Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Also limits have to be arbitrary, why can someone not drink alcohol one day, have a birthday the next and now drink all they want? Unless a country wants to go the route of means testing everything ("are you mature enough to drink alcohol test") then it has to be arbitrary distinctions and the easiest one to put in place is age.

It's also your opinion that they would only be getting vaccinated to go to McDonalds, scientifically, they're turning a low chance into an almost non existent chance of severe disease, reducing their chances of being infected, of passing it on and reducing the symptoms they would have if infected.

I think the 17 year old can decide for themselves if they get vaccinated or not (open to correction and practicalities as well).

There was ad ad on this morning about giving vaccinations abroad and anne doyle ( the narrator) said no one is safe till

we are all safe.

Seriously this is beyond cringe.

So we're living as normal same as 2019?

True, however, this is a thread on the discussion of restrictions, I was fully aware that adults were being restrictions without a pass as over 18! I was highlighting, that for under 18's there are restrictions placed on their lives.. by the government.. as a coercion tool to get a vaccine that is not really needed for a healthy 17 year old.

I find it amusing that the question you ask is about the unvaxxed 17 year old and not the child that got his PCR results today and will head into the cinema.. if he got a test today he wither had symptoms or was close contact.. But YEAH... target the unvaccinated for your questions ! Madness

The 12 year old cant go either. Everyone u18 has to have proof of vaccination or recovery if under the age of 18 and unaccompanied.

If there's someone over 18 with them that is fully vaccinated then none of the u18s are checked

Makes no sense, I know.

The cinema states over 13! I thought it was 12 aswell.. as they are eligible for the vaccination.. mind boggling stuff

Ah goodnight. I'm wasting my time with your disingenuous pedantic nonsense.

Ignore list.

If he was vaccinated he could go to the cinema and Mc D's and would have the same freedoms as the other 92% of the country. When he or his parents decided not to get him vaccinated they knew full well that this could potentially happen. The teenager has a choice, he can get vaccinated and go to the cinema/food outlet or not get vaccinated and not go

Besides, what's worse, not going to the cinema or catching a deadly disease?

Maybe the vaccines are so good that a vaccinated person emits a protective cloud that wards anybody within its radius?

Unless that person is in a pub of course, it doesn't work there because covid loves alcohol so much.

What about the large highly populated urban areas that are Dem controlled which have low vaccination rates in the African American and other ethic populations? You're hardly suggesting that these Dem controlled areas are being influenced by some crackpot GOP members?

Not everything is black and white. There is nothing but shades of grey, particularly when it comes to anything in the USofA.

It was ridiculous to blame one person for the high death rate over there, especially considering States have a hell of a lot of control over what they implement with the federal government not having much of a say really.

About the best thing either Trump or Biden could have done was pump federal money into development and supply of vaccine which they have both done.

I just meant he could go if vaccinated. So was wondering why he wasn't to see the injustice of it all.

Funnily, if there was a vaccinated/recovered adult with them the 17 year old was free to enter the cinema. That's Covid logic!

He was really out of luck so with the high percentage of vaccinated people available haha

While Lockdown certainly meant different to others since 2020 lets not get away from the fact that also lockdown is not being able to live a normal life, we are being treated like we do not know how to live or act. I have seen your replies so its not about 2km or 5km or entry to pubs etc but if people who are not unvaccinated can not live a normal life unless they get a vaccine for a virus that most healthy young people wont die from.

Mental Torture is also a form of Lockdown for people, MSM are running ads about people not going to the party cause they had sniffles etc thats a major form of lockdown cause people will think they are a danger to society if they go outside and interact with others if they have a runny nose.

For you this may not feel like a lockdown cause "you can do you want" as long as you keep your vaccine schedule up to date but for others this is a lockdown
