Vaccination should be made mandatory

AS the Queen so rightly announced, it is time the people who have been making their own rules for the past 12 months stopped thinking about themselves and developed some respect for the rest of us.

How much loss of life have they been responsible for, or put at risk, by spreading the disease due to refusing to wear masks? How many more lives are going to be lost or put at risk because of their refusal to have the vaccine?

Why is the vaccine not mandatory to all who are medically able to have it? We are not talking about influenza here, we are talking about a dangerous pandemic, i.e. a new and deadly disease which has now spread to all corners of our world. The only way to stop this disease is for EVERYBODY to become vaccinated against it.

Would it not be sensible therefore to provide vaccination certificates after the second vaccination to enable people travelling to and from other countries, where the virus may still be rife, to be vetted before departure?

Yes, of course it would, but any government of this country would not dare do that, as it would penalise the people who are irresponsible and selfish and show them up for what they are.

For some odd reason that is seen as unacceptable, even though those people are helping the continuing spread of the disease.

The British have come to be seen as stupid in recent years, Criminals have become a protected species. Penalties no longer match the crimes being committed. Wrongdoers such as the anti-virus brigade are given pathetically weak penalties for breaking the rules even though they are putting others lives at risk.

Why do the majority of responsible and decent people in this country come a poor second in our so called modern Britain?
