• I'm not really bothered if vaccine passports have an impact on unvaxxed people

    In regards to their social lives? Or on their decision to take the vaccine?

    I think we need to move on to how to convince the vaccine hesitant (I'm more than happy to write off the AntiVaxxx, I don't think they can be swayed) and I agree with the paper I linked to before - a vaccine passport will do more harm to potential uptake than good. My argument isn't about people not being able to enjoy nightclubs... Non issue as far as I'm concerned.

  • Regarding anything they want to do where I (or anyone else vaccinated) might come into contact with them.

    My reading of it was that passports don't change vaccine hesitant opinions one way or the other. If that's the case then I'd rather they were introduced. Once they've realised they can't get into workplaces, pubs, whatever their stance on vaccine might change. It's all well and good saying you still won't get a jab if a passport is introduced but people claim all kinds of shit until things actually impact them.

    I think workplaces etc are bit more complicated but there's no fundamental human right to get a pint so I'd be fine if unvaccinated meant no access to non-essential shops, pubs, restaurants, sports facilities etc. We have probably 10% of staff either shielding or with immunodeficiency of some sort and the 2% of staff refusing to be vaccinated are becoming a major issue for them but our hands are tied under law here and we can't even ask them to have a test legally; all we can do is "force" them to work from home 100% of the time
