vaccine? I’m not.

I would imagine that the majority of people who mainly inhabit pubs and clubs are under 50's.

If a vaccine certificate is required then the pubs are going to be pretty quiet for a while.

And are we allowed to ask to see the certificates of the staff to ensure we are safe from them ?

Gonna get pretty messy 

It's a ridiculous idea.

If it's left to the discretion of the landlord then a) They'll be so desperate for business that pretty much all of the pubs will choose not to ask anyway and b) This isn't even news as pubs can refuse entry or service to people at their discretion already.

I agree. I find it quite sinister tbh.

Very sinister. There are groups of people who are currently medically excluded from getting the vaccine, so what happens with these?

 It's impossible to manage too. They literally don't know how long the antibodies last for at this point. It could be years, it could be 8 months, how can anything like this being introduced without knowing that. It may end up being a yearly jab in order to re-enter society.

If the vaccine works in preventing severe covid, which it does, and enough people are getting the vaccine, which they are, then this idea should be ridiculed. It's laughable, but somehow it's become a serious proposition.

I think a year of covid seems to have completely taken over peoples thinking to the point the world should be set up to avoid covid first and foremost. It’s bizarre. The idea was to take strain off the nhs. Protect the vulnerable. The vaccine apparently does that. Now there is talk of a complete social system change all due to covid? It’s bizarre.
