Just to be clear. I do not think you are a dead weight if you are any of the above! Just normal average people.

Re: Vaccination and other issues.

@shawanda
I do understand a lot of what you are saying but you are also mighty judgemental about those who offer an alternative view. There are some interesting points being made both sides and you are making this very personal.
I DID get an AIDS test and a chest x ray in HK and China in the years gone by. Would I now , nope. Because it was discrimination against mainlanders and homosexuals and nothing, I suspect to do with controlling any diseases. I was naive and I since know of four HIV teachers who are non symptomatic, that this would affect. I feel ashamed I did put up with it back then.
I am vaxxed and am from a country that never HAS bought into the zero covid cases theory. It wanted herd immunity. It messed up big style and the vaccine, it seemed, helped bring some normality back. They are still not aiming for perfection and it seems just the old and vulnerable will continue with boosters. Most people I know have had covid mildly. So what.
I do believe the science and I do believe without the vaccine and the majority taking it, the economy would be dead and people would have been dying in the streets. I am not going to quibble with the minority who are concerned or who cannot get vaxxed for health issues. I just cannot hack the outright fake news and conspiracy theories.
So far my country only insists on care home workers to be vaxxed, in a reactionary attempt to cover up their own huge errors at the start of the pandemic.
I suspect in an already tough international market, schools are using the vaccine to weedle people out. Along with single parents, older staff and those with pre-existing medical conditions. If you could be a dead weight in any form, they won't want you. Some schools have always done it and always will.
