Ooo, don't get me started!
Too late ...
If there's going to be a condition, why not a negative test? As far as I know, being jabbed does not mean one cannot pass on the virus so there is still residual danger for every attendee. I think this is illogical, prejudicial and unnecessary - discrimination, even?
And as for the apparent ruling that the same won't apply for House of Commons - isn't that an indoor high-density occupied venue? It seems George Orwell was prophetic: "We are all equal, except that some are more equal than others".
The missing piece of the puzzle for me is that there is no official, approved process for permitting/demonstrating legitimate exemption from having the jab, i.e. no way of showing that you haven't been jabbed without being accused of being a crazy anti-vaxxer conspiracy-theorist and killer. Until that is put in place we will be left with polarised hoards each claiming the other is irresponsible.
Seriously, if anyone has any decent advice on how to get high quality medical opinion to help assess whether it's safe for specific individuals to take the jab, please let me know.
To give some context to my concern, both my wife and one of my sons have significant and serious allergy-related concerns to consider before submitting themselves for a jab. (My wife can't even take over-the-counter Ibuprofen without risking severe life-threatening reaction, my son reacts adversely to many foodstuffs.) Even talking to the GP, we cannot get beyond the sales-pitch "most people are fine" - yeah, same with eating peanut butter but that ain't great for everyone, so how do we assess for us specifically? Son is keen to go out again, possibly including clubbing, before he goes completely insane. But it now seems he has to risk killing himself by getting an immature substance injected. Epi-pens at the ready! Good job we don't generally discourage the taking of unfamiliar medicinal substances ... Ah!
[Sorry, I needed to rant
I think this "removal of all legal restrictions" step (not!) is the straw that broke the camel's back for me on tolerance of the government leadership through this issue. As a step it needed to come but they've screwed it up because real-life is still badly distorted. IMHO, they have now completely abdicated their leadership responsibility. They've created a monster and now trying to just walk away from sorting it out.]
