Speaking during a visit to Glasgow, Mr Gove said: "Ultimately, if you can be vaccinated and you refuse to, that is a selfish act.He said he thought "some form of certification" was "the right way to go" to try to curtail Covid spread at "certain venues and certain events".
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the government is considering enforcing the same rule at other venues "where large crowds gather" - but has not specified any so far. "I'm not going to criticise people who have genuine concerns, but I will not stop trying to encourage you to educate yourself about the vaccine and come forward and get vaccinated," she added.
Some private companies including the publisher Bloomsbury, Pimlico Plumbers, and the airline Cathay Pacific, have already said they will require staff to be vaccinated.Some Conservative MPs have criticised Covid certification on civil liberties grounds, and threatened to boycott their party conference in the autumn if proof of vaccination is required of attendees.
Sounds like a policy the Tories would embrace then
So was the lies about Brexit.
Demanding that take a COVID vaccine after I told you, I prefer to maintain my health and wellness by other means, is very Dictatorsh of you. You demand I do it your way without consideration for me, is damn sho'selfish of you. Mr. Know-It-All. Is vaccine turning you to Vampires?
Wrong, by not being vaccinated they put themselves at risk. If they get Covid and die then they can only blame themselves.
It is my life my body I don’t want that crap in there isn’t that my right we are skating on some very thin ice here buddy
So we all better start taking the flu jab annually for the same reasons, right?
For once I totally agree with you!
It’s not often that I agree with this man
Gove has been way too quiet!
Here we go, floodgates now open. Indignation, offence and hurt feelings on the way.
Quite right absolutely
I agree. While we’re talking about selfishness, I also think the leave campaign being led behind the scenes by a man who didn’t know if Brexit was a good idea was also selfish.
Says man who didn’t self isolate for 10 days!
Other selfish behaviour is okay though, but this is a special case because reasons.
100% correct.
Telling everyone to distance and wear masks is selfish when behind closed doors you weren't doing it. Aberdeen casuals selfishly battered you I heard 😠
I still remember that training exercises carried out in London in 92 after the Tokyo underground attacks, so if this Covid was as deadly as everyone making money out of it says where’s the bio suits ?
'Selfish' - sums up Tories, perfectly.
Nice try
Its cruel for government to force or entice any to get vaccine for a disease that most people will not die from. Even more cruel and ridiculous that the same government spend less on Cancer which 1 in 2 of us will get or Heart diseases which is the biggest killer.
Why are Police especially TSG using Military tactics such as Feign Retreat against peaceful protesters ?
Whoever thought that people were anything but selfish? When it comes to Covid, the most selfish are those who are profiting from this pandemic.
Not really. Some people can't get vaccinated because they have existing medical condition that might interact with their health.
Does the vaccine stop you from getting covid or spreading it? No it doesn't so please explain how that is selfish. BBC needs to stop with the propaganda. Try reporting facts for a change.
Make it compulsory/mandatory
It’s also freedom of choice and before anyone starts I’ll be getting it…but still
Eating all the money worms is selfish.
This is not new. He needs to say something that is - new.
Is ignoring the will of a whole country to further your own needs selfish
The youngsters will not be forced into vaccination. What’d you think they’ll do? They’ll get hold of fraudulent passes and still not have vaccine. Or they’ll have their own illegal underground parties and still no vaccine. THINK about it 10DowningStreet JohnsonVariant ToryLies
I’m genuinely shocked at the judgement of those who have different views. I support vaccination but surely, freedom of expression & respect for others are vital in a democratic society? There are many lifestyle choices that could be perceived as selfish, given its subjectivity.
A Tory minister lecturing the public on selfishness
Is that because you are the nominated distraction sacrifice this week? Anyway, Gove’s another one who can jump into the box of frogs with the rest of ‘em. ToriesOut
Almost as selfish as removing everyones right to live, work and study in 28 other countries.
Totally agree with him. Non-vaxers should be taxed more to compensate for the economic loses. Tossers.
Spot on.
kitmalthouse my son is one of the new officers, massively pissed off that he is getting no pay rise. Lesson 1 in how to sabotage recruitment and demotivate your workforce
Hypocrite
It's not often I find myself in agreement with Michael Gove... can't say I like it much!
Turns out that’s the same mentality he used to go to the champions league final…
First Time I Can Agree With MichaelGove :/ We Need To Gets 65% - 85% Eachother Countries Population Has To Be Vaccinated Twice Before January 2022, By Then We'll Know If It Can Be Lived With Like Flu :/
As a Tory, he needs to look in the mirror before casting stones.
Many people have had covid already and have natural immunity. They don’t need a vaccine and having one puts them at more risk than not having one. I won’t take any medicine, vaccine or otherwise purely to please others and nor should anyone else.
Letting in thousands of illegals is selfish too!
“People should listen to the experts” Mike Gove
So is every policy made by your Government but here we are
Probably cos he has shares in the vax company and gets paid by the jab, he’s missing out on revenue 🤣
Yep he’s right. Months back we were begging for a defence, now we have it……..? No jab, no job, no jab, no jig!
They figured it out below-Merv13 filters work, covid or not, who wants viruses/ 🦠 germs blowing out hvacs onto people? New 🌎 No indoor public restrooms, no restaurants and sadly no theaters unless they can prove upgraded systems, common sense:
Couldn’t agree more
Freedom of choice , what a silly man .
Tell gove that depriving FOM from millions is pretty bloody selfish too. But it is so idiotic, everyone knows it will be swept away before long and the bastards will be reviled as nothing this country has ever seen.
Never thought I would agreewith Gove…
Just like all of you lot then
Bit he likes taking a swab test up the nose
The only time I think I've ever agreed with Michael Gove!
