it wouldn't be a kick in the teeth to businesses if people would accept the suggested standards of behaviour. Then you wouldn't need bouncers on doors etc. So put the blame on those who won't follow rules rather than those trying to manage the situation.
Come again? The accepted standards of behaviour in your eyes. But you’re not the ruler of everyone are you? Introducing additional checks, ones that are discriminatory, unnecessary and bordering on illegal, will be a kick in the teeth to businesses who are already struggling to bounce back.
Like I said. Passports are suggested to keep people safe. Is keeping people safe discriminatory? You really have swallowed the MAGA pill. Again if people don't try to get round attempts to protect public health there would be no kick in the teeth to business. However, from the evidence of this board recently there's a lot of folk who really aren't bothered about keeping others safe.
how does a vaccine passport keep you safe. Given the vaccine doesnt prevent transmission or infection...
It doesn't prevent it, but it reduces it. Somebody that's had the vaccine is likely to pass the virus on for far less time than somebody without the vaccine.
Mate you need to change the record and give your head a shake. What on earth has MAGA got to do with anything in this conversation? I’ll answer for you, absolutely nothing. I don’t refer back to anything personal against you, but for the second thread in a row you can’t resist or help yourself going off tangent and trying to form an opinion on me on my behalf. Vaccine passports are discriminatory. The vaccine isn’t fully classified as being safe yet. One vaccine was pulled from a certain age group/demographic. Despite all this people should only walk to the beat of your drum?
I'd say that denying services to some people who haven't had a medical procedure is discriminatory. I have my runins with Loko but this has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. I'm a loony lefty and I'm really uneasy about a government forcing a new vaccine on its population. I think there has to be a really high hurdle of necessity to justify it, and given the voluntary take up of the vaccine I don't think we are there.
I think unvaccinated people being given free reign at public events is discriminatory against people who are willing to do what's right.
Should we ban people who haven't had the flu vaccine from attending winter matches at Oakwell in the name of "doing what's right"?
Because the covid passports are based on the idea that the government are giving us back our freedoms (as if they own them, which I have an issue with anyway), on the proviso that people have an injection that hasn't been tested over a long period of time (not long enough in my view). There are a few legitimate reasons why people don't want a vaccine, and it's not just the traditional 'anti vaxxers'. And in comparison to seatbelts being introduced, I understand what you're referring to but it's not the same in my opinion.
The few legitimate people who can't have the vaccine are exempt from the covid passport system, aren't they?
