So apparently the unvaccinated will be treated " differently."
I have both jabs, I agree with vaccination and think some reasons against vaccination are unscientific but I think it is very disturbing that our bodily autonomy and right to choose is being eroded.
Ok...I get that pregnant and elderly people should not be protected but if they are double jabbed what is the problem with coming into contact with the unvaccinated?
One of my closest mates had an extreme reaction to the vaccine...I had no issues at all but I dont feel comfortable with this.
I am no conspiracy theorist either.

They cannot mandate the vaccine as it is still experimental until 2023... media scare mongering as usual to push as many people to have it. It is a personal choice and no one else's business
No one has mandated the vaccines as yet. There's been some talk about it eventually being mandatory for some work places, not nothing yet in place.

Re travel and isolation - that's simply a consequence of the choice someone makes not to be vaccinated. All choices have consequences to some extent.

And no, the drug isn't experimental. That's not what the 'now-2023' but actually means.

How will this work for people who have had both jabs but will need a third as a booster to increase protection through the winter? They will be seen as having full protection after 2 jabs when they might have less, which could be difficult if they are expected to live life as normal when they could be badly affected even by mild covid if they are classed as vulnerable or ECV.

The government clearly don't think that the vaccine protection lasts long enough if a lot of people will need a booster.

@pam290358 bloody hell Angry

Boadicea had the right idea - maybe you could get some swords fitted.

@JesusInTheCabbageVan. Hadn’t thought of that. What a good idea !!

Yep @pam290358.
Because once again, it affects a lot of ‘normal’ people so it’s ok for them to demand that they dint have to disclose their vaccination status etc…
But if you are disabled, then such protection doesn’t exist.

The same thing was going on at the start I’d the first lockdown when people were saying it was wrong to ask people why they didn’t wear a mask because basically a not so small minority were refusing to wear them.
Of course, as soon as the novelty wore off and everyone wore a mask, then so did the ‘it’s not ok to ask people their health history’ stance.
