IIjkk Key difference is that none of those are required for any employment, travel, attending night clubs, using public transport, escaping quarantine, etc. They are still voluntary.
None of the conditions they are testing for are so contagious that they are affecting 1 in 15 people in London, bringing our hospitals into a state of emergency, closing down rail lines, closing businesses and doing huge damage to our economy, as well as causing serious illness for some people probably largely as a result of their genetic vulnerability, something you can’t know as an individual.
We give up freedoms for all sorts of measures to reduce much smaller threats to society, seat belts, smoking etc. but this is a pandemic, hopefully one that will fizzle out, but at the moment it is a huge threat to all those places you mention and so testing is a way we can all reduce that threat. If you don’t want to do that one small thing then you take the consequences just as if you chose not to wear a seat belt.
The funny thing about those libertarian politicians that are against these “loss of freedoms” is they would be quite happy to vote to deprive large minorities of the population from other freedoms like the freedom to marry someone of the same sex or a woman’s right to chose to have an abortion.
And actually of course they did actually vote for those passports on the basis that the unvaccinated would do LFTs so even they understand their role for society at this point in the pandemic.
