Compulsory vaccination

Just seen this from Harmony FM: The regional government of Galicia in north-western Spain has announced that the Covid-19 vaccine will be compulsory for all its 2.7 million inhabitants.Now that it has been approved, Galicia’s government will consider the unjustified refusal of anyone who is called up to have the Covid-19 vaccine a minor offence, resulting in a penalty of €1,000 to €3,000.However, in cases where they may pose a risk or serious harm to the health of the population, it will be considered a serious offence and the penalty will range from €3,000 to €60,000.This could be interpreted as being a situation where someone who has refused to get the vaccine is then found to be infected with Covid-19, but the lack of detail in the official legislation means it is subject to interpretation.Spain’s Health Ministry has so far said that the Covid-19 inoculation shouldn’t be obligatory, but the Spanish government did decide back in December it would keep a record of those who refused it.Galicia is the first region in Spain to make the Covid-19 vaccine obligatory.

Surely this cannot be true. What about people’s freedom of choice, Human rights????

When it comes to a choice between controlling Covid and some personal freedoms I opt for Covid control.

Yes.

I’m impressed! Well done Galicia. Get rid of covid snd get on with life
People owe it to their fellow man to have the vaccination. Remember, even if we are vaccinated we can still get it! I really wish they’d do the same at home and stop all these bad, ridiculous notions about being tagged and given birth control drugs. We must irradiate this virus.

I spoke to a woman, normally clever and sensible who said she don't want it as it's giving you a chip and "They" will be watching your every move. Thought I was hearing things. I said how can a chip be in the fluid but she weren't having any of it.

I don't think 'irradiate' is the word you are looking for.

Hi , it looks like it is a maybe not a definite and that it's for a particular strain of the virus.
