    The language intrigues me. 'Admitted to hospital with Covid' or 'admitted to hospital for covid treatment'... ?

    100% the wrong decision to need proof of vaccination to enter any establishment.

    The only downside to not having an vaccination should be the health risk to yourself of not having it. In a "true" pandemic you wouldn't need to twist people's arms to have a vaccine.

    Creating an 'us an them', two tier society, especially targeting an age group that have given up lots without actually having much risk themselves is a joke decision. The fact people support this move saddens me.

    What I find worrying is the way these decisions are changing the way I think.

    I'm not vaccinated. I chose not to 'take up the option' after doing research and thinking long and hard. I believe my decision was valid based on the concerns I had. The problem now is that's it's becoming a matter of principle. The threats and blackmail to coerse people into getting the vaccine is making me more stubborn.

    I always said that should the relevant missing safety data be made available and once the long term side effects are known, I would reconsider my options.... now I'm not so sure.

    Some people's stance.

    "Covid Passports are a good thing because the 12.5% of adults not getting vaccinated are a danger to me"

    Also some people

    "I'm more than happy to go on holiday to a place which is miles behind in vaccine rollout"

    What benefit do they give you? If you could test and release yourself from isolation then it might be worth looking at.

    All they bring is potential restrictions like the app. We are 17 months into a pandemic and with all the extra testing available, the fact millions are double jabbed and we are still living with isolation terms from month 3 of the pandemic.

    The pilot scheme the PM wanted to ride to release himself should by default be available to all. My daughter has been in isolation for 22 of the last 20 days and she hasn't got the virus.

    This should have been looked at months ago. They say it is changing mid August but why not now, what difference will it make if we moved that to now?

    I see Dominic Cummings is on the TV tonight with more examples of the mentality of the buffoon running the show at the moment.

    Remember this is a few months after he nearly died.

    It does need to be stopped. Its not about being 'anti vaccine'. The vaccine itself should be a personal decision that everyone is able to make for themselves, fully informed of the risks either way (and even that isn't happening).

    This is now about a totalitarian, facistic level of control that governments across the world are looking to embed, on the basis of medical apartheid.
