• I understand the arguments against vaccine mandates, although I'm far from convinced by them as I don't believe that they would set a precedent.

    What I don't understand is the argument that having a Covid vaccine is a 'personal choice', therefore anyone who choses not to is beyond reproach because it's a 'personal choice' and should be treated no differently to people who have done the right thing and got one, which appears to be a popular if, to my mind, rather mystifying argument.

    It's the same old shite that you see recycled in all kinds of arguments about censorship and choice now. I cAN dO wHaT I wAnT!

    To an extent, yes, but not if it harms others. You also have to accept that your choices might have consequences.

    Surely the simple way out of this is to give vaccinated people priority for Covid treatment?

  • You also have to accept that your choices might have consequences.: No vax or negative LFT, no fun for you.

    But I am having my doubts when it comes to mandatory vaccination for work.

    And reading the carehome staff that quit their job over vaccine mandates, it can be more complex than "selfish prat".

    This seems worse to me than vaccine mandates, I've no problem withholding access to pubs or clubs or whatever if you choose not to vaccinate or test first, but healthcare should very much be for all no matter what, even if you're a stupid cunt.
