Irish senator proposes vaccine passports should be needed to buy groceries
Reclaim The Net ^ | November 25, 2021 | Ken Macon

A Senator in Ireland has said that the government should consider banning those without a vaccine passport from public transportation and supermarkets, in one of the most extreme Covid proposals to date.

“Why not supermarkets? Why not public transport?” Senator Gerry Horkan asked. “I know it is difficult to police some of these things, but really, if you want to participate in society, you need to be vaccinated.”

While addressing the senate, Horkan said: “Here we are on 23rd November and the month of December is traditionally the most important for the licensed trade and hospitality business, at between 2.5 and three times the normal month. It is not like closing in March, November or October. It is a significant month. Of course, we have to have balance and of course we have to make sure we are safe, but it is so important that we encourage people…

“As others have said, vaccine certificates should be required for entry into gyms and hairdressers. Why not introduce such a requirement for supermarkets and public transport? I know it is difficult to police some of these things, but really, if people want to participate in society, they need to be vaccinated. If they do not want to participate in society, that is okay. They can stay at home; that is their business. However, unvaccinated people are putting themselves, their families, the rest of us and the economy at risk. None of us wants a lockdown. It is in all of our hands to behave as best we can. We can socialize safely. If people are vaccinated, it is unlikely to do them too much harm if they do not have a pre-existing condition.

A good example of why for some, the calls for such measures will never end. 95% fully vaccinated? Nope, not high enough, needs to be 99%.

As a matter of history and public health policy, is it even possible get a 90-95% vaccination rate?

Am pretty certain that attempts to prevent people from going to buy food will not end well.

The best and brightest left Ireland a long time ago; they may as well invite England back at this point. There is little religious difference left, as much of Ireland has lost the faith; who would even notice?

Hubby just had to have a jab J/J he now has signs of Myocardial disease. His daughter had 2, she was coughing yesterday, just like he is. Blaming it on sinus.

20 yrs USN VET, 20 yrs taking Flu shots as a Tech Jr College prof dutifully takes any vaccine his internist says he needs. I’m the rebel. And don’t take any, I’ve seen the damage they do. Tamiflu is a useless product that makes billions. Might shorten a bout half a day. few useful ones, and they are decades old.

Is not, could not and should not the senseless word ‘senseless’ be considered a racially toned attribute of the black motorist here?
If it fits then wear it.

Anyone advocating starving to death a cohort of the population that won’t “obey” needs to be tarred and feathered, two coats.

One wonders what is the Gaelic equivalent of, “What a schmuck!”

Unless he’s senator for life, he can be unelected at the next election, and any such restrictions reversed.

Funny how no one points that out.

If you want to participate in society, you need to be vaccinated.

Why? The so-called vaccines to not stop the spread of the virus. So why does everyone need to be vaccinated?

but really, if you want to participate in society, you need to be vaccinated.

I hope all of the morons who bought into the “15 days” and the stupid masks are taking notice. “Oh, just wear the mask. Slippery slope? Whatever are you going on about? Don’t you CARE?!”

Idiots. Anyone who couldn’t see where this was going, and how “15 days” and the masks were just the first steps in the march to tyranny, is dangerously ignorant and stupid. And we continue to pay the price for their fecklessness and stupidity.
