People disbelieving in Covid and vaccines in general isn't necessarily a consequence of Brexit-related disillusionment toward the Establishment.

Are some places such as clubs, concerts and others threatening to not allow access without being vaccinated.

Nobody may be physically forcing them, yet, but they're getting looked at as second class citizens. So I can see why they'd be protesting. They only get one life and people are interfering in theirs.

If cake makers who are religious are allowed to decline to make gay wedding cakes (this should be allowed btw), why shouldn't businesses be allowed to decline people who aren't vaccinated?

And I din't say anything about any of that, just that we've had people in power telling everyone that experts are know-nothings, and then we see Galahads storming the castle. Nothing happens in a vacuum, Oliver.

This is personally excluding people simply because they don't want to inject something into their body.

And frankly some "experts" are fricken morons :joker: I've never been one to just follow the appeal-to-authority mindset, especially when most of those in authority need their heads examining.
BUT when virtually every doctor and epidemiologist says the same thing, those nutters should either shut up and take notice, or quietly decide to shoot their own foot by not getting the vaccine, but also not go to stupid protests.

It's freedom. The freedom to choose whether they want to inject something into their body. That's their valid reason.

There's no such thing as a gay cake. There are wedding cakes, and gay people can get married. A wedding is a wedding. Doesn't mean the baker should be made to provide a service to someone they don't want to, but a cake is a cake.

Anti-vaxxers are not second class citizens, they are ignoring science to fuel their own fake victimhood and they are the architect of their own suffering. People who choose to endanger others by not vaccinating themselves in a global pandemic when there's no health reasons to do so are deserving of every self inflicted misery that falls upon them. Absolute bottom feeders.

It's got nothing to do with being entitled, it's discriminating against people simply because they refuse to take medication, it's medical tyranny. It's no different to stopping someone from entering their business simply for the colour of their skin. It's treating them like second class citizens, no different to only allowing people to sit at the back of the bus.

Trust you to be on side with that.

So what? They're free to ignore it if they want to do so, who are you, Dr Mengle? Pin em' down and inject em, shall we?

Is it OK if religious people discriminate against you for ignoring God?

those ''god lovers'' also continued to go to church last year, when it was forbidden to allow 100 or more people in indoors :skull:

If they catch the virus and are sadly admitted to hospital, I am sure they will trust the science then to use medicines to help them get better. If they don't trust the science of the vax, thats fine but they have to accept that the restrictions are there to protect the many.

You aren't going to 'catch the gay' by serving gay people, but your staff and your customers certainly risk catching covid if a pro-disease arsehole spreads their germs about.

It shouldn't really need explaining, It's basic and obvious to anyone with a few braincells.

You do understand why they're there, don't you?

I have a friend who has not taken the vax. He spent years taking Class A drugs cutbwith with god knows what but now is worried what is in a tested vaccine? Makes no sense to me but it is his choice.

They have the right to protest but the safety of the majority will hopefully prevail.
