False equivalence.
We don't carry permits for Polio or Measles vaccines
It is nevertheless recorded!
Just like we don’t carry other certifications.

Flyingfifer said:ronk said:The stats look to be going I the correct direction for a change - any suggestions why that should be ?
The country is locked indoors again, flu/cold season is coming to an end, everyone is wearing masks and the people that actually are at risk are being vaccinated

Mhmm......... but its not used against you in anyway or used to control you or dictate what you can and cant do when it comes to just living your life.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here?

z4pilot said:Some countries won't allow you in without proof of a yellow fever innoculation, so like it or not, more and more countries will jump on the bandwagon and demand proof of covid vaccination. If their low covid status is hard won, you can understand why. Unless you like staycations for the foreseeable, it puts the anti vaxxers in a difficult position. As far as wider uptake within this country, I think most would accept the temporary need to provide proof of vaccination for a limited range of activities. After all, during the war, everyone had to have an identity card, but that was abolished when the need ceased. The same could apply here - it is a war of a kind after all.

Flyingfifer said:Let me try this,
If I was 70 right now would I want to have the vaccine? Yes, but I wouldn't support the public shaming, tracking or labelling of those that didn't, primarily because them having the vaccine has absolutely zero impact on my safety or anyone else's it only effects that one person, as the vaccine does not prevent you from carrying and spreading the virus.

100% this.
I would add that I would feel exactly the same but would also add that I would certainly have a lot more compassion for the younger generations who have made such sacrifices to make me safer in my older years. I would also be very worried about the mass unemployment that will happen because of the incoming super recession/brexit/covid has created.

Where would we be now if she’d been in charge I wonder?

ronk said:That would probably be true if there had not been anything to get in the way of normality .
Even with restrictions the hospitals were full to busting - they were at breaking point - or was that only propaganda?
Something had to be done, some may not have liked nor agreed with the restrictions but there wasn’t a real alternative.
