The NHS has repeated been shown to actually have lower administration costs than the health systems in most other countries. America's health system has the highest, and that is the system our government seem to want to implement.

Let me know.
This is what I don't understand. The Anti maskers/Anti vacinne passport people have continually conflated their plight with that of those who are excluded from places because of things like race. It's not a valid comparison for the simple reason that in most cases, it's your choice not to be vaccinated. No one in this country has said you are required to be vaccinated. It is not law.

If someone is excluded because they are (or aren't) a certain color, race, gender, sexuality etc, that is bad because they aren't things you can change. Gender is a little more complicated, but the principle is the same.

There are people who are unable to have the vaccine for medical reasons, but they can still carry something saying they are exempt.

But for most people, the vaccine is a choice, and like every choice, there are consequences. Saying they are the victims of prejudice just because they aren't allowed to go for (say) a Pizza is like saying a smoker is the victim of prejudice because they aren't allowed in by the same Pizza restaurant..

You can print them from a web browser. You clearly have internet access, as you are posting here. For those who don't, most Libraries offer internet terminals. Of course, they've been closing at a rate of knots, and I would argue are certainly something the government should be financing, especially as they move all their own services to the web, but that is off topic.
