    I was in conversation with one of my main suppliers of text books a couple of weeks ago and he said to me that he will not accept anyone on his premises unless they are vaccinated (when the vaccine rollout is completed). This to me was none of his business whether I am or not. My point in my post was that many of us are going to find a lot of this questioning before we enter certain premises ie transport hubs, cruise ships etc.

    One should not have to declare whether they are vaccinated or not, even though the Government has said they have no intention of mandating a vaccine passport but i feel many companies will do the Governments bidding regardless and insist on some kind of vaccination evidence.

    It would be against your rights as a human being, just as it is for someone who is black or homo***ual from entering. I can see a lot of court cases coming up if premises go down that road.
    Anyway if you have had the jab and it's as good as they say, you wouldn't have to worry if anyone else has had it or not.

    I understand why people think its their own business whether they get vaccinated or not but thats actually a misunderstanding. Yes if you want to get sick and possibly die of covid that is entirely your business. But there are lots of people out there who are immune compromised for any number of reasons. For example, my 23 year old daughter, newly married, PhD candidate, smart, pretty, has her whole rich life ahead of her, has to take medications that compromise her immune system so that she can function everyday. She is constantly at risk from all these diseases that people have decided for whatever reason they dont want to get vaccinated for. If she dies of covid by catching it from someone who could have been vaccinated but decided not to, its no longer just their business is it?

    There is no evidence yet that having the vaccine prevents anyone from carrying the virus and passing it on to someone else. Having a significant proportion of the population vaccinated against ChinaVirus is the best path to getting our lives back to something like normality. Also, the workload that ChinaVirus has put on our doctors and nurses has pushed them almost to breaking point, I just think that we all owe them our efforts to reduce the infection rate and get our health service back on track. Next week, it could be any of us that requires intensive care and I’m sure that none of us want to be told that there isn’t a bed for us, or find that there aren’t enough nurses to properly care for us. You may have gathered that I will have the jab at the earliest opportunity.

    How times have changed during our lifetime.

    Not long before many of us were born young men and women were sent to die in a war outside of the UK with no one gave a monkeys for their rights as a human being. Many of them never again saw their families or loved ones.

    Roll forward to 2020 and it is all about my rights as a human being! Give me a break.

    How’s the rollout going over there now Calvin? Looks like Biden has the bit between his teeth and wants to vaccinate a million a day. I’m hoping to be in New York in June but that obviously depends on how the rollout goes.

    I'm jabbing folk, 2 days done so far and those of us helping have had a jab ourselves from the leftovers that would go to waste - you get a very sore arm and mild flu symptoms for a max of 3 days, in my case less than 48hrs but paracetamol knocks it all on the head. I had the Oxford one, produced in the same way the flu jab is by inactivating the virus.

    If you're in your 80's statistically you are on borrowed time irrespective of Covid so I'd suggest the 23 deaths post vaccination are coincidence.
