Corona Virus Treatment

Fair point and fully accepted, but does that not then prove that people will be coerced/forced to take the vaccine? What of those who cannot, for whatever medical reason, have the vaccine - are they to be sacked? What right does an employer have to dictate what medication you must take - it is the individual's body, not the employers.

I fully accept the H&S angle, and it is therefore in a similar vein to occupations where you must not have any alcohol (not even less than the legal driving minimum), must regularly test negative for recreational drugs etc - - but, alcohol and recreational drugs are optional; an individual's health is not, and I would not be comfortable one bit by having a situation where we have employers who can demand what vaccinations or medications are given to their staff.

 

No, it does not, FC. There comes innumerable times in our lives when we have to take decisions that are for the betterment of our economic, personal lives and the lives of others even though we may not like it and we could class it as a "sacrifice" of our rights as an individual..........but, that is Life and has nothing to do with "the individual rights" of a person, it's the real and practical facts of Life and Survival.
Don't mix up having to take what could be Life or Death sensible decisions about the safety and welfare of yourself, your family and others with principal ideas about human rights when contending with a Force of Nature that doesn't recognise such things.
Human Rights are intellectual and man made but time and again Natural Disasters and Pandemics have declared their ability to sweep such notions away without even realising they are there.
There is a thin veneer, as has been pointed by many people, between Civilisation and reverting to the Natural World going on right now where there is a real Law of the Jungle where rights, Human or other, are a unnatural and unrecognised thing and only our technology protects us from that.
The Human Rights of an individual are not even practiced fairly and evenly in any country.
We have all seen on the Media those people who had been resisting obeying even the basic rules of protection against Covid 19 because they claimed it was their Right to resist being coerced/forced" doing so or taking the vaccines and then realising, while lying in the bed of an ICU Ward struggling for breath and Life, that the Virus didn't/doesn't care. We do not have the right to use the shield of Human Rights whenever we want when we don't, individually, recognise the right of others to live and be protected in this area or others such as oppression etc.
