Not wanting a vaccine does not mean someone is an idiot, there's many reasons including medical issues which means some can't..

As said before I think this will be driven by insurance.

If you want business insurance and the underrighters say you staff must have the jab then there it is.

So would you expect all flight crew to be vaccinated if you have to be and have a negative covid test to fly.

And if so I guess air port employed

Fully understand there are medical exemptions.. but to not take vaccine puts you in same bracket as those who says "i reckon i had it back in june".. those same people didnt isolate and carried on working., probably spreading it. Selfish.

Jab.

But I'm waiting for mine anyway.

Personally my opinion is where something like this is a global issue.

It should be mandatory... Unless you have been told the medical professionals that you can't have it due to being allergic to something in it.

But you will be contacted ASAP once a vaccination that is compatible with you is available.

There are those who don’t want it and will refuse .... but once they can’t get a job, go abroad, go to the cinema or the restaurant.. or function reasonably normally and realise oh fuck!! ... then they will conform!

... bit draconian to make such people realise that they need to do this - but they’ll see sense!

No jab for us. If it costs us our jobs then fine, we are at that age and level of financial security we dont really care. As we are originally from Jersey all our interests are protected. All you lovely tax payers can keep us until we can claim our pensions

There was a news report the other day saying some people with certain blood conditions can't have either of the vaccines currently being used in the UK but the moderna that is licenced here but not yet in use is a possibility.

You wouldn't be eligible for state benefits. If You have savings you have to live off those and if you are not working you will have to claim job seekers allowance, if you are not actively looking for work and accept any job offer then you be entitled to nothing.

So your choice to not work but you would have to support yourselves.

Yes it will stick. For many years some employers have made it mandatory for their employees to have the hep C vaccine so it's already in existence.

Iv had 3 jobs where unless I was medically exempt a job offer was dependent on me having had or to have the hepatitis c jab.

Not in this country. I will cross that bridge if it comes to it, my children will make their own choice as to whether they have it or not.

'Choice' being the operative word there. Don't you think people should be able to choose what they put into their bodies?

Yes you can absolutely choose but don't be surprised if someone also uses their right to choose not to employ you or let you in their country.

I can choose not to abide by my employers rules and they can choose to terminate my contract.

Lots of job types already require you to have had jabs against all sorts of things. For example I believe that undertakers and people who handle the deceased don't get the necessary licence unless they've been vaccinated against all manner of ailments.

So you think that if you want a mortgage and part of the life insurances medical is having a vacsien you would just not own a home. It could also be part of car insurance so would not drive and if traveling on transport insist on it you would be walking

There has never been a mass vaccine roll out but has had mass severe casualties.

Yes of course some people will have an adverse reaction but you could say the same for a general anaesthetic but because for the majority of people it's safe so considered an acceptable risk.

People do seem to forget, or maybe they don’t realise, the most time consuming aspect of ANY vaccine is the funding aspect.

This virus has closed the entire planet more or less, so every country is chucking money at it... this cuts down years waiting before it gets near the public (I believe average is up to 10 years)

I used this example the other day branch you think it's quite a good one. Many jobs require you have a DBS check to protect others, if you choose not to have one or wont pass one you won't get the job.

If an employer feels you would be a risk to others they can choose not to employ you.

that them to court for unfair dismissal...

it is illegal under the human rights act to be coerced into having any medical treatment including vaccines for a job, home, freedoms or other wise...

it is internationally illegal & any medical person giving jabs knowingly under these circumstances are also doing so illegally as they are aiding coercion.

you give up freedoms to easily in a blind panic and promise of safety and you won't get them back...freedoms are important in all areas as are ethics.

Lose them you lose democracy, you quickly loose other freedoms along with them and we'll go backwards in our thinking...

put it this way they reacted similarly in the HIV epidemic, locking folk away and testing without permission etc and that had a 100% kill rate before they found a medication for it.

It was deemed illegal under the infectious disease control acts...it's no different now and if this has went airborne as I suspect it has given auatralia & NZ's recent activity despite all efforts then it's a live with situation...YOU will have to make up your own mind so learn the subtle changes when a potential onset of something is occuring and react....I don't need gov to tell me to do so i'm intellegent to risk assess myself thanks

Yes exactly and people that think it will never happen could well be in for a shock.

I'm not going to predict anything, but those saying that it'll never happen, that it's impossible... The framework already exists, I don't think the shift in legal position would be huge (not a lawyer). And I suspect that it wouldn't be widely unpopular.

But nobody is forcing anybody to have a vaccine.

There are many jobs that have certain requirements, Many already require you to have certain vaccines, Lots of countries have already said they are almost certainly going to require people to have had the vaccine before they enter, Many employers have already said they will require all employees to have had the vaccine.

You can Legally discriminate against somebody in employment if it would be unsafe for them or others.

I think people are gonna get a big shock when they realise there is nothing stopping employers saying if you don't have the covid vaccine you can't work here.

If you are medically exempt thats a different kettle of fish.

not medical treatment can be administered by force or coercion.

legally it'll take 1 court case since international law exceeds all others the EHCR are irrelevant and even still they cannot be forced.

You are not understanding it will not be forced however there may be certain jobs you can not apply for that is totally lawful as it happens already.

Most employers have said they will employ someone who is medically exempt which is why they wont employ someone who just refuses to have it on principle to protect those they employ that can't.

put it this way they reacted similarly in the HIV epidemic, locking folk away and testing without permission etc and that had a 100% kill rate before they found a medication for it.

It was deemed illegal under the infectious disease control acts...it's no different now and if this has went airborne as I suspect it has given auatralia & NZ's recent activity despite all efforts then it's a live with situation...YOU will have to make up your own mind so learn the subtle changes when a potential onset of something is occuring and react....I don't need gov to tell me to do so i'm intellegent to risk assess myself thanks

Fear cannot rule our thinking's

So could you advertise a new role and state you need to have had the jab

No, its also discrimination against those who cannot have it for various reasons...which is largely the disability sector so it also fails under the disabilities and equality's acts.

I do aplogise for my spelling & grammer...tired

Most employers have said they will employ someone who is medically exempt which is why they wont employ someone who just refuses to have it on principle to protect those they employ that can't."

Look up how many job roles require you to have had the hepatitis C vaccine in the UKI think you will be surprised.

Mandatory vaccination has been used before :-

United Kingdom Vaccination Act 1853

The Vaccination Act 1853 made it compulsory for all children born after 1 August 1853 to be vaccinated against smallpox during their first 3 months of life. Parents who failed to get their children vaccinated would be subject to legal action.

"not medical treatment can be administered by force or coercion.

legally it'll take 1 court case since international law exceeds all others the EHCR are irrelevant and even still they cannot be forced. "

Then why do several countries in the EU, and many internationally, have vaccine mandates?

Why has Brazil recently affirmed that local vaccine mandates are permissible?

I believe you're incorrect.

It is likely true that you can't be, I don't know, held down and jabbed. But no one is suggesting that. It is possible - and plenty of precedent exists - that people without vaccines might face penalties or be excluded from certain activities, etc.

It is not part of current UK norms, but what you've pointed out is, I believe, the world's first vaccine mandate. From the UK.

You are not understanding it will not be forced however there may be certain jobs you can not apply for that is totally lawful as it happens already. "

in niche sectors such as care & icu nurse where it is an incredible risk to both parties it is certainly encouraged but it isn't forced these people d it by their own choice and knew the likely hood of these things often long before or they certainly should know if they are in the care sector since infection and disease control is important....as we have seen its failed.

its a bit like a vet getting a rabies jab ....its a bit DUH...the risk it obviously there in that sector, it makes sense, but not forced.

start forcing and where does it end? especially if you call it in the interest of public health over a natural thing, herd immunity works when 60% are vaccinated (approx). there is no need to force as plenty as willing.

smoking is not a natural thing so has no comparison.

Who's forcing?

If having a vaccine is a requirement of a certain job and you don't want the vaccine, you don't get that job.

Yes because people who work in those sectors are considered high risk so now we have a new virus where people who work for the nhs, In education, care and many many more sectors could vary legally and legitimately be told no jab no job.

The government will not make it mandatory but employers and insurance companies may well make it condition to being employed or having insurance.

You have a choice but so do they.

As a smoker I pay much high premiums for life insurance, I choose to smoke if I choose to stop smoking I will pay less.

If you choose to have the vaccine you will also pay less or find that you can now be employed by certain sectors.

the high risk sectors I have never had any interest in working in because as you say high risk & not for me both in personality and the expectations. I much prefer outside & animals.

insurance again, smoking is unnatural, known to case health issues that lead to the inevitable death...I'm high risk with my ADHD ....good luck trying to insure me in the first place as my life expectancy is pension age if I'm lucky...so again not an issue and certain jobs I cannot do for the same reason anyway, like healthcare as I can't even remember to take my own meds...never mind give them to someone else.

see there lies your thoughts in force..it's not, it's encouraged and most folk as we have agreed know these are expected of them.

penalties & limitations are not the same as force...any sector without a very valid reason for strongly insisting would be in trouble.

You keep saying smoking is unnatural and yes it is however I have diabetes which was hereditary from my mother so totally natural.

When I go on holiday my premium for travel insurance is about 3 times higher than that of my travelling companion that does not have diabetes.

So like I said the things you are complaining you are worried are going to happen have been happening for decades. Also my ADHD and autism hasn't stopped me working in education or health care or ever had a premium on my travel insurance. Also ADHD does not limit life expectancy.

plus where logically is the need for force when we've vaccinated from the vulnerable to frontline down to the least vunerable?

kids got a running nose don't go to nana's.

it's called personal responsibility. I can more than do than on my own since I know the subtle tickles and such when something is invading, other should learn the same and employers need to stop insisting folk are in work when they are unwell (the move to work at home helps) SSP needs a serious upgrade especially for the lowest earners, who literally cannot afford to miss out on pay (first 3 days in 26 are not paid) and to a hand to mouth livers they cannot afford to do it, many were using food banks before covid.

Many more issues than just covid related ones and if they were corrected it would help infection control.

Most folk have now had a big wake up call not to be so selfish and go out when you suspect your ill.

I will be honest ... I have anxiety about this. To be forced to do something feels like r*pe. Its horrible that some are taking pleasure in knowing people will be forced to do it for the sake of feeding their kids, despite having real concerns. I'm not talking about anxiety like I'm a bit scared, I'm talking about not sleeping and panic attacks and nausea.

WOW lets not even draw that comparison! Thing you are suggesting is not a choice however not having a vaccine is a complete choice. Nobody is taking pleasure but let's be honest this is a public health emergency so drastic steps are going to need to be taken so that the majority can live a perfectly normal life.

I'm not quite that bad but it does kick off my PTSD too, There are laws all over the place that say you cannot be forced into medical treatments and various other things, most of our laws surround the freedom factor as do international ones.

doesn't matter if your a virus or a human the cycle is the same for us all.

That is not what is happening I am a 100% certain the government is not going to make it mandatory however I do feel it is highly likely and has already started to happen that some employers are going to say you cannot work here if you cannot prove you have had the covid vaccine or are medically exempt.

I am certain there will still be jobs available for those who choose not to have it.

If vaccine mandates breached international law, then we'd know. Vaccine mandates are not uncommon globally. They're permitted under EHCR law as well, as noted, and I'd guess that the EHCR knows a thing or two about international law. Just maybe.

I'm sorry you don't know the meaning of the word "force", but you are utterly incorrect. Force here means involuntary treatment. Government mandate means you can be punished. This is less than a government mandate. This would be employers adding stipulations to employment.

force is not limited to psychical it includes mental coercion also, as state you'll find fine examples of force in sex, domestic, family, medical and even employment laws and yes i agree we are not at the point of force yet but if people keep pushing through fear (which is what this is& have been conditioned to by the media coverage over the past year...also in question btw due to extent and the extreme emotive suggesting murder).

It is teetering on the fine line between being encouraged & being forced. if all employers insist on the vaccine then it becomes force and coercion and is not longer free choice.

Ok. Force is certainly a sliding scale in some circumstances.

However, vaccine mandates exist in many places, have been upheld as permissible in distinct jurisdictions, etc.

What's being discussed here is *less* than a vaccine mandate.

You can say no all you like, but that is the international position. Mandates are unlikely to become the position in the UK if we trust what the government is currently saying. That does not mean that vaccines might not be required for certain parts of life in the UK.

But I would be forced to leave the job I have done and put my whole life into, committed and whole heart into every day since I was 16. I wear all PPE at work 4 x 14 hour shifts a week, mask, shield, gloves, apron and wash my hands and arms til they are sore at the end of the day. If this doesn't show commitment enough that I care about other peoples health to my own detriment (its hard wearing all that PPE for 14 hours) but I don't want to take a vaccine. I see a lot in my industry that blatantly don't care but it would force like people like me that do care, into other probably lower paid jobs when I've worked hard to get to where I am and my family have been through all that with me. To see me possibly lose my job and not be able to feed my children if I don't have the vaccine. If you are all good with that then good for you, but it doesn't sit right with me at all. This will force peoples mental health even more down the toilet, suicides, yeah thats gonna go up to. But who cares yeah?

Ok. Force is certainly a sliding scale in some circumstances.

However, vaccine mandates exist in many places, have been upheld as permissible in distinct jurisdictions, etc.

What's being discussed here is *less* than a vaccine mandate.

Freedom is never complete and is always balanced by other considerations. You may have to balance competing values, if it comes to it.

This does not mean I agree with human rights abuses. I just do not think that employers being permitted to require vaccination is anywhere near that. I think the interests of public health often override individual liberty, at least in part (as this last year has shown us in spades).

I don't know what will happen, I don't know where it should fall, but I think your point is at best wildly exaggerated.

you have freedom to challenge/prosecute them in court It only takes one case to expose them, bear in mind a lot of people sign non disclosure type docs in exchange for large sums of cash...that is their freedom to do so but leaves others open to future abuse as we are seeing with all these old crimes being dug up now.

I'm pretty sure that if vaccine mandates, or employment requirements, violated international law, we'd know.

I am not associating anyone in this thread, in this forum, or on Fab with the following:

There are groups of anti vaxxers in the US who are... crazy is putting it mildly. They jump up and down, sue left right and centre, and perpetrate all sorts on their disabled "vaccine injured" children attempting to "cure" them. Huge victim narrative. People have made careers off this shit (Andrew Wakefield is among them). If they could sue the US government - who have vaccine mandates for children - they would! They'd make squillions if they could prove the US was in violation of international law.

*Again, the above paragraph is not about anyone on Fab in any way, shape or form*

Some businesses requiring vaccinations is so much less than that. So, so much less than that.

"I said a lot on this subject so I am going to be leaving it here, I will just say I would not advocate anybody to be forced to have a vaccine or any medication.

That is not what is happening I am a 100% certain the government is not going to make it mandatory however I do feel it is highly likely and has already started to happen that some employers are going to say you cannot work here if you cannot prove you have had the covid vaccine or are medically exempt.

I am certain there will still be jobs available for those who choose not to have it.

But I would be forced to leave the job I have done and put my whole life into, committed and whole heart into every day since I was 16. I wear all PPE at work 4 x 14 hour shifts a week, mask, shield, gloves, apron and wash my hands and arms til they are sore at the end of the day. If this doesn't show commitment enough that I care about other peoples health to my own detriment (its hard wearing all that PPE for 14 hours) but I don't want to take a vaccine. I see a lot in my industry that blatantly don't care but it would force like people like me that do care, into other probably lower paid jobs when I've worked hard to get to where I am and my family have been through all that with me. To see me possibly lose my job and not be able to feed my children if I don't have the vaccine. If you are all good with that then good for you, but it doesn't sit right with me at all. This will force peoples mental health even more down the toilet, suicides, yeah thats gonna go up to. But who cares yeah? "

You are missing the point you will not be forced to leave your job.

You will have a choice to leave your job or do what is required to keep your job.

I don't think you understand the difference to be honest. I dont understand why are saying people wouldn't be able to feed their children because yes they can. there will be jobs available if people choose not to have the vaccine.

Choice works both ways you have a choice not to work somewhere that requires you to have a vaccine and they have a choice not to employ you.

Is nothing more or less than pool than that.

Choices have consequences. This isn't me being sinister or anything. It's just a fact.

If I eat that tub of ice cream I'll feel sick. If I spit in the street people might think I'm disgusting.

If I get a jab I might have a sore arm.

If I don't get a jab I might endanger people. If I don't get a jab I might face judgement or social consequences.

... Umm. I said your point is exaggerated.

I'm not the one being emotional here. You've said that employment requirements are breaches of international law. You're now saying that you think those who choose not to be vaccinated risk being expelled from society.

... All I've said is that employment requirements to be vaccinated are consistent with ECHR law and are less than what happens globally.

I am seeing the use of a lot of semantics in this thread.

The word CHOICE being bandied around when the reality is that if the choice is between a job or having no money it is no choice at all!

If having the vaccine becomes a choice between getting/keeping a job, going to a restaurant/bar/pub/theatre/cinema/gig/shop, or going abroad on holiday then that is mandation by stealth as the restrictions on your life become too great to function.

I don’t like it at all. I think it is a huge attack on personal liberties and hard fought civil rights. I think it IS a slippery slope.

It is also I suspect probably inevitable so anyone Vaccine Hesitant will have to suck it up. The Anti Vaxxers will have to live like hermits!

You gotta wonder though - what happens a few years from now when/if side effects start coming out?

Before anyone piles on note I said “when/if”

Also what if it turns out that the vaccines do not prevent transmission? There is early data they may reduce transmission but not proven yet.

If the choice is jab or job I would choose jab as how else are you going to cover your outgoings unless you really think you can survive of benefits. I work in a office where 90 % are currently working from home say 3 days a week and come into the office the other 2 days others are working from home 5 days a week.I am guessing if you have a understanding employer they may allow you to work from home and not have the jab thereby you could still keep your job.

I think there a couple of things not discussed here in terms of risk and duty of care...

An employer has a duty of care to their employees and customers to take every step to minimise risk and ensure their safety. If they want to insist on vaccinations for staff that to me is good employment practice. Many jobs require the mandatory wearing of PPE (not just gowns and gloves) and insist employees wear them with disciplinary consequences if they don’t ... fully understanding that some for very valid reasons may be exempt from ...that is common sense!

Over the years I have had to have vaccinations as part of my job in travelling ... my employer was looking out for my safety - I completely get it.

This about freedom and choice I completely agree .... individuals have the Freemason of choice not to have the jab.... employers have the freedom of choice not to employ them if they don’t ... simple!

My company has mandatory vaccinations already.

Not for covid (yet), but if I need to go to certain parts of the world, its mandatory for me to be inoculated against (for example) Yellow Fewer. Or take Malaria medication. There are lots of others.

It's not 'forced', I'm more than permitted to resign with my full notice period and contractual rights to pay and benefits and part ways, but I choose not to, because I want the job.

There seems to be a complex where certain things (in this case its employment) are considered a 'human right', and it would somehow be illegal to remove that option from someone. It gets thrown around as a catch all term for people who want to believe they have more rights than they do.

Would strapping someone down and literally forcing an injection upon them be illegal? I'm not a lawyer, but I imagine so, and we all know this is not going to happen.

However, is the removal or limitation of some freedoms in life due to an individual's choice illegal? Absolutely not. Not everything is a defined human right. Almost nothing is, people just like to think things are because it makes them feel better.

Well said and true. I guess the issue is that what you describe is fairly niche - what % of jobs in the UK involve travel abroad and of those what % involve travelling to countries where, for example, yellow fever is a risk?

The reason this now becomes an issue of debate is that Covid Vaccine becomes widespread/national for all/most jobs regardless of their nature. So it goes from affecting a small % of workforce to pretty much everyone.

The “choice” argument becomes moot when all jobs require it. Currently someone can choose not to work in healthcare or a job with third world travel because they have access to many other jobs. You remove that you remove choice!

"Oh and by the way ...

.... I get mine on Monday ... bring it on -can’t wait.. respect to all

R. X"

Yet some fuckwits still don't understand that this particular vaccine is for personal protection- prevention of developing severe symptoms, so getting it does not help saving anyone else but yourself. You can still catch the virus and have it and maybe be sick with it, only you're less likely to need to be treated in a hospital or die. You're getting a drug to help you. Not society,( you can still spread the virus), not your mam, not your nan. You. Alone.

So why do people like you care so much about who takes it and who doesn't?

Somewhere in Co. Down

I have had both my jabs through my job. We were given a choice I decided to get mine. There has been no consequences for those who didn't get it as it was our choice if we wanted it or not.

And I do think in time it will be a question on applications for jobs and no doubt will effect employers decisions when deciding to take someone on. But I can't see it being mandatory.

You're right, travel to various countries is limited and I am in the minority.

However, if we use global regions and travel as an example... there are plenty countries in certain regions where it's simply not an option not to be vaccinated, and the locals and regular travellers know that. We're very lucky in the UK not to be susceptible to many nasty viruses due to our climate, and we're not used to being on that list of countries that require proof of inoculation before entry or for working/living there.

Unfortunately, we have Covid about as bad as anyone, and we might find ourselves on that list, just like (for example) Indonesia for yellow fever, or Malaysia for malaria.

Just because we consider ourselves different to these countries doesn't necessarily make it so.

Companies can pretty much do whatever they like. Sorry but that’s a cold hard fact. If they assess that the best and most practical way for them to trade is to ensure their workforce have had a jab, then that will be the case. And in real terms, it is enforceable. 80% of labourers and skilled trades are self employed subcontractors. We will just seek the services of those who are vaccinated, and specify it as a requirement when tendering, excluding others.

As for office staff. You can get rid of anyone, for anything. Perfectly entitled to change company policy, consult employees, offer a new position that suits new circumstances, and then dismiss if unsuitable. The process takes about 10 weeks, and yes will be a bit costly if resistance, but worth it.

Personally, I wish it was easier to get rid of someone refusing to have it for any reason other than medical. The stress of keeping staff safe and permanently employed for the last 12 months, at great expense whilst working all over the country has frankly, made my husband just as ill as the virus could.

Some posters on this thread speak of it being their choice what they put into their own bodies and that is their right of course but we all consume fluorine from drinking water that comes from a tap because the authorities deemed it beneficial many years ago . It's not exactly the subject of this thread but an observation.

"Well said and true. I guess the issue is that what you describe is fairly niche - what % of jobs in the UK involve travel abroad and of those what % involve travelling to countries where, for example, yellow fever is a risk?

The reason this now becomes an issue of debate is that Covid Vaccine becomes widespread/national for all/most jobs regardless of their nature. So it goes from affecting a small % of workforce to pretty much everyone.

The “choice” argument becomes moot when all jobs require it. Currently someone can choose not to work in healthcare or a job with third world travel because they have access to many other jobs. You remove that you remove choice!

You're right, travel to various countries is limited and I am in the minority.

However, if we use global regions and travel as an example... there are plenty countries in certain regions where it's simply not an option not to be vaccinated, and the locals and regular travellers know that. We're very lucky in the UK not to be susceptible to many nasty viruses due to our climate, and we're not used to being on that list of countries that require proof of inoculation before entry or for working/living there.

Unfortunately, we have Covid about as bad as anyone, and we might find ourselves on that list, just like (for example) Indonesia for yellow fever, or Malaysia for malaria.

Just because we consider ourselves different to these countries doesn't necessarily make it so."

Agreed. I can see a future where tourists wanting to visit the UK will have to have a Covid vaccine in same way UK tourists have historically needed, say, yellow fever for Kenya.

Actually that is not the full picture. There is some positive evidence that the vaccines MAY prevent transmission but none of the studies are yet conclusive.

Or google search “do covid vaccines reduce transmission” and then go to the Nature website.

It is promising but currently not enough data to be able to make the claim that vaccines also reduce transmission.

Companies are allowed to only offer jobs to those who are physically capable (another 'human right' society invents - disability can indeed preclude you from consideration, fair hiring practice is a myth)

So by your logic, if Covid is a long term issue in the UK (which it will be, mutations, seasonal, etc) shouldn't companies be allowed to mandate inoculation for workers? Just like we may mandate inoculation for visitors?

Is some of this about viral load so 1 Peron only passes a smaller amount on to the second if they have are vacenated the then transmit even less and so trans motion is driven down

Eh... there's growing evidence that the vaccines reduce transmission, and there's the matter of how quickly we can return to some sort of normality being contingent on high levels of vaccination, so wind your neck in.

Absolutely so. Almost by definition, if being vaccinated means that a person's body starts fighting the virus sooner, then there will be less build up of virus and it will be cleared out sooner. So less viral load plus for less time equals less chance of passing it on to others.

Less chance of passing it on means less people catching it, so less people around that you could catch it off. So eventually even the unvaccinated people won't catch it, because there will only be one in a million that have got it.

So yes you can still catch covid when you're vaccinated, and you can still pass covid on when you're vaccinated, but a few months down the line when enough people have been done (but it's got to be enough of ALL people, not just the vulnerable), the number of cases will fall and keep falling. And it'll be safe to start living properly again.

Solid logic here, yes, but:

Most infections come from pre-symptomatic cases. People often confuse pre-symptomatic with asymptomatic. Less than 1% of all cases come from asymptomatic people.

Here's a link for credibility :

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6491/eabb6936

If you and your family have the vaccine. Hell all vulnerable people in the whole country had the vaccine (which is pretty much the case at this point) - it shouldn't matter weather some people who are perfectly healthy have the vaccine or not have it as it will not affect anyone who has been vaccinated in any shape or form.

Amount of people who do not develop any symptoms at all after contracting covid is amazingly high - 86%!

Here's another link for credibility:

https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20201009/86-percent-of-the-UKs-COVID-19-patients-have-no-symptoms.aspx

It means that 86% of population will not even need to protect themselves from anything as they are not affected by it in any way.

So why not protect the vulnerable, give them a vaccine which amazingly helps them so much and just stop bullying strangers by making them feel like they're killing people?

Why support an agenda that could potentially force people into unnecessary, unwanted medical treatment?

Well you've changed your tune

But you still make little sense. The bottom line is that the more people get vaccinated, the less of the risk this virus poses to everyone and the quicker we get back to living. It's as simple as that really.

Firstly not every vulnerable person has been vaccinated in the UK because we have only completed 4 of the 9 priority groups.

Secondly of course it matters if the so called healthy population choose not to vaccinate Because that gives the virus chance to mutate compromising potentially the vaccinated it's common sense really.

Exactly this.

It can mutate to deadly variants rendering the vaccine useless and could have a bigger possibly deadlier impact on 'the healthy'.

that in itself depends on the industry sector. if people are to be believed as to the numbers of others ignoring the rules it would follow that they would also ignore vaccination status too. i'm not advocating anything but the calls for a vaccine passport may ultimately be an expensive and unworkable waste of time in the same way as track and trace or the various quarentine attempts that've been made over the last year. this the UK we are talking about here and the culture of individual selfishness that has been propagated & nurtured into society over the last 4 decades is biting the country on the backside now.

Less chance of passing it on means less people catching it, so less people around that you could catch it off. So eventually even the unvaccinated people won't catch it, because there will only be one in a million that have got it.

So yes you can still catch covid when you're vaccinated, and you can still pass covid on when you're vaccinated, but a few months down the line when enough people have been done (but it's got to be enough of ALL people, not just the vulnerable), the number of cases will fall and keep falling. And it'll be safe to start living properly again.

Solid logic here, yes, but:

Most infections come from pre-symptomatic cases. People often confuse pre-symptomatic with asymptomatic. Less than 1% of all cases come from asymptomatic people.

Here's a link for credibility :

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6491/eabb6936

If you and your family have the vaccine. Hell all vulnerable people in the whole country had the vaccine (which is pretty much the case at this point) - it shouldn't matter weather some people who are perfectly healthy have the vaccine or not have it as it will not affect anyone who has been vaccinated in any shape or form.

Amount of people who do not develop any symptoms at all after contracting covid is amazingly high - 86%!

Here's another link for credibility:

https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20201009/86-percent-of-the-UKs-COVID-19-patients-have-no-symptoms.aspx

It means that 86% of population will not even need to protect themselves from anything as they are not affected by it in any way.

So why not protect the vulnerable, give them a vaccine which amazingly helps them so much and just stop bullying strangers by making them feel like they're killing people?

Why support an agenda that could potentially force people into unnecessary, unwanted medical treatment?

Firstly not every vulnerable person has been vaccinated in the UK because we have only completed 4 of the 9 priority groups.

Secondly of course it matters if the so called healthy population choose not to vaccinate Because that gives the virus chance to mutate compromising potentially the vaccinated it's common sense really.

Exactly this.

It can mutate to deadly variants rendering the vaccine useless and could have a bigger possibly deadlier impact on 'the healthy'."

I personally know 2 people that were totally healthy Prior to catching covid and both of them 3 months on have still not been able to return to work.

We are considered to be exceptionally vulnerable to this virus however when we caught it over Christmas, well to be honest iv had worse colds. People I know that have no underlying health conditions in their late thirties or early forties were totally wiped out for days by it and some hospitalised so nobody knows their risk. A game people are misunderstanding I haven't seen people saying anybody should be forced to have a vaccine however people do have to realise our choices do you have implications on others. That isn't opinion that is fact.

I’ve had the jab but I’m afraid this is an ethical slippery slope. By effectively making the vaccine mandatory by the back door this is a huge step in state control. This kind of thinking concerns me. Our bodies are just that and whatever the reason no one should be forced to be injected with something they don’t want. What if the government forced microchip tracking in order to get a job in the basis that 24 hour monitoring of our vital signs and movement would keep us safe. Would you agree to that?

A vaccine certificate is mandatory in many countries for access to education so why is it ridiculous?

Not in this country. I will cross that bridge if it comes to it, my children will make their own choice as to whether they have it or not.

'Choice' being the operative word there. Don't you think people should be able to choose what they put into their bodies?"

Yes your choice.

"Oh and by the way ...

Slag Bozza, the Govt, the NHS, the military, and local authorities off all you like ... to get 15 million folk offered vaccines (even if Fuckwitts refuse) in 7 weeks is god dammed amazing

.... I get mine on Monday ... bring it on -can’t wait.. respect to all

R. X

Yet some fuckwits still don't understand that this particular vaccine is for personal protection- prevention of developing severe symptoms, so getting it does not help saving anyone else but yourself. You can still catch the virus and have it and maybe be sick with it, only you're less likely to need to be treated in a hospital or die. You're getting a drug to help you. Not society,( you can still spread the virus), not your mam, not your nan. You. Alone.

So why do people like you care so much about who takes it and who doesn't?

Actually that is not the full picture. There is some positive evidence that the vaccines MAY prevent transmission but none of the studies are yet conclusive.

Not sure if I will be allowed to paste a link (or partial URL) but...

nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00450-z

Or google search “do covid vaccines reduce transmission” and then go to the Nature website.

It is promising but currently not enough data to be able to make the claim that vaccines also reduce transmission.

Is some of this about viral load so 1 Peron only passes a smaller amount on to the second if they have are vacenated the then transmit even less and so trans motion is driven down

Absolutely so. Almost by definition, if being vaccinated means that a person's body starts fighting the virus sooner, then there will be less build up of virus and it will be cleared out sooner. So less viral load plus for less time equals less chance of passing it on to others.

"@Polly_Chromatic and@MrAndMrsRight both excellent posts.

We need more of that kind of discussion and less of the opinionated idiots (on both sides) laying down the law and attacking each other or, actually worse IMO, the passive aggressive blanket statements many post.

Because somebody's post isn't full of facts and figures and data does not make them idiots you really do need to stop being so offensive in your posting.

This is about opinions people don't need to have a degree in science for them to be valid.

Have you seen the way people are insulting each other across the forums?

Afraid I do not agree with you. There are people spouting opinion as fact rather than having a civilised debate/discussion.

I have very strong disagreements with people, I have never felt the need to call anybody an idiot.

You might not agree with it I might not agree with but it doesn't make them an idiot.

Most of us are able to have civilised discussions without claiming people are idiots is the upshot of my post. "

Indeed but unfortunately there are plenty (on both sides) who are clearly incapable of civilised debate/discussion without resorting to insults. Calling people covidiots, labelling Vaccine Hesitant people Anti-Vaxxers or even implying they want people to die or are selfish, and in the other side calling people sheeple, govt shills etc

So yes I do think people who cannot have a sensible polite discussion are idiots.

"makes no odds to the self employed

On the surface I would say I agree but it is going to come down to the type of self employed job you do and whether your clients/customers insist of Covid certification.

that in itself depends on the industry sector. if people are to be believed as to the numbers of others ignoring the rules it would follow that they would also ignore vaccination status too. i'm not advocating anything but the calls for a vaccine passport may ultimately be an expensive and unworkable waste of time in the same way as track and trace or the various quarentine attempts that've been made over the last year. this the UK we are talking about here and the culture of individual selfishness that has been propagated & nurtured into society over the last 4 decades is biting the country on the backside now."

I think we can be confident that if there is a way for a Govt Minister or Tory Party Donor to monetise a Covid Certification system - then it WILL happen!

So only an illusion of “choice” then because someone’s ability to work, socialise or travel will be severely limited if you do not have a “vaccine certificate”?

"plus where logically is the need for force when we've vaccinated from the vulnerable to frontline down to the least vunerable?

kids got a running nose don't go to nana's.

it's called personal responsibility. I can more than do than on my own since I know the subtle tickles and such when something is invading, other should learn the same and employers need to stop insisting folk are in work when they are unwell (the move to work at home helps) SSP needs a serious upgrade especially for the lowest earners, who literally cannot afford to miss out on pay (first 3 days in 26 are not paid) and to a hand to mouth livers they cannot afford to do it, many were using food banks before covid.

Many more issues than just covid related ones and if they were corrected it would help infection control.

Most folk have now had a big wake up call not to be so selfish and go out when you suspect your ill. "

Interesting.

You talk about taking personal responsibility. But refuse to take any.

You talk about people being less selfish, and yet your attitude is exactly that.

Every comment and every post you've written here shows you to be entirely irresponsible, selfish and self centred.

Notwithstanding even single "they can't do that because xyz" comment you've typed is wholly wrong.

Grow up, stop acting like a spoilt, petulant child.

"Lots of job types already require you to have had jabs against all sorts of things. For example I believe that undertakers and people who handle the deceased don't get the necessary licence unless they've been vaccinated against all manner of ailments.

Yet and you can't work as a Nurse with out hep b and c I guess same for doctors and Sami in fresh water companies so it's not even a new thing

I used this example the other day branch you think it's quite a good one. Many jobs require you have a DBS check to protect others, if you choose not to have one or wont pass one you won't get the job.

If an employer feels you would be a risk to others they can choose not to employ you. "

Depends if an ambulance arrive be for I had a hart attack as they could see something was going wrong then I might.

If I was a passenger on a coach about to crash and the driver was alerted the even more so but we are a long way from this. Even the best fit watch is not that good. But some people are starting to ware devices to moniter blood suger to get a warning of a problem.

What has also been said is we have no control over what other countries decide to do. If it becomes difficult for UK people to travel abroad because they don't have proof of vaccine easily available to them then yes we probably will have one but that makes sense that things will change depending on the circumstances.

No I'm very clearly saying the things you are saying it's discrimination has been happening for decades.

Also having a disability is not a choice but people are not allowed to work in certain professions because of their disability so I don't see how is wrong that somebody makes an absolute choice that puts other people at risk is discrimination.

I didn't say you haven't been up in arms I asked if you had so I didn't make any assumptions.

You have a choice not to have the vaccine I have a choice not to employ it is a simple as that.

There are many places disabled people cannot go because it is not accessible for them, many jobs people with certain health conditions cannot do, many countries its not safe for certain groups to travel to. Have you been up in arms about this? Disability is not a choice, taking a vaccine is.

It's funny how everyone is banging on about their right to choise not to have a vaccination while saying anybody who wont-work with someone or employ someone that hasn't had it is some how discriminating against them.

Not sure I understand your argument? Are you saying two wrongs make a right? Are you saying because people with disabilities have historically been discriminated against it is now ok to discriminate against others?

Also, how do you know what I have been “up in arms against” previously?

No I'm very clearly saying the things you are saying it's discrimination has been happening for decades.

Also having a disability is not a choice but people are not allowed to work in certain professions because of their disability so I don't see how is wrong that somebody makes an absolute choice that puts other people at risk is discrimination.

I didn't say you haven't been up in arms I asked if you had so I didn't make any assumptions.

You have a choice not to have the vaccine I have a choice not to employ it is a simple as that.

It is well known within Govt circles (yes I do have first hand knowledge) that “no plans” is a simple get out clause to say “we do not rule this out in future”.

If it can be monetised it will happen.

BTW this is the same Nadhim Zahawi who last summer started a company with his wife and sons as directors and shareholders to distribute/supply medical equipment. Best keep a close eye on those Govt contracts huh?"

this is the same Zahawi who has been disgraced several times over the last decade mainly for erroneously claiming huge sums in expenses to fund his businesses on his private estates. i certainly wouldn't give credence to this man who in any other walk of life would have been rendered un-employable for his past illegal activities.

Totally agree that for travel purposes we may need vaccine certificates in future (happens already) but I would argue it is totally the choice of an individual to visit another country. It is not a choice to work and earn money.

Of course there are already plenty of jobs that for good reasons require some vaccinations, but these are invariably jobs that involve close or invasive contact with members of the public.

Why should, for example, a home/remote working IT Consultant or Telesales person need it?

we already have a working system of certification for foreign travel to destinations requiring certain vaccines and it works very well indeed. why bother creating a new one unless it is merely the government handing itself yet another licence to print money?

Any employer has a right to say you need to meet certain criteria to work for them.

Absolutely nobody is saying people who choose not to have a vaccine should not work however it is their choice.

Choices have consequences.

If the employers insurers insist on it, the employer will have to accept it, as will the employee.

As has been stated repeatedly here, there are literally hundreds and thousands of jobs that already have criteria like this within their contracts.

It's reasonable and with something so easily transmitted like C19, it's wholly responsible on the part of the employer and employee.

"I would have to seriously consider losing my job. No one is going to dictate to me what I put in my body. And to the person who said it should be mandatory how ridiculous "

Exactly this. Its waist of time anyways as its mutating to different strains all time. The vaccine you've already had not worth anything. Unless your all going to take vaccine every six months for ever. My choice, my body I'm not being forced to take something not trialled properly.

Was there lockdown with the plague? No. Was there lockdown with other serious flu ? No. Just government taking over our rights and freedoms

I believe the plague was eradicated by burning cities to the ground.

I kind of prefer lockdown.

Your statement has kind of proved the point why everybody should be vaccinated because the people that aren't vaccinated are going to be spreading it therefore giving the chance for it to mutate.

BTW not sure the word “discrimination” has been used in any of my posts but happy to be corrected?

Yes plenty of jobs already require vaccines but for the most part they are for roles that involve close or invasive contact with the public. I asked about two specific roles (as examples above) which were not responded to...

Unless your response was the insurance angle. Well yes if it becomes an insurance issue then game over though I would still challenge why that is appropriate.

If all jobs go down that route then there clearly is no choice so may as well admit it is mandating vaccination by stealth!

The point on transmission is interesting as currently there is no conclusive evidence the vaccines reduce transmission. I think if that ends up being proven then it is a game changer because the argument moves from one about “I have a right to choose what I do to my body” to one about community ethics.

Yes and there was lockdowns because entire cities were totally shut off and nobody was allowed in or out.

According to the CDC these diseases have been eradicated due to vaccination. As you say, no proof vaccinations work.

I love it when people quote historical facts to support a narrative. It's even funnier when their historical "facts" are wrong.

And lolling comparative medicine between 2020 and 1666, like there's an equality of knowledge there.
