If people couldn't have the vaccine for medical reasons, kids, etc could have some sort of exemption. I agree there would have to be exceptions.Except those that can't take the vaccine for some reason, and children. What choice do they and/or their parents get.
What do we do next year, spend taxes on re-vaccinating everyone for free? If not how do poorer people pay for their own vaccinations? How do you fund and staff this effort?
Once those who want to be vaccinated are, I am failing to see that there is much risk above the standard winter flu. We read efficacy figures of 90% and that is just for symptomatic cases.
I am all for encouraging people to be vaccinated, not for limiting their lives because they don't want to be vaccinated, or simply cannot be.
Come up with a strategy for next year, what do we do about vaccinations then? How do we pay for it and how do we roll out a programme like that again without using too many overstretched NHS resources.
I don't see it as the thin edge of wedge with regards to civil liberties. If you had to flash a vaccine card or an exemption card to get in somewhere I wouldn't be too bothered - purely regarding vaccine though.
Some employers have already said they are going to require staff to have the vaccine.
Regarding the passport/card to get in to pubs etc, it's only a hypothetical debate anyway. I think it's highly unlikely to happen.
