The reason you have given means moving the goalposts to infringe someone’s civil liberties, their freedom of movement, just incase they happen to get ill and need medical care. That’s a very dangerous precedent to allow any government to embark on.

But even then the logic doesn’t stack up.

An unvaccinated person under 40 has a minuscule chance of needing hospital care resulting from a covid infection. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...th-by-age.html

The same is true for an unvaccinated person who has previously recovered from covid so how does banning these people help to reduce pressure on the NHS?
I don't think it matters if goalposts are changed (and even then I'm not entirely sure what you've said about the original reasons are accurate) as long as there are good reasons for it.

Ultimately I'm speculating as to the reasons but I think there is logic in what I've suggested. I'm afraid I can't believe so many countries around the world are restricting the civil liberties of their citizens just for the sake of it. Politically, what would be the point?
