Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many scientists have researched to find out vaccines to cause lesser cases of virus, and make people healthier to strike off Covid-19. Sure, vaccines are a pretty good solution, but after "We'd Corona" happened, and many people started to be more livelier, going outside, Covid-19 cases have increased immediately. Countries like the UK and Singapore are tired of counting the cases of virus, and Thailand, for instance, prefers to find a way to live and adapt to the pandemic.
Now in order to make people get more and more vaccines, "Vaccine Pass" appeared. Vaccine passes are a system that limits people off that were unvaccinated. Unvaccinated will consider people that didn't get two shots of vaccines. Now medical people like doctors and nurses would need to get multiple shots, and weak grandparents is getting the third vaccines. Now there is a QR system in shops, or restaurants to check your vaccinations, or other things related to Covid-19.
Vaccine passes should be opposed. But not completely. This vaccine pass should be lessened a lot, but saved a little bit for a couple of reasons to present. For the last reason, it would say why it should be lessened, but not abolished completely all.
One, it takes away the rights of people. It is the people's freedom and satisfaction to go to places. It is their own choice. Even though it might be the pandemic, the government can focus more on quarantine rules such as masks, sanitizing, and 2m between each people. Recently, the government have adopted a system that children who are in 6th grade now and older should get vaccinated, or else you cannot afford to go to offline academy classes. Furthermore, you cannot go to hotels and diners. But is this really the right thing to do? Completely taking away people's joy, and their important tool to rest? Some people could say that you could use delivery, or just cook a hearty meal at home. But delivery makes food less fresher, and also people does not have unlimited strength to cook everyday. People could be depressed because they do not have a hotel or a resort to spend a night in their tourist destination. This is simply taking away the rights of people, so the government should find another way that doesn't block people who are unvaccinated, but it is still sufficient to fight off the Covid-19 virus.
Two, there are people who "cannot" take the vaccines. People who are weak in some body systems, and take vaccines like Pfizer or AstraZeneca can come to be very sick, and this could just last for their lives. This vaccine pass system violates and doesn't respect these feeble people, so it can tell us that it is very unequal. Similar to that, poor people cannot afford medical systems as much as other people, and are weaker because they starve often and work hard labors. But when they become sick after taking the vaccine shot, they cannot talk to doctors, or take surgeries because of the money bills that they need to afford that. This vaccine pass makes more people to take the shots, but can negatively affect these vulnerable. When the government needs to care for the poor citizens, they are actually causing the opposite. Can we say that the government is really an effective, great leader when they are adopting this system?
Third, vaccines are not completely correct and efficient. It doesn't mean that all vaccines are poor, bad, and worse. But Covid-19 vaccines are not prepared to make it mandatory. There are many people who suffer severe pains after taking shots, and some people die after taking the vaccines. The second one can merely clarify that this vaccine for Covid-19 can switch to poison chemicals. If the government wants to make it mandatory, they should collect safer vaccines, so fatalities won't happen in the first place. Ensuring this can allow people, so the citizens would take more shots. So this way can actually make the government's wish come true, and make people believe that vaccines are sufficient. Just creating the vaccine pass when vaccines are not ready yet is inadequate.
Now here is the reason why the vaccine pass should be lessened quite a lot, but not abolished completely. Places such as restaurants, hotels shouldn't be banned from people who are unvaccinated. People have the rights to go there and enjoy their times. It is the freedom to eat good foods, and enjoy living a bit in resorts. Academies, for instance, shouldn't be banned completely. Students need academies to study and learn better. But in the severe pandemic, academies can find ways to switch into online, because health and safety is mostly first. But, for instance, places like smoking lots or clubs shouldn't be allowed to unvaccinated people. Why? To smoke, you need to get off your masks, and dancing is not really a necessity like eating or shopping. Vaccine passes should happen still in some places, but not in important places where people can eat, shop, learn, and spend their lovely times.
Vaccine passes are meant to lessen Covid-19. But it does not. Covid-19 in Korea are increasing very quickly, even when vaccine passes are happening. Actually, in order to respect other people's rights, we should lessen the vaccine pass system. We should rather increase the system when vaccines are safer, so the government should fund scientists to create better vaccines for our citizens. Strongly do hope that vaccine passes are going to lessen hugely, so we can focus on regulations that are way even more necessary.
