To
prevent critical conditions in contacting the virus the government introduced
the no vaccine, no ride policy. Vaccinated and partially vaccinated workers
wanting to use public transport are urged to have vaccination cards with them.
This was valid after February 25 which made people angry.
Seeing workers cry on streets,
having them lost their duty due to lack of transportation and giving them hard
time transporting from one place to another. When it comes to vaccines it will
always be the person's decision and not the government. There are more ways to
persuade them to take vaccines, stop scaring and urging them to take vaccines
after all it’s a matter of choice.
This policy is just a burden to the
public. According to Governor Chiz Escudero There is no legal law about the no
vaccination, no ride policy. Public Transportation is a need to the public.
When you choose not to be vaccinated you shouldn’t be excluded. Policies should
not cross the line where it will be against human rights.
However, it’s for the safety of all
passengers. Cooperation is needed to achieve the goal of vaccination in the
country. The government still has the duty for a safer environment and it’s up
to us on how to respond to it.
Vaccine jabs are happening and government officials find ways to cope up with the vaccine roll out and
surprisingly came up with the no vaccination, no ride policy. We have the right
to choose, the right to say no and we are not mandated to take vaccines,
instead we should persuade the public to take vaccine and not to use vaccines
as passports or tickets to ride public transportation. What do you think about
this policy?
