Good morning all,

Per ...

Article is Brit environment but similiar discussions here on this side of pond.

Found this art while looking for something on herd mentality. What's going on ...... if we can't get George Orwell back, we're all destined to be doomsday Preppers.

"The UK government is considering a plan to despatch council staff to knock on the doors of those who have refused to take a coronavirus vaccine, in an effort to coerce refusniks into taking the shot, according to a report.

"The London Metro reports that Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi told MPs he wanted to identify ‘at an individual level’ those who have been offered the vaccine but turned it down.

"The report states that the plan is being hatched amid fears that a sizeable amount of the population are ‘sceptical’ of the vaccine.

"Zahawi said that the role of the council staffers would be to determine why people are refusing the vaccine and then “see what might convince them” to change their minds.

"Zahawi refused to confirm how the Government will know who has not taken the vaccine, but did admit during a radio appearance on the BBC that everyone who has taken the shot has been registered in a national immunisation vaccination system.

“We absolutely will look at how we are addressing the issue of refusal rates,” Zahawi said.

"While Zahawi touted a high uptake of vaccines among British people, it emerged that around 20% of social care workers have refused to take the vaccine.

"In December, a poll found that around a third of people in the UK do not want to take the vaccine.

"The notion of government staff knocking at the doors of refusniks has prompted fears that the British government is keeping a database of vaccine skeptics.

"A similar scheme has been implemented in Spain.

"With so called ‘vaccination passports’ looming, a non-vaccinated database could enable the government to cross check who they are issuing the ‘freedom passes’ to, and ensure that only the vaccinated are allowed to integrate back into society."

If the Brits have a national immunization vaccination program with a registeration aspect to it, then those listed have the acquired vaccination. Those not listed did not get the vaccination. There are exception aspects. The US is starting this program also. I do not at all discuss quality control; just the program.

Much of this is somewhat routine using modern information technology for biometrics which includes vaccinations.

Of course the vaccinated participants can participate in society like visiting public stores, stopping at highway rest areas, traveling on an aeronautical aluminum tube equivalent to a petri dish of germs,......

Here in the upstart colonies there is a small national group holding off on getting the shot/jab until nicer driving weather arrives. On balance, it is safer for a senior citizen not to drive on wet or icey roads and stay home than to play bumper cars with the oncoming car whose driver is point five alcohol and point fifty five phenobarbatol.
