Here’s one way to promote COVID vaccinations – ban people who refuse to take them

[Andy Meek]

• Now that the first successful coronavirus vaccine is almost here, countries and regions of the world like the United Kingdom are beginning to grapple with how to get as many people as possible to take the vaccine.
• Officials in the UK have begun to talk up the possibility that private businesses there, such as restaurants and movie theaters, might refuse service to people who haven't been vaccinated for COVID-19, as a way to encourage the largest number of people possible to get the vaccination.
• This could be done by relying on the same system the UK uses for coronavirus contact-tracing purposes.

The UK minister in charge of the vaccine rollout there, on Monday, hinted at one way this might happen. And it actually involves allowing private businesses -- like restaurants, movie theaters, bars, and the like -- to deny service to people who can't prove they've been vaccinated for COVID-19.
