    The articles I saw on the in TV news said the vaccine passports, would be people vaccinated, having a negative covid test or a positive antibodies test.A great deal of both my friends and family who voted "remain" are now very glad we're out

    Just gently cogitating here and I idly wondered, do you think that vaccine refuseniks and BREXITERS are the same group? 
    I think B3 is right - the anti-vaccers I've met tend to be knit your own yoghurt types who generally voted remain in a peace and love sort of way. But there may also be some who just won't listen to someone who knows what they're talking about - regardless of what they're talking about - so I expect there are quite a few Brexiters refusing as well. I also think there are racial groups who have a genuine - and perfectly rational - mistrust of the Government. The institutional racism that apparently doesn't exist has had a deep impact on some groups. I have no idea how you get past it.

  • My daughter is very unhappy with the concept of needing a vaccine passport to go to pubs or restaurants as she is currently trying to conceive so probably won't be eligible for the vaccination when it's her turn. (My 96 year old mum's reaction was "But pregnant women shouldn't be going to the pub!"). I suppose if a negative test result was an alternative that would make it easier.

    Well I hope if there are vaccine passports its going to be administered properly as many years ago I went to Tanzania, Zambia and Kenya working for a children's charity and it was a requirement to have a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate, unfortunately on arrival as is the case with African bureaucracy nobody bothered to check to see if I had the documentation proving I had been vaccinated against Yellow Fever.

    Vaccine passports only work if there checked.

    If another country demands to see proof of vaccination before allowing entry, I suspect a lot of the antivaxxers will have the jab, rather than stay at home.  The other option is to stay in UK and have a rant about their human rights.

    Of course you can ask @Songbird-1.

    I was thinking both seem totally irrational to me, so that maybe there was a link. IMO there is such strong evidence for the vaccine and such strong evidence that remaining in the EU, that I wondered whether there would be a link between people who took the opposite view.

    I will get second jab when offered. Will go abroad - maybe - on sufferance. - to keep the peace  I'd rather play in my garden. You always miss something  when you go away

    I feel it’s unfair to introduce passports until everyone who wants a vaccine can have one. Younger people are already being penalised too much and from my personal experience are much more likely to want the freedom to go to pubs, nightclubs, gigs etc. What about children? A lot of families go abroad on holiday. I am not worried about losing my rights, this pandemic has showed me how few of those I actually have.
