| Does anyone know under new regulations what effect it will have on Wakefield games? I was going to buy me and my daughter a season ticket this weekend but as were unvaccinated I'm a little reluctant now. I don't remember anything being enforced in Early Summer when restrictions were lifted.

| Have you been on Mars for a year by any chance. Please don’t buy tickets, don’t go, and save risking infection to yourself and others.

Hardly an appropriate answer is it. I went last year without any problems but I'm not sure how the previous restrictions compare to these new ones. As for not buying tickets you can stay in and hide behind the sofa for the rest of your life and rest of us will get on with it best we can.

| Although I am triple jabbed by choice I respect but not fully understand people who aren’t, if only for the sake of protecting loved ones ,my mother is 95 and fit as a butchers dog and would hate to be the one who sends her on her way with a dose of the virus. But I’m also in the camp that we need to get back on with our lives as I firmly believe we will have to learn to live with this virus and it’s variants as I can’t see it going away anytime soon ,and will end up being a yearly vaccine like the flu one for the most vulnerable. Early door yet with this new variant but I’m hopeful rugby and most outdoor sports will go ahead as normal as possible without the need for passports and the like .Boris or whoever is in charge in the coming weeks/months will be caught between a rock and a hard place making future decisions on this sensitive matter .

| Yes, I think it is an appropriate answer. That’s why I made it. You don’t have to agree, you don’t have to get jabbed. You also don’t have to go to hospital for treatment if you don’t want to be jabbed to avoid infection to NHS staff. You don’t have stand in a large crowd and risk infecting people because of your choices as you are more prone to infection than others. Unless of course there is something we don’t know and scientists are keeping from us.

| No problem with anti vax brigade so long as they don't tie up any hospital beds.

| I was going to make a decision on Boxing Day as to whether I was going or not but if you need to show a vaccine passport it’s likely I’ll be giving it a miss. I’ll be triple jabbed by then, I just can’t be bothered with the messing about. Once I know it’s a fluent process then it won’t be a problem, but I don't want to set off early, I’d rather have the time with the family.

What do you know of my medical status and history? Rather than put the worst possible interpretation of my actions you could have just answered the question if you knew the answer. I suppose that wouldn't give you a nice warm feeling of moral superiority.

| I think there is a misconception here.
Vaccines do not stop the spread of Covid and this is typical of the governments woolly information.
You are at no more risk of catching Covid from an unvaccinated person than a triple jabbed person.
What you are at great risk of doing is dying should you contract it.
TBH I cannot think of any sane reason why you wouldn’t get jabbed. However the only person you are endangering is yourself.
I find that bonkers but if you have a death wish then so be it but the fact remains that the only person you are directly harming is yourself.
Indirectly you are destroying the ability of the NHS to treat sick people. That is a morally wrong thing to do in my book but what can we do, it’s a free country.

I agree with everything apart from that last bit.
Any anti-vaxxer/anti-masker, who continues to live their lives as though it's not real, and are placing themselves in situations where they are at increased risk of contracting the virus, are DIRECTLY putting the NHS under a pressure.

I agree but forced vaccination is a huge step. It would be counted productive as well, creating martyrs out of these people.
I don’t know the answer. I’m not even all that convinced that the vaccines have been properly tested but I’m willing to take the risk out of a sense of duty and a near certainty that the alternative would be far far worse.
What I and your can’t do is make others think the same.

I don't recommend forced vaccinations - but anyone choosing not to should own that decision and the consequences.
You have the right to not take a vax and increase risk to yourself, but you don't have the right to increase the risk to me and everyone else.
*I'm sure you realise that's the generic "you".

| In answer to the first question, I think there is a lower limit for the covid passport and we are around the limit. I think it's 7,500 but not sure. Its less than 10k.
For those vaxed up, the passport is pretty simple.
You just download the NHS app and log in with your NHS number. Your passport is just a bar code.
Vaxing is pretty logical to me and I don't understand those that don't unless a doctor has told them they shouldn't.

| Don't begrudge anyone who doesn't want a vaccine, hell I wouldn't have bothered myself but I saw it as a way to get the country back to some normality and I'll be having my booster to to ensure the buggers don't enforce another lockdown on the country.
To me smoking puts pressure on the NHS, drinking puts pressure on the NHS, eating fatty foods puts pressure on the NHS, yet people do that freely.

Why stop there maybe we should do it every winter for the flu. What about over sized people that put a massive strain on the NHS, smokers /drinkers? Once you concede the principle of free at the point of access the big Government controllers will want if for other things as a means of punishment for their poor lifestyle choices. At the end of the day such restrictions protect the NHS. I don't support at anytime the NHS will ever come under any scrutiny A big money eating bureaucratic goliath that can't do wrong,.
Covid has shown just how many people in free countries are actually undercover authoritarians. It has given them an excuse to openly advocate for segregation like policies. Not only that but they get mad if you fight for them to keep their freedoms.
