Originally posted by Whorty View PostAirlines are businesses so they can set many of their own rules, within certain boundaries; for example, they can choose to not allow on their aircraft people who are drunk. It's only a small step to see them stopping entry to their aircraft, to protect their other passengers and their staff, if you have not been vaccinated.
There is also the possibility that countries put pressure on airlines and won't allow passengers to alight if they have not been vaccinated.
Given the cost so far to countries and their economies, and the loss of life, these are not so hard to imagine.
You may think otherwise. You may refuse to have a vaccine, and, as you say, the UK government won't force you to as it's not our way, but that doesn't mean you will be allowed to board a plane or boat in future.

I see ticketmaster is going to be requiring proof of vaccination or negative test result, so I think we will find out soon if this gets challenging legally and what comes out of it. I can't see any private company being able to do this, but it's like the wild west out there right now, companies are just doing whatever they want with no real regard for law right now.

It's the best way out of current tulip really - get vaccinated and this gets you digital ID that you can show when accessing a range of optional for life places like pubs, restaurants etc.

Countries may require vaccination to enter but this is different than an airline refusing service, except where required by the country you are visiting.
The UK might conceivably require a CV vaccination to enter, but that doesn't mean citizens are required to have one to live here. Equality law protects peoples' rights not to.

Originally posted by Whorty View PostNot true, although I can believe this narrative is being spread by anti-vaxxers.
There are many countries that refuse entry without proof of a Yellow Fever vaccine. It's not a hard leap to think countries would do the same for CV19 given the social and economic damage that a future outbreak could cause.
