Petition · past parliament

Make it illegal to exclusively lockdown, segregate or exclude the unvaccinated.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

In an interview with Sky News on or around 22 October 2021, Boris Johnson stated that the double vaccination “…doesn’t protect you against catching the disease and it doesn’t protect you against passing it on”. It is therefore illogical to lockdown or exclude the unvaccinated as seen in Austria etc.
Such measures might amount to an abuse of human rights and would only serve to punish or coerce the unvaccinated; as opposed to being a reasonable ‘public health measure’. Therefore, any action of this nature should be outlawed.
