I've not seen evidence that they don't precent infection, just a lack of evidence that they do because it's not been tested for yet. Don't mix those two things up in your head.
That's the same I read. But I think you need some kind of evidence to restrict freedom of movement. You can't tell people not to take a bus just because they didn't take something that might prevent contagion or might just make them asymptomatic spreaders and has just 1/10 of the safety trial completed and no safety warrantee from the manufacturer, despite the very real existence of the emergency that justified the emergency use approval.
It is really that much of an imposition that you're not allowed to take a bus if you've not been vaccinated? As far as I can tell, most people that have invested in a car will almost always use that in preference to taking a bus or a train.
Yes, it is. Not everyone has a car, or a driving license, not everyone can pay for fuel for all their movements, not everyone lives in a place that has enough bandwith for cars (in some cities bicycles or public transport is much faster and more convenient).
And not everyone who didn't take the vaccine did it on their own will. Some may be under 16, severely alerghic, immunosupressed or have some contraindication [btw, anticoagulants seem
not to be a real contraindication as I said earlier, I've edited my post].
Now you'll have to show your medical records to the police or to a bus driver to prove that you can or cannot mount a bus ? It's just madness.
And some may just not be in a prioritary group. Or may have recently come from a country without effective access to the vaccine. There's lots of people to vaccinate. Until everyone who wants has been vaccinated I don't know why anyone should worry about those that don't want. They're not causing anyone to have higher risk of COVID-19. Not now anyway. And when everybody who wants has been vaccinated, we'll know more about safety, so the number who still won't want will be much smaller, possibly epidemiologically irrelevant. So hinting at measures against those who don't want to vaccinate now is quite authoritarian, even for people who aren't skeptical of the vaccines.
Some people eat badly, or smoke, or live sedentarian, or have philosophical attitudes that lead them to more stress and are more likely to get all sort of diseases, some of them contagious, so they are relatively more of a public health risk than others.
Some people who vaccinated with a 95% effective vaccine (assuming that's the efficiency for contagion too, not only symptoms) will be 20 times more careless with masks, social distancing and hand washing or social circles than some who didn't vaccinate but isolate, wash and wear mask as much as possible.
Let's not go near that slippery slope.
Do all education and publicity you want as soon as you want for the vaccines, I don't want to understate the effort and genius that has gone into them, but don't take measures against those who refuse. At least until 2022. Don't force your hopes unto others.
