On the matter of getting into Easter Road, if all the folks have the vaccine and all the figures are as accurate as the BBC says then why is there a restriction, as the most that will happen is a "mild symptom" period that will not lead to hospital or death

The most severe thing that can happen is DEATH. Either to yourself or someone you pass the virus onto.
Double vaccinated people are less likely to catch the virus, less likely to spread it and less likely to be hospitalised, but if they catch it there is a possibility they will DIE.
Unvaccinated people are more likely to catch the virus, more likely to spread it, have a higher likelihood of hospitalisation and of DYING.

For some bizarre reason a lot of people readily believe what they read on Facebook from an unknown source don't believe some of the most qualified people on virology on the planet when they appear on national TV.
You said "if all the folks have the vaccine and all the figures are as accurate as the BBC says then why is there a restriction, as the most that will happen is a "mild symptom" period that will not lead to hospital or death"
That doesn't make sense. You are asking if all the folks have the vaccine then why the restriction?

I'm not sure why this is controversial at all. We have a left leaning Govt in Scotland, right wing in the UK, and centrist in France all adopting similar measures. And that's just off the top of my head. That tells me there is a broad, well understood scientific basis for this given its attracted action from politicians across the political spectrum.
Ultimately its the same any discourse about freedoms - your freedom ends at the point it starts to infringe on mine. You can't shout fire in a crowded theatre as it it could lead to a panic, stampede etc and hurt others. This is no different. Why should you be able to enjoy life as normal when you are at greater risk of causing serous hurt or death to others.
The other thing that strikes me is how many people not taking the vaccine say "but I've had covid and been fine etc". That sums it up for me. Great for you, not so great for others.
All the slippery slope stuff falls under the slippery slope fallacy. There is no credible evidence Govts are doing this for any other reason. Just saying "ah but what if" isn't a cohesive argument, and can be used against any change.
I would extend the vaccine passport to any non essential indoor venue including pubs, restaurants and cafes but this is probably a reasonable start. I think more will be needed though as we go into winter.

If we didn't have access to jabs am sure the death toll would have been pretty gruesome and we would probably still be heavily restricted.
I assume most people who get seriously ill or even die after taking the vaccine have underlying issues which might not even have been flagged up beforehand.
Having said all that I don't agree with compulsory vaccination but do accept that if you choose not to get it then there may be consequences.

So when do we expect an announcement? English based hibee here looking to come up at the end of the month for the St Johnstone game but not booking it if I can't get in. Can't justify the price not to see the hibees.

I'd think it should be in place by the St Johnstone game, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Of the million plus side affects that can include headache fatigue and tiredness. There has never been a more closely studied vaccine in history. They took their time but now has full approval in the US for example, its anything but experimental. Its estimated the roll out has already saved more than 100,000 lives in the UK alone so far.
Get vaccinated tell your friends to get vaccinated, if they don't you can tell them how the hibs game went whilst they were at IKEA

The vaccine reduces (without completely preventing) your risk of infection, so you're more likely to be infected by an unvaccinated person sitting next to you. If you are infected by the person next to you, the vaccine means it's unlikely that you'll get seriously ill or die, but it doesn't make it impossible.
A higher rate of infection in the population increases the chance of a dangerous mutation emerging – more people being vaccinated (and therefore having a lower chance of catching and passing on covid) contributes to reducing infection rate.
Medically exempt people are presumably a very small percentage, so their contribution to increasing the risk of spreading infection is small. Of course if the government wanted to reduce the risk of large-scale events as far as possible, they wouldn't allow medical exemptions, but that (rightly) would be deemed socially unacceptable. Likewise, if the government truly wanted to reduce the risk as far as possible, we would hardly have left the house at all since March last year.
All of these measures are a balancing act between reducing risk and allowing normal life to continue. You may think that the wrong balance has been struck, but looking at every measure in binary, all-or-nothing terms doesn't reflect reality.

Also, the reliance on having had covid to give you immunity. Evidence suggests short-term immunity. I've had covid too, I realise I will have had short-term immunity. But I'm getting my second jab today.
Your other option is to lose your immunity, get covid again, then be immune for a while, then repeat until you run out of luck.

You're claim it isn't a vaccine is a lie. How does still being able to catch it mean it isn't a vaccine?
Total fabrication by you about it being experimental.

Sounds like you're another who has been brainwashed into believing Facebook disinformation.

No need to be such a tool about your reply either, I'm already vaccinated and my pals are able enough to think for themselves. You should try it sometime yourself.
Recently, a radically new approach to vaccination has been developed. It involves the direct introduction into appropriate tissues of a plasmid containing the DNA sequence encoding the antigen(s) against which an immune response is sought, and relies on the in situ production of the target antigen. This approach offers a number of potential advantages over traditional approaches, including the stimulation of both B- and T-cell responses, improved vaccine stability, the absence of any infectious agent and the relative ease of large-scale manufacture. As proof of the principle of DNA vaccination, immune responses in animals have been obtained using genes from a variety of infectious agents, including influenza virus, hepatitis B virus, human immunodeficiency virus, rabies virus, lymphocytic chorio-meningitis virus, malarial parasites and mycoplasmas. In some cases, protection from disease in animals has also been obtained. However, the value and advantages of DNA vaccines must be assessed on a case-by-case basis and their applicability will depend on the nature of the agent being immunized against, the nature of the antigen and the type of immune response required for protection.
The field of DNA vaccination is developing rapidly. Vaccines currently being developed use not only DNA, but also include adjuncts that assist DNA to enter cells, target it towards specific cells, or that may act as adjuvants in stimulating or directing the immune response. Ultimately, the distinction between a sophisticated DNA vaccine and a simple viral vector may not be clear. Many aspects of the immune response generated by DNA vaccines are not understood. However, this has not impeded significant progress towards the use of this type of vaccine in humans, and clinical trials have begun.
The first such vaccines licensed for marketing are likely to use plasmid DNA derived from bacterial cells. In future, others may use RNA or may use complexes of nucleic acid molecules and other entities. These guidelines address the production and control of vaccines based on plasmid DNA intended for use in humans. The purpose of these guidelines is to indicate:
appropriate methods for the production and control of plasmid DNA vaccines; and
specific information that should be included in submissions by manufacturers to national control authorities in support of applications for the authorization of clinical trials and marketing.
It is recognized that the development and application of nucleic acid vaccines are evolving rapidly. Thus, their control should be approached in a flexible manner so that it can be modified as experience is gained in production and use. The intention of these guidelines is to provide a scientifically sound basis for the production and control of DNA vaccines intended for use in humans, and to assure their consistent ssafety and efficacy. Individual countries may wish to use these guidelines to develop their own national guidelines for DNA vaccines

I know a few people that won’t get the vaccine They are mostly people who are into alternative lifestyles and simply believe Thier immune system and vitamins herbal medicines will protect them
But a lot are called Light Workers with Spiritual connections Some are clearly ant any vaccine but others just say if it’s proven after the trials the vaccine works they would take it if still needed
None of the people I know have been ill and none of Thier family have been ill
Would be interested to know why so
Many footballers haven’t taken the jab

Please go and Google dictionary definition of a vaccine and then come back and tell me how it is a vaccine.
Its certainly not a case of im alright Jack, I've worn a mask/sanitised throughout. Your reaction is part of what is talked about earlier making out anyone with a different thought process is a nutter.
I have a degree in the subject and have made my choice based on my knowledge, you think I'm wrong fine.
