The driving licence analogy is a good example of false equivalence.
It's also an excellent example of the habit of putting the individuals "rights" before collective responsibility.
Those of us fortunate enough to obtain tickets for England's Autumn Internationals at Twickenham have already been advised that evidence of vaccination may be required to secure admission (as well as the "ambitiously" priced tickets!). I don't hear too many complaints, people can be pretty pragmatic when they can see the greater good.
My cousin's wife is a Doctor and recently explained the process of mechanical ventilation to me. Carrying a piece of paper or details on a smartphone seems a remarkably benign alternative - look it up if you don't believe me, it'll make your skin crawl a bit more than having to show a piece of paper - and even if it only saves a few people that awful experience it's worthwhile.
I won't repeat here her views on those who are refusing to be vaccinated as she is a lady and this is a civilised forum!
The driving licence analogy is not an example of "false equivalence" at all - It is a perfectly reasonable alternative way of looking at it, based on a premise that another member - not me - brought into play. The fact is that fundamental rights that previous generations died for, and that our generations have taken for granted since
are being suspended at present, and however well-meaning the reasons for that may be, the decision to do that
should absolutely be open to regular scrutiny.
And your answer is also a good example of someone not fully reading what the previous poster has written. I have made it
very clear that I accept the need for it in the current health context, and I take any inference otherwise as a personal insult.
