Kaeren, I get your point but for this scenario let's assume they took a PROmate so yes, I'm sure.
Nova, sorry for your wait. I know it isn't easy. We know the vaccine doesn't stop the spread but covid passes appear to me to be possible causes of spread. More spread = more opportunity for virus mutation.
Secondly, my age group for a fit and healthy person is very very very low risk for being hospitalised so I don't believe it is all age groups that are the problem. Yes there are exceptions to that rule as there are with most rules but in terms of contribution to overspilling hospitals it is miniscule. I understand people's argument of taking valuable beds if it is aimed at maybe the vulnerable or the elderly as they are proven to be far more likely to require a bed if they catch covid. Having said that, the decision to take a vaccine should still be made by the person receiving the jab. If they say no then it is down to the government to educate and persuade based on the risks/rewards.
All I here the government say is 'get a jab, it's safe'.
Not everyone needs a jab. There are countries that can't get any because countries like the UK are using them unnecessarily imo.
