Do you have any scientific evidence that your current symptoms are caused by the vaccine and not by anything else?

“The obvious simple solution is to get vaccinated, …”

That was the simple solution for me. Not everyone has that option. For some, vaccination can be dangerous.

“I’m so tired of you puppets coming on here and missing the whole point of why people are angry and feel like their rights are being imposed on. This discrimination in Bermuda needs to stop.”

Yes, it does. All discrimination must stop. It doesn’t matter if the discrimination is based on skin colour, place of origin, religion, whether you went to The Berkley, gender, or sexual orientation. The appeal to the Privy Council should be stopped and the Domestic Partnerships Act repealed.

As for discrimination because of vaccination status, that matter is before the Court right now. We will see soon.

Maybe you need to go read more news sources. Hell I have people in Taiwan showing me news articles from all over and for all this info around how is it you think your news consumption is from a “good” source. Just saying the slavaxers are round here seem to get news from one source.

The reason that the government’s policy on quarantining is necessary is that, sadly, some Bermudians can’t be trusted to quarantine at home.

“Premier Burt should drop the paid mandatory quarantine and allow Bermudians to isolate in their own homes,” Opposition Leader Cole Simons said.”

But we all know that many Bermudians will break the quarantine, Cole.

Please stop playing politics and think about what is best for the majority of the population of Bermuda.

It’s only common sense that all those entering our country should be Mandatory quarantining for at least a week ! With or without the Jab/shot. Technically it’s just a booster shot not a vaccine. It hasn’t had 5 years to prove itself!!! And after the week you should be able to go home still in isolation from others if possible with a monitor device. If not you stay in a government sponsored facility!!

There is so much stupidity in this post, it’s difficult to know where to start.

It never gets old. Kind of like unvaccinated children.

Anyone else out there been immunized and weeks to a couple months later been having new health issues on a day to day occurrence? I don’t feel myself. Although I taste and smell things just fine. It has affected my work. I wasn’t like this before getting the two shots. Now I’m taking over the counter stuff for all the symptoms. I am not happy.

The loudest voices are never the intelligent voices. ^^^

Bermuda is the only democracy that doesn’t understand “the opposition.”

Fix your educational system.

Residents in other countries do not quarantine in hotels! Only visitors!
Keep lining up for your boaster every year puppets. because vaccines will never get rid of the common cold!

Really. So, it does not bother you that a vaccinated person can just roam around freely although they themselves can still carry and spread COVID. Add to this the fact that a positive test result for a vaccinated person means that they can quarantine at home. This is clear discrimination based on what? Definitely not science or facts as all of this still new and the data is still being collected. Just because a Government does something does not means its right. If I cant be trusted to quarantine at home under my own accord then what does that say about our other so called freedoms? Open this door, then what? Vaccination is an option, however until the vaccine has finished its emergency use trial and found to be safe over the long term absolutely no one can be forced to take it. If you are older, and have other life comorbidities then yes its in your best interest to get vaccinated! Any future effects are less likely to effect you as your life is coming to an end. However this push to get every single healthy person to take the vaccine at this juncture is immoral, and not even scientifically justified. Show me the data or scientific reasoning that says if everyone gets vaccinated there is nothing to worry about. Will COVID simply vanish? Don’t think so. Will people not die? They will. Will people not get sick? They will. As with the flu and many other viruses. We don’t stop living and removing peoples freedoms for those do we and the world still goes on.

While the rules seem tough, life would be a lot tougher if we relax and let other variants run rampant.
Mr. Dunkley is simply trying to yield to what he thinks will gain him public favor, but what he doesn’t realize is that the loudest voices are not always the majority.

I totally agree with you RastaCutty.The obvious simple solution is to get vaccinated, for yourself and for others. Stop being selfish and think of your family and the country as a whole. The government is taking the right approach, country first, individuals second.

Smh you need to do your research. The problem with the mandatory hotel quarantine is that only unvaccinated people are subject to this BS when vaccinated people can catch, carry and pass the virus. And if you did not know there are many vaccinated people that are carry this delta variant and bringing it into Bermuda. I know if a few, but the government won’t tell you this.

You can say that vaccinated people are less likely to pass the virus, which may or may not be true, but the fact stands that they can. Are you going to get intimate with someone with an STI because they are on medication or because they are wearing protection? NO, because it is still a chance you can get the disease.

I’m so tired of you puppets coming on here and missing the whole point of why people are angry and feel like their rights are being imposed on. This discrimination in Bermuda needs to stop.

In addition, their are many people, unvaccinated who can quarantine at home ALONE. Did it you not think of this when you wrote your senseless statement? Why the hell would they pay $3000+ to stay at a hotel for two weeks when they can be home alone.

If Mr. Burt can, why can’t anyone else?

Disagree. Many countries around the world make you quarantine in hotels and we need to do the same here. One person positive with Delta variant that comes back to Bermuda can spread it like wild fire. So lets say I fly away and come back and quarantine at home with your so called ankle bracelet. My family who did not fly away will be in the same house as me. So they are around me however they are allowed to go to work or go to restaurant and kids can go to school. So this doesn’t work as it can spread through my family. Quarantining at home does not work, you need to be isolated in a hotel away from people, they do it in many countries around the world. Or the other option, you can get vaccinated. Its simple.
