Cannot put life on hold or curtail freedoms because people have the right to choose not to have a medical procedure, it's illiberal and immoral.
Love North Korea much?

It is irrelevant to this discussion on the merit that a vaccinated person, you or I, could catch Covid within days and still pass it on and on to the vulnerable.
Just because you are vaccinated and someone else isn't, why should YOU have your freedoms maintained when you were the one who passed on and carried on the transmission of Covid-19?
Vaccination does not stop transmission and there is no getting around this fact, whatsoever.

No one said it does stop transmission completely however it does reduce it apparently one dose of AstraZeneca reduces between 40-60% (unless the government and scientists are telling porkie pies of course..) combine this with as was said above the reduced level of protection that those who are immunosuppressed or who have vulnerabilities and to me at least you have a compelling reason to get vaccinated.
It’s a balancing act, there’s no right answer in this. So I guess it comes down to are your personal rights greater than those of the whole of society. Personally I don’t think they are but that of course is just imho.
But, if we don’t agree with the way the government are doing it, we get the chance to replace them
