Coronavirus (2021) thread

With a pandemic the like of which the whole world has never seen before there has to be a new way to control the virus, getting jabbed and carrying a passport is a small price to pay. It's not discrimination, it's a reward for helping combat the disease. Those that won't get the jab because they are nutters, tough fucking shit. Those that can't because of health reasons should shield and carry a proper medical exemption card but unfortunately they will have to miss out on travel and possibly mixing in pubs, clubs, shopping centres, etc. They shouldn't anyway because surely their health is more important to them.

And what is the point in having your health if you can't do anything with it?

Being in tip top shape but stuck in my flat wouldn't be worth it imo.

so if youve been dealt a shit hand in life, and you cant get vaccinated, you should now not go to pubs, events, nice holidays nothing, just simply exist until you expire?

Well a few months ago the conspiracy weirdos were branded nuts for saying vaccine passports would happen.
Yet here we are a year on and it looks like they will become mandatory for travel, work and going out.
Everyone should have the vaccine of course but I find it disturbing that the authorities are saying to everyone you have to get jabbed or else. This isn't right.

I'm more concerned of dickheads refusing the vaccine and wishing to spread Covid around the world.

That's the whole point of the vaccination program, once it's rolled out to the majority of the population tip top shape people like yourself can get out and enjoy life, hopefully with all the freedoms we are used to, after the 21st June.

Yep, until a vaccine that is suitable is approved which probably won't be long, existing is what we have been doing for 12 months, a little while longer won't hurt.

Asked for your papers? It's not Nazi Germany for fucks sake.

It looks like you almost got the point I was trying to make.

It's not Nazi Germany, you're right. But governments don't simply give up power. Today's government has learned what it's able to do without repercussion, and it's not unreasonable to wonder what the next thing you'll be required to prove on demand is. And the next. And the next.

And if you're not in shape and can't have a vaccination? I can't get out and 'enjoy life, hopefully with all the freedoms we are used to?'

From what I can see only people with severe anaphylactic reactions and pregnant women are just about the only ones unable to get the vaccine. It really is a small proportion in the former group.
