Statement:
Covid passports will create a functional Medical Apartheid.
Argument:
For context, I am a pregnant woman. I plan to have a second child as soon as possible after the first.
The Covid vaccine cannot be given to pregnant women due to demonstrated increased risk of miscarriage . It must not be given if you are planning to nurse or within 2 months of becoming pregnant either.
Undoubtedly for myself I will be unable to safely take the vaccine for at least a few years. Am I to be a second class citizen? Unable to attend sporting events, unable to fly, unable to take public transportation or go to the gym and restaurants? What about my grocery store? Is New York or perhaps international travel going to be closed to me?
Wherever the line is drawn, I cannot see how this does not become a form of Medical Apartheid. For me, I must either make the decision to not have another child or I must live as a second class citizen.
And more importantly, for many, it will not be an issue of choice!
For those who are immunocompromised, who have legitimate concerns about long-term effects or side effects of the virus, those who cannot take it for allergies or other medical issues, and simply the free-minded belligerent who are an absolute necessity as control group and 10th man (1) are they also to be second class citizens?
Discuss a amongst yourselves!

- The initial testing did not cover miscarriage or focus on pregnancy in detail. But as testing has gone forward in detail better numbers have come out. In the last week numbers miscarriage's among vaccinated women spiked by 366%. Here is a March article discussing the UK's own government's research into spiking numbers of miscarriages and their recommendations for pregnancy and vaccination: https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/03/21/miscarriages-after-having-covid-vaccine-increases-by-366-percent/
