COVID 19 vaccine and travelling

Gemma

Hello all

I'm new to this site but not new to autism. My child both have ASD (11 &14) both at opposite ends of the scale.

My question is what's everyone's views on the COVID vaccine? My son doesn't let anyone touch him, haircuts, dentist etc are all a complete nightmare. So he would never let anyone near him to have the vaccine (he is also NV). But if airlines are starting to state they won't allow anyone to travel without the injection. Does this mean my children won't be able to ever go abroad again?

Is this fair? Is this against their human rights!?

Xx

  • Quantas have announced we will need proof of vaccination to travel already, so not jumping ahead, just wondered how they can enforce this as my son won't be able to have an injection. He will not sit still or let anyone near him.

    I understand countries need to protect their citizens but isn't this still a choice for individuals to make not forced? Also with other vaccines ie MMR in UK, it is not mandatory. You can refuse this and I know people who have as they're worried about the connection with ASD and what is within the vaccines. Some of my Christian friends will not have any vaccine as they use fetuses (yes you can Google what's in a vaccine, been using it since 1974)

    I don't want to upset anyone, I'm a genuinely confused mum x

    Qantas have not announced that -----  Qantus have not actually implemented what you said. 

    yes they can enforce it,  the same way they enforce their importing rules for plants and livestock in order to  prevent plant & animal diseases. The UK does it !

    MMR is not connected to ASD if it was, 95% of the pop would be autistic.

    The covid-19 vaccine contains no foetus material. It is manufactured in a new way.

    yes MMR uses foetal cell tissue grown in a laboratory.   so what ?  it saves millions of lives world wide and will continue to do so for a very long time.

    your "Christian" friends are quite willing to selfishly put their children and other people, including your children  at risk of death by spreading/carrying diseases.

    Qantas ( partly owned by Virgin, and British airways ) want to introduce that limitation at end of 2021. 

    I support their contribution to saving lives. Don't travel to countries with such rules problem solved

    I'm not here for arguments, it's not what my post was about but, surely it's unfair if children like my children or adults for that matter are unable to have any type of injection due to their sensory and communication difficulties are penalised to travel? 

    I just find it hard to believe a world might actually discriminate them due to their disability.

    we discriminate against people in the UK and Ireland because they are autistic. We provide next to no support for those capable of working. Only 14% of autistics have a job. 51% of CVs mentioning autism are binned by employers in the first round of recruitment.

    I'm sorry but I don't understand your reply. Do what? And where is here?

    Here, in the UK, no one is forced to have any injection or vaccine, only advised.

    Do you mean we discriminate here? I personally don't think the UK does but again your opinion.

    I think you may have missed the point of my original post. How is it right for a government to restrict people exploring the world just because they are UNABLE to have an injection due to a disability.
