You are saying that restricting someone's 'freedoms' make vaccine not voluntary.
Perhaps there is a bit of coercion, that being said, people are free to take it or not. If they do not they can't expect to be allowed to spread the disease and potentially kill other people.
When disease is eradicated they can be free to do whatever they like, until then they should be acting like responsible adults.
Your example of organ donor is unreasonable... a better example would be someone with active TB being allowed to go out and cough everywhere... That is also illegal... regardless if everyone else is vaccinated or not.
> To clarify I'm talking about domestic 'vaccine passports'. The word in the UK at least is used to describe the introduction of proving your identification and vaccination status every time you go into a restaurant or bar within the country etc as they have introduced in France, which also keeps a log of everywhere every citizen has visited.
That's just enforcing the law... Can't have a law that nobody checks.
Reasonable people can have different opinions on this.
Covid will never be eradicated, and I don’t personally think the price on passes (needing to carry and show your papers everywhere) is worth the prize.
“Carry your papers” and “papers please” was an authoritarian / police state trope a few years ago, so I think it’s something we have to be very careful introducing as these things can be hard to unwind after.
But again, a reasonable person could disagree, we all have to accept there is no absolute right or wrong here.
> . If they do not they can't expect to be allowed to spread the disease and potentially kill other people.
Wrong argument to use since vaccinated people spread the virus just as well. Get your facts right when you want to debate. Also, if you are vaccinated your risk of dying is virtually zero, so why would YOU care?
