This is blatantly a punishment for not doing as you are told, and they have given up even pretending that it is about health, otherwise why allow lepers unvaccinated into supermarkets where nobody can avoid going, and where you are most likely to catch it from being breathed on in the queue and multiple mauling of products.
I wonder, could we all refuse to go anywhere that discriminates against the unvaxxed?
Are there enough objectors to make them think twice?
For clarity, I am triple AstraZeneca dosed, no Pfizer.
Vaccinations are only about personal health at the bottom line. They are trying to force everyone to get vaccinated to lower death & hospital rates. Denying access to supermarkets is one such pressure. Holding people down screaming and injecting them will be the next step; no exagerration, it is coming.
It is the logical next step for the solemn "we must for the greater good" brigade.
Trouble is they deliberately conflate and misled about Covid so much that in the one area that is clear - vaccinations are good and will save lives - millions don't believe them on this either and think it is all part of some sinister orchestration.
If they had not panicked, overreacted and talked such shit from the get-go, millions would not be resisting vaccination off the back of twitter misinformation and inflationary scare stories (ironically, replace twitter with MSM and vaccines with Covid and this is how this absurd epoch in our history started: inflationary scare stories.)
In this, there is a grimly pleasing symmetry to the stand off.
I am double AZ, and without doing much research was happy to get a boost. I went along for a booster, but couldn't get AZ unless a doctor wrote to say I was allergic to Pfizer/Moderna.
So I declined.
Looking into the AZ jab later, which I originally consented to because it is a traditional vaccine not one of the new mRNA types, it appears AZ themselves are not convinced a third jab is needed. Several studies seem to support this, but definitive evidence on the T-Cells is not there yet.
My understanding is that because AZ uses the whole virus, it protects you more than mRNA which only targets specific indicators, and if those parts of the virus DNA change, requires a further targeted jab. Whereas using the whole virus allows your T-Cells to be alerted to the invader in its entirety.
My cynical side tells me this is in large part about Money. Why have Sinopharm, or Sputnik not been authorized? They use standard vaccine technology, well tested over centuries, they work, but are from the dastardly Russians and Chinese.
My sensible self says there was a genuine urgency to use this new mRNA technology, developed for fighting cancers, but it has now clicked that there is profit to be made from an annual COVID jab, like the flu, instead of a traditional vaccine. The test whether my cynical self is correct may be the govt attitude to the non-profit AZ option, and whether they cease to fund a cheaper, and maybe more effective vaccine.

How interesting. I was led to believe that the Pfizer was far more effective, but not an option for me because of an allergy.
There was no doctor's note, but I had to go to the vaccination centre at the hospital, where they had all three versions in stock.
They referred to it as a third dose rather than a booster, so I am not sure if there is a difference?
You and others GM are sadly being proved correct on the authoritarian behaviours. We disagree on how they have arisen: I don't believe they are planned across world powers to some particular end. I think they are organic panicked knee-jerk reactions a Covid death-kiss between media and politicians. But yes it has surprised me just how dreadful things are becoming. I thought - naievly - that with vaccines the politicians would take the chance to calm the panic; but they have leant into it, if anything.

As well as big pharma money the cynic in me is also aware of the many issues Covid is a great mask for where this Gov is utterly failing: NHS, Brexit, immigration, knife crime.... Let's avoid asking all the real questions - there's a new variant!! 12 infected no one dead but non stop coverage....
