Vaccine Passports? : Sun Dec 12, 2021 4:25 pm  

Does anyone know under new regulations what effect it will have on Wakefield games? I was going to buy me and my daughter a season ticket this weekend but as were unvaccinated I'm a little reluctant now. I don't remember anything being enforced in Early Summer when restrictions were lifted.

Have you been on Mars for a year by any chance. Please don’t buy tickets, don’t go, and save risking infection to yourself and others.

Hardly an appropriate answer is it. I went last year without any problems but I'm not sure how the previous restrictions compare to these new ones. As for not buying tickets you can stay in and hide behind the sofa for the rest of your life and rest of us will get on with it best we can.

Although I am triple jabbed by choice I respect but not fully understand people who aren’t, if only for the sake of protecting loved ones ,my mother is 95 and fit as a butchers dog and would hate to be the one who sends her on her way with a dose of the virus. But I’m also in the camp that we need to get back on with our lives as I firmly believe we will have to learn to live with this virus and it’s variants as I can’t see it going away anytime soon ,and will end up being a yearly vaccine like the flu one for the most vulnerable. Early door yet with this new variant but I’m hopeful rugby and most outdoor sports will go ahead as normal as possible without the need for passports and the like .Boris or whoever is in charge in the coming weeks/months will be caught between a rock and a hard place making future decisions on this sensitive matter .

Yes, I think it is an appropriate answer. That’s why I made it. You don’t have to agree, you don’t have to get jabbed. You also don’t have to go to hospital for treatment if you don’t want to be jabbed to avoid infection to NHS staff. You don’t have stand in a large crowd and risk infecting people because of your choices as you are more prone to infection than others. Unless of course there is something we don’t know and scientists are keeping from us.

No problem with anti vax brigade so long as they don't tie up any hospital beds.

I was going to make a decision on Boxing Day as to whether I was going or not but if you need to show a vaccine passport it’s likely I’ll be giving it a miss. I’ll be triple jabbed by then, I just can’t be bothered with the messing about. Once I know it’s a fluent process then it won’t be a problem, but I don't want to set off early, I’d rather have the time with the family.

What do you know of my medical status and history? Rather than put the worst possible interpretation of my actions you could have just answered the question if you knew the answer. I suppose that wouldn't give you a nice warm feeling of moral superiority.

I think there is a misconception here.

Vaccines do not stop the spread of Covid and this is typical of the governments woolly information.

You are at no more risk of catching Covid from an unvaccinated person than a triple jabbed person.

What you are at great risk of doing is dying should you contract it.

TBH I cannot think of any sane reason why you wouldn’t get jabbed. However the only person you are endangering is yourself.

I find that bonkers but if you have a death wish then so be it but the fact remains that the only person you are directly harming is yourself.

Indirectly you are destroying the ability of the NHS to treat sick people. That is a morally wrong thing to do in my book but what can we do, it’s a free country.

I agree with everything apart from that last bit.

Any anti-vaxxer/anti-masker, who continues to live their lives as though it's not real, and are placing themselves in situations where they are at increased risk of contracting the virus, are DIRECTLY putting the NHS under a pressure.
