Could you rephrase that as a sentence?
The examples should be predictable because anyone who has been out and about the last year will have heard them. Probably most people who haven't will also have seen them on TV news vox pops and social media. Those nobbers are not rare!

It would be nice if Branson, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezo, Gates etc got together and paid for everyone in the world to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

Ignoring the fact that Gates already does a ton for charity, why should they? It’s not their job to.
I’m not being difficult, but if that’s the case we should all help as it’s as much my responsibility as theirs.

Similar sh1te was said at the time seatbelts were introduced. I recall my Dad for example, arguing against compulsion because he knew someone thrown from a convertible sports car in crash. That saved him from being crushed if he had been wearing a seat belt.
I used seatbelts every time they were available, before they were compulsory and in my teens spent longer in convertible cars than my Dad had ever done in his life, but having a discussion with him about it was utterly pointless.
A lot of these reasons you list could have been mitigated if the message from those above had been clear and concise. It’s been anything but. Of course joe public can go find out themselves as all that info is in the public domain. I also think some choose to ignore and play the daft laddie.

On my last ferry trip there was 99% compliance with mask wearing. The exception was a group of 3 who came into the lounge wearing masks but immediately took them off. Then came the usual announcement on the public address system that it was the law in Scotland to wear masks on public transport including ferries unless exempt on medical grounds.
This group them fished about in their pockets and a handbag and produced green ribbons with a bit of card on the end which they put round their necks and continued their conversation. They came in wearing masks so did not seem a problem then. Tourists generally seem to have problem with mask wearing as most are English and see no reason to obey Scottish law.
I moved to another seat away from them.

Not good is it, I'm sort of on the fence about that, but I am jabbed.

It's definitely coming given what's happening in NZ, Austria etc.

Full on but infinitely more possible on an island with 250k people vs 65m.
I also think vax passports should be made mandatory for large events where security is in place to control, sports matches, concerts etc. Tougher to put that onus on smaller places like shops, pubs, gyms.
Especially given the number of cockwombles who get abusive towards staff when simply asked to put a mask on ffs

I'm currently having a "discussion" with someone, and their claim is Myocarditis only existed after the vaccine was released...
I have found peer reviewed documents saying risk from cardio issue is higher from the virus then from the vaccine, but as usual I get a nuh uh and the doctors who did the papers are paid shills, the way they can just dismiss accredited doctors and scientists never ceases to amaze me.
