Which isn't likely to happen for another couple of years, so until then we have to be considerate of the people next to us (or those who's face is in yours) & stop being so Trumpian with the conspiratorial idiocy.

Don't be a pr!ck, get one!

I've had all three!

The point I'm making is that you can't discriminate against someone who doesn't want a jab, based on the reasons stated. Otherwise, you have to consider all the other things that can ether disrupt a training session, or put pressure on the health service and the public (which I think is the issue really being raised here).

Think of it this way: The leading causes of early death and hospitalisation are conditions related to poor lifestyle, NOT COVID Poor lifestyle also contributes greatly to COVID deaths. However, would we champion the banning of being overweight, consuming alcohol, cigarettes, partaking in hazardous sports like RL etc? Probably not.

We either make personal choices or we make everybody get treated identically. We can't act one way for COVID because it's something new and ignore other elephants in the room. If I was a super-fit 20-year who didn't drink or smoke, I too would probably rebel against being told to get jabbed by older fatter people!

The club already draw the line on what's acceptable and I can't see how making them get a Vax is worse than saying that if they don't eat right, then they'll get let go. Same goes for doing rehab, or drinking before games etc. I'm sure they can't do stuff like go skiing etc too. I'm even more baffled why some are so pro choice when it comes to vaccination. It's highly frustrating that people are being forced to isolate because of the pressure being put on the NHS from the morons who don't wanna get vaxed. (yes they are morons btw). The stats over the last few days say something like 90% in A&E are unvaxed. Those extra people up the pressure on the NHS and drives the current strategy. Their stupid and selfish choices impact everyone and the gov need to step in. It's up there with drink driving. By the pro choice logic it's acceptable to let everyone do what they want and drive drunk, regardless of what impact it has on others, plus at the same time stopping people who follow the rules from driving at certain times to accommodate the be!!ends. https://www.totalrl.com/french-covid-ru ... fbFPN0A5bA Seems they will be effectively suspended for not having the jab, albeit for 2 games in the season.
