Covid vaccine and camping group...

[earsup]

AIBU to have left one of the camping / van groups I belong to as some very vocal organisers insist any future attendance only allowed if attendees are vaccinated..!
Brief background...its a voluntary group...we all share tasks so pay very little for the 2 week camping...some cook, others collect litter etc...its generally quite pleasant....however some members started a poll and a survey about attendance and vaccination...myself and 3 others objected....stated that vaccine is personal choice...I also stated I would personally be unhappy about having such a recent vaccine with no lenghty trials....myself and the others who questioned the reasoning of attendence with vaccine recieved abuse...called selfish, murderers, irresponsible etc....no reasoning with those group members so we have all left it and deleted our profiles...feel relieved...the abuse was relentless..bombarded with death stats etc..

I wonder if vaccination exemption is going to become the new mask exemption on here, ie no-one is exempt enough, or if you are you should "stay the fuck at home".

Sadly I think it will be the new normal in life, not just on MN.

It'll be the same, won't it?

If you cannot use the mitigations for transmission, you be asked to keep to SD regulations. Because reasonable adjustment does not include the spreading of a virus which is deadly for some, life altering for others, and of course we still don't knjw enough about the nature of immunity conferred (either by wild disease or by vaccine). With it not taking adequately in 5-10% of the vaccinated population, the pool of vulnerable people could remain quite large.

And there's plenty of percent of putting extra restrictions on groups to protect the NHS - shielding wasn't just for the benefit of the individuals

Quantas has just announced proof of vaccination will be required in the future to fly with them. I'm fine with that. I'd feel a lot safer on a flight knowing that the passengers had all been vaccinated.

That’s excellent news. Hopefully all other airlines follow suit.
