Covid Vaccination ID

[Derek Hardballs]

No! There are many including children under 12 who are specifically but not exclusively vulnerable to Covid. The chance that they would die from a cold or flu for example are significantly smaller than if they caught Covid. Your tough-titty argument can easily be reversed for those perfectly fit and healthy people who can but refuse to have the vaccine, or the passport. You are simply putting the rights of the fittest ahead of the weakest in society. If you're comfortable with this and think rights always trump responsibilities then fair enough but I'm never going to agree or respect that decision. If I'm mistaken then I will apologise in advance.

The argument about 'Fear' is real for many families who could lose a child to Covid and to not even try and see it from their perspective is quire a slap in the face. Passports wouldn't even be on the agenda if people simply had the vaccine in sufficient numbers. We want our rights but we abdicate all responsibility to the rest of society!

At least you admit your "Zero Covid" stance Dekka.

It is however the most singularly illiberal, selfish, authoritarian and wealth destroying take it's possible to have.

No one expects zero cases of Covid, however you don't control a disease that isn't the flu or cold by letting it rip through the population unhindered. 84% of hospital admissions for Covid are now from the under 50's (LBC report 20th July). The Delta variant and the lack of vaccination in this age group is the reason hospitals will be put under pressure because of numpties you admire /  'MP friends' lobbying for even the most basic of safety measures to be taken away. This won't help the economy, health or confidence for people to go out. I know several events that have been cancelled because organisers don't feel they can keep people safe, don't want to be liable for an outbreak and the hassle they will get from bolshy idiots demanding their right to ignore the safety of others.
