It honestly would not surprise me one iota. Prince William using his influence no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're angling for it I would suggest it's more about stopping lots of people travelling more than to make money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Reading this despite not being offered a vaccine yet: Quote Demonstrating your COVID-19 vaccination status when travelling abroad From 17 May, people in England who have had a full vaccine course (2 doses), will be able to demonstrate their COVID-19 vaccination status for outbound international travel. Other countries or territories determine their own border health rules, which may include COVID-19 vaccination status. Check the entry requirements for your destination before travelling. Absolute bullshit. Can anyone point me to where I’m supposed to request a vaccine from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, for example, I want to visit my friend in a well performing European country in July or August, I might be prevented from doing so despite them potentially being added to the green list by that time by virtue of being young enough to have significantly reduced chance of being affected by Covid-19.

Its not just about you being affected or not though. This has never been just about individual risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has never been just about individual risk Obviously. If both countries have deemed it safe for travel, enough of their vulnerable population are protected. In that situation I’m not a risk to anyone (and also by nature of how vaccines work, probably a similar risk as someone whose immune system needed help to fight the virus without a vaccine) Edited May 7, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there’s a reduction in transmission, but my body is far more likely to be able to suppress it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is that as well. If we're bidding FOR The World Cup in 2030 there is no harm in showing we can put on the biggest of matches at the drop of a hat.
