I agree, I’m just totally sick of it at this point.

Why not

For starters it will be hugely damaging to pubs and their business
Secondly we don't want to be in a position where we have to flash a little card to live a normal life ffs
It's not East Germany

Not at all, have someone at the door scanning. I'm sure than more enough people would be in favour of it to keep them in business.

Why on earth do you want us to live that way ...it's a revolting concept.

At the moment its completely sensible. Prevents people who are not protected acting irresponsibly

No sorry its an ugly shit idea that will kill off too many bars and pubs

Evo are you getting the vaccine? If so, why are you so against it.
Evo1883
Well-Known Member
I am getting the vaccine of course..but I'm against this
Pubs will suffer massively, no point opening nightclubs until later this year either as most u21 won't be vaccined until then anyway , alot of inner city bars will suffer too
Not to mention its a twatty idea to carry a card around saying you haven't got the lurgy
The extremely vulnerable have been vaccinated, the deaths to under 40s don't warrant this kind of action
Until Britain has vaccinated most people, then it's better to just continue to reasonably socially distance

To an extent I agree. Although I am against nightclubs opening up as they were, at least for the time being.

Life should return to normal after weve been vaccinated , we should however be sensible with border restrictions if other countries still lag behind

Surely better for the business than having to stay closed completely?

With a vaccine passport alot may Aswell just shut completely as many pubs won't make it past summer at this rate.
Why on earth do people want to carry a card around to say they've been vaccinated .
Continue with reasonable social distancing measures until Britain completes it vaccination program
And then get back to bloody normal and if the most vulnerable need annual jabs , then that's what should happen

But if we have vaccine passports we can get Dido Harding / Hancock's pal / Harry Redknapp's dog in charge of it all and pay them eleventy billion for the privilege.

I'm assuming this is another thing Johnson is just spouting off that will end up dying a death and pretending it was never suggested.

Well it won't, will it? They'd have to employ somebody to do it so they're down already

Why couldn't door staff do it?

Most pubs don't employ them

Wouldn't be any different to now being allowed in under age would it? Bar staff check id for that.
fernandopartridge

Yes it would. ID is checked for people who look 25 and under, who might represent a small percentage of punters.
Vaccine checks for everybody entering a pub? If it's a busy pub what's the point if the unvaccinated potentially infectious person stands at the bar for 15 minutes waiting?
It's totalitarian nonsense. Sorry.

The whole idea of vaccine checks for non travel is ridiculous. But also would be very difficult to set up.
Setting up an app with the QR code for individuals is the east part. You would then need a system to validate the QR at pub side. On top of this you would still need formal ID at the same time. Other wise could be anyone using someone else's QR.
This would not only be slow. It would also cost hundreds of millions if not more in infrastructure.
For travel its not as difficult as would have your passport with you.

Consider the case rate last summer when we had nobody vaccinated and tell me why this is needed when by June well over half of all adults will have been jabbed once if not twice?

It’s laughable - let’s say a woman has t had the jab as she’s expecting - should she be ostracised from society until she has a baby?

She probably shouldn’t be out drinking TBF

Cant eat either apparently
I’ve heard nothing to say it will be law ie it would be landlord, club owners choice. After the shit 12+ months of trading I can’t see many wanting to risk losing custom but enforcing this. As mentioned earlier this feels like a nudge to try to get as many vaccinated as possible
