"Regardless of belief In the vaccine or ones Intention to have It. People must see that by forcing people to have the vaccines goes against the grain of this country, the freedoms that this country has worked and fought for and It also sets dangerous presidents for the future."
This. It's also counter-productive. The way to get people to be vaccinated is to vaccinate lots of people. Eventually, many sceptical people will realize that it's safe. You'll never convince the nutters, but then facts are not their stock in trade.
However, I don't think for a minute that the govt. will be able to mandate domestic Covid vaccination 'passports'. They will be need for foreign travel though as airlines will be shit-scared of being sued by passengers. Other countries will want to know that someone entering has been vaccinated.
The whole idea of showing a vaccination certificate at pubs and clubs is laughable. Unless you set up a multi-billion pound department to ensure security, people will be printing them off at home. You could try an App, but that didn't work out too well last time did it!
Most importantly, a vaccination certificate DOES NOT prove that you can't spread coronavirus. It means that you are protected to a large extent from serious symptoms. Your risk of transmitting the virus is only reduced not eliminated. In other words, you could still have a the virus spreading within a group of 200 drinkers all of whom have been vaccinated.
The only real way to prove that someone does not have the virus is to perform a PCR test, but does anyone really want to wait outside the pub for 36 hours whilst it is processed? Lateral flow tests are excellent at picking up positives, but they have a huge false negative rate. They won't ensure a 'COVID-free' event either. The only way is to devise a rapid test that is instant and 90% accurate and specific. This ain't going to happen any time soon.
