Only double vaccinated fans allowed in grounds

[Q]

Re: Only double vaccinated fans allowed in grounds

The vaccine stops the majority getting COVID, and as you say, it stops serious illness. There will be some instances but if they're pregnant etc, surely they'd need to shield anyway? If you don't want to get a jab, that's fair enough but it is clear this is just the start.

If someone is pregnant they can still have the jab

Anyone who does not have the jab due to anything other than a genuine medical condition should be kept out of society.

Re: Only double vaccinated fans allowed in grounds

What about those who are pregnant, or for whatever reason can't have the injection
Also the vaccine doesn't stop you getting covid it just lessens the risk of serious illness.

The second sentence of your post is just not true. You haven't been listening to the scientific information. After two jabs, the main vaccines in this country are around 60-70% effective at stopping people getting Covid at all and 85-90% effective at stopping serious illness, hospitalisation and death. They also reduce transmission of the virus by at least 50%. There are groups of people who wont get these levels of protection due to medical treatments/conditions etc (the shielders) who make up around 5% of the total population but the vast majority of the remainder will get these levels of cover. It is therefore entirely sensible and reasonable that anyone who could have the jabs but cant be bothered should be barred from attending large events. Why should the vast majority who have done the right thing and protected themselves and other people, be placed at risk. Shielders and other vulnerable groups can also make their own decisions and protect themselves as they see fit, if and when attending such events.

Surely Mark Drakeford must make a decision too. I can't believe Boris can make rules up for Welsh football clubs.

It can’t apply to Wales, otherwise Glamorgan wouldn’t currently be ‘sold out’ with poor crowds.

What an absurd plan.
Whatever the merits problems outside grounds near kick off time are already an issue.
Who is going to enforce this lunacy.
Boris is bonkers.
Discuss.

Don't you have vaccine cards?

Apparently vaccine cards are just for you, if you need prove then you have to go on the Welsh government website.
The NHS one to print out as proof only works in England

Whether you're pro vax that believe all the positive data or a anti vax that believe all the negative data. It's still a slippery slope for freedom and democracy.

The upside is that all the anti-science, anti-democracy cult members are the ones that are dying. As soon as I can get my 8 year-old daughter vaxxed, I can sit back and relax.

They were interviewing some youngsters on the news recently, asking why they didn't want the vax.

Best (worst) answer was one guy saying that it ws loaded with microchips so that Bill Gates can get all your bank details.

I think its a great idea. Makes it safer for everyone, it's also likely to make some of the selfish unvaccinated people get the vaccine. Heard lots say they will only get it if they will need it to go on holiday etc .

Imagine having something that tracked all your movements, spending habits, likes, dislikes etc etc. Scary as **** man. The weird thing is that for these kids, 1984 is in the past.

Re: Only double vaccinated fans allowed in grounds

There was a video on Facebook yesterday, showing an elderly chap who had the AZ jab. He became magnetic in the area where he was injected. Unfortunatly kids are social media hounds and will stiff out things nonsense like this to not get the vaccine.
