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?
That is clearly nonsense

I always find the 'freedom' argument curious. We aren't autonomous individuals living on our own islands. If we were then yes do what you want. We live in communities and our actions have impact on others. Not to be vaccinated during a pandemic is a choice and if that means you have some restrictions in community spaces then that is the consequence of your choice.
