So if your Great Gran were vaccinated before you, and had a vaccine passport, and wanted to visit, then you would say 'No, I can't travel so you can't either'?
Wouldn't that make you responsible for needlessly keeping families apart?
I’m advocating travel for anyone vaccinated and those with a negative test, so no.
I wish some of you would read further back than one post.
I think Ninja hits the nail on the head here, so many middle class people on here, barely effected by Covid, loads of them have even admitted on here how much they enjoyed lots of lockdown and being home more. So many of these are playing the “I’m happy to wait” card, many of them being handsomely paid to WFH or furloughed and utterly ignorant to the hardship so many have suffered this past year, suffering that may go on for a long time yet.
I’ve lost a company I built up for 11 years, finances been utterly annihilated, really struggling financially despite how well the state here try to support you, wedding, stag, honeymoon cancelled, I have a 2 year old daughter that might never see her Great Gran again, that is losing all connection to our family back home. I desperately miss home, I desperately miss my friends, I desperately miss my job/company.
This has all been done to protect a
tiny tiny fecking proportion of our population, and as country after country reduce their foreign aid it’ll feck over kids for decades in poorer countries, make no mistake about that. It pisses me off more than anything listening the righteous bollocks from so many on here living in countries with disastrous foreign and immigration policies pretending they give a shit about human life because all of a sudden now it’s life on their doorsteps we’re talking about. Seriously where were the same people demanding their governments helped Syria in 2015, fecking nowhere to be seen.
It’s fecking imperative that we get life going again as soon the vaccines are here and risk groups can be vaccinated. By June a large proportion of Europe will have been jabbed and we have the ability to test those who cannot be vaccinated or haven’t had the opportunity yet. At that point a vaccine passport or negative test will be more than enough.
But should those at the back of the queue wait even longer, maybe as much as another year, to get back to living life? feck off I say, vaccines will protect risk groups, and Covid will still be around without question, so a few negative tested people slipping the net will make feck all difference.
Would it have made any difference if the UK had allowed Swedes in last June, July? Would it bollocks, as 2 further lockdowns proves, I argued that then and hey, they fecking locked em out anyway and now loads on here want countries to keep continuing to play silly bollocks when zero-Covid is clearly a pipe dream, I don’t think there’s a single expert who believes it possible.
But so many that have feck all idea of how hard many have had it, and feck me I’m one of the lucky ones, despite how it may sound above, telling people not to be envious, or “life aint fair” is rich to say the least.
