I would hope this is just for care work (it shouldn't even be for that, it's disgraceful authoritarianism and signals a very sad day for this country).

True but atleast worst case a test is accepted. I work in retail and I am terrified for my job if I don’t have the vaccine. Sure it may not happen in every sector I really hope not.I would hope this is just for care work (it shouldn't even be for that, it's disgraceful authoritarianism and signals a very sad day for this country).
That being said, it wouldn't shock me if we end up having some 'COVID-passports' for large events, requiring either proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test to be taken within the previous 48 hours for entry.
In care work? Yes they may find it harder for existing employeesI can see it happening for new starters (need proof of having the vaccine).

Compulsory medical treatment has some very unfortunate precedents, and is specifically prohibited in resolutions by the Council of Europe.It really isn't disgraceful authoritarianism and doesn't signal a very sad day for this country. People in care work are supposed to care for and protect the people they look after. It isn't unreasonable to expect those in such work to not kill people in their charge and before anybody says the people being cared for should be vaccinated and therefore protected it is well known that the older and sicker people are, i.e. people being looked after by care workers, have the worst immune system and so will continue to be reasonably vulnerable. If people don't want the vaccine there are plenty of other jobs to apply for.
Surely you can see the cognitive dissonance of 'no way be compulsory medical treatment' and 'requirement of the job'.Should it happen it will almost certainly be for new starters and therefore would in no way be compulsory medical treatment. It would be a requirement of the job. If you don't want it don't apply.
A fundamental cornerstone of western enlightenment is that a person is sovereign over their own body and medical interventions, and this is a red line.
So western enlightenment says nothing about responsibility to others? If you are a care worker you should care about the people you look after. Needlessly putting their lives at risk isn’t caring. We’re not talking about brickies or mechanics but people who have prolonged close contact with vulnerable people. If you don't care don't go into care work.A fundamental cornerstone of western enlightenment is that a person is sovereign over their own body and medical interventions, and this is a red line.
Responsibility to others as a justification to this is an incredibly slippery slope. The same logic requires that all people only act in ways that optimises for societal benefit to the absence of all other considerations.So western enlightenment says nothing about responsibility to others?

When I reach the point that I can no longer wash, dress and feed myself, I'll be hoping for something like Covid to finish me off. Sounds way more appealing than some of the alternatives.The cold blooded fact is, very few QALY are lost from deaths in care homes.
Care Homes are defacto hospices, median survival is only 14 months.

Vulnerable people that will be offered / given a vaccine? What exactly is the responsibility you are referring to here?So western enlightenment says nothing about responsibility to others?
