33 Times Vaccinated People Tweeted Their Honest Replies About Unvaccinated People Feeling "Excluded" and Ostracized
"How do you feel when showing your vaccine passport, knowing it excludes other people?"
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a series of costly lockdowns, the idea of vaccine passports is viewed as a potential solution to help us emerge from the pandemic, according to global health decision-makers and gatekeepers. However, this concept has raised some concerns.
Some argue that it is discriminatory and overly strict. One of these individuals is James Waterson from Alberta, Canada.
Waterson recently decided to delve deeper into this topic, so he took to Twitter, writing: "Hello, vaccinated people. I have a sincere question (because I fully support your decision to be vaccinated): how do you feel when you show your vaccine passport, knowing it excludes people?"
With this tweet, James was able to bring Twitter users together for a civil discussion about vaccination passports. We thought it would be a great idea to share the responses to his question with you.
After all, you're likely to have this conversation with someone else as well, as it's an issue that affects everyone. Participants in this discussion on Twitter were nearly unanimous in their opinion that obtaining a vaccination passport does not exclude or discriminate against anyone.
In fact, they believed that individuals who chose not to be vaccinated were choosing to exclude themselves.

Many people around the world have received their dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, but the number is clearly far from reaching herd immunity and finally defeating COVID-19. It is said that getting vaccinated isn't just about protecting yourself; it's also about protecting those around you.
