I can understand allowing people more freedoms if they have had the jab during mid-pandemic, but going forwards a few years and you start saying people can't go to certain things unless they have had a vaccination, it *could* start a dangerous precedent.

Could it? Lots of places require vaccination for various things, measles, yellow fever. You’re a man of the world surely you’ve come across immunisation requirements when travelling before?

Sure, I've had many advisable vaccinations for travel, but I've never been 'not allowed' to go somewhere or do something because of it. I've also not had certain vaccinations. It has been a personal decision.

Why's anybody who says anything that differs with the majority on heres thinking a troll? People are allowed to have different opinions

Yeah, opinions all day. But responding “DONT GO DEN” like a toddler to someone saying they are worried. You are going to get some responses you don’t like. Don’t like it?

DONT POST DEN

Most of the relevant areas are in Africa.

Here’s the primary source from the WHO:https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/defa...26may2021.pdf?sfvrsn=f8d06644_1&download=true

The point stands that countries have always been able to ask for vaccination records before allowing entry and this isn’t new.

I've never had to show proof of vaccination anywhere in the world, and I have been to all continents apart from Antarctica and Africa.

If you are saying there are rules on entering countries in either of those two places regarding mandatory vaccinations then maybe you are right.

That said, they are largely third world countries, which aren't usually the best places to pull policies from. Secondly, the diseases you are being vaccinated against are almost certainly a lot more dangerous than covid. (I know that isn't necessarily the point, but even so)

It has very little to do with me being allowed to go to DiggerLand.

How odd to make the wealth level of the country a deciding factor in how good a policy is. Not bringing undesirable pathogens into the country makes sense regardless of it being the UK or Yemen

Vallance has tweeted he got it wrong in the presser.


60%of admissions in the UNvaccinated.

28% 1 dose

12% 2 doses

Still higher than people thought it was

Well most first world countries don’t have problems with yellow fever, they have problems with COVID.

Seriously though, what’s the big deal about not spreading disease? I don’t get it.

Considering 68% of adult population is double jabbed only 12%* of total hospitalisations is low/good.

*appreciate there’s unfortunately a small number of kids in that number
And of that 68% it includes the cohorts that cover 80+% of hospitalisations anyway

We are at the point now where refusing the vaccine is just pointless and dangerous to yourself .

Too many vaccinated to be a mass cull as some would say and I don't think they have a Liquid form of body chips 🤣.

It makes very little sense to keep the act up much longer to Impress your dead head mates or your 15 social media followers .

And the earth is not flat either

Get jabbed

So you think there would be no problem in having the same policies here as somewhere like, Somalia?

There is no big deal about not spreading disease. That isn't my point whatsoever.

Ive always felt it’s each to their own on vaccine choice but the government suggesting vaccine passports for nightclubs late Sept indicates they’re concerned youngsters just won’t get them unless coerced/forced. Only 12k first doses Sunday. 30% of 18-30 years olds unvaccinated. Add that to anti vax loons and its hard to get total vaccinated up much more

I could understand initial vaccine reticence but the real world data is there for all to see regarding it stopping severe illness and most should know someone’s who’s caught it by now

edit - sorry, 18k first doses Sunday. Done a vallance !

I've had to have vaccinations in the past to go to places

Think this is a nudge rather than an actual likely reality, hence the long lead in time.

When I go around a roundabout I always indicate the opposite direction to what I’m about to go. Personal choice.
