The Philippine government has banned unvaccinated people using public transport in the capital Manila

This afternoon.

Via Channel News Asia:

The rule, announced by the Department of Transportation this week and expected to take effect on Monday, comes after President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to arrest people not vaccinated against COVID-19 who refused to stay at home.

Passengers will have to show proof of vaccination before boarding public buses, jeepneys, trains, boats or planes in Metro Manila where infections are soaring, causing widespread disruption for businesses and straining hospitals.

Exceptions will be made for unvaccinated people who have official permission to travel to buy food, seek medical treatment or get jabbed.

    “where infections are soaring, causing widespread disruption for businesses and straining hospitals.”

    Well I sure hope Duterte isnt looking to get the infection rates down by mass vaccinating, because take it from the irish, it does not work

    “Exceptions will be made for unvaccinated people who have official permission to travel to buy food, seek medical treatment or get jabbed.” One needs permission to travel to get food or seek medical treatment? But remember, this is all about protecting public health against a “deadly virus” that is now little more than a cold and with a tiny fatality rate. Of course this approach will find favour with the brainwashed Covidian nutcases.
