This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Covid travel tests should be axed for unvaccinated too.
We want the government to stop discriminating against individuals who have chosen not to be vaccinated. Being vaccinated is a choice which the individual can make under the Humans right Act 1998, we should not be restricted in traveling or work as both vaccinated and unvaccinated can carry the virus
More details
We want the government to abolish the rules against unvaccinated individuals who chose to travel as we believe this against our free will and we shouldn’t be treated like enemies within our own country. We also want the government to abolish the rules on NHS staff having to be fully vaccinated as again this is a personal choice and any attempt to force the vaccine would be a violation of our bodily autonomy and would breach human rights law and international treaties on medical treatment.
