HI
Truth you are right
Last year September some restaurant owners did not wear masks when they are taking your order or serving up your dinner
we both have had the vaccines so why have we got to be tested before we go and at the airport and the same coming back
IF the GOVERMENT say the vaccine is not a protection why are we having the vaccines ? The Scientist say it will protect you
And the new vaccine you only need one jab
Is it the goverment trying to get back some mone

Hi Kev
The problem is that nothing about vaccines is 100%
The vaccine cannot stop you getting the virus or stop you from transmitting to others with 100% certainty.
The Fit to Fly test is a requirement of the government of many holiday destinations not the UK
The Return Home test is a requirement of the UK government in an attempt to detect you bringing the virus back to the UK, especially any variant.
Even these two tests are not 100% especially as the incubation period can be up to 14 days. Although from an Amber country there is the 10 day isolation rule as well..
It’s not even known with 100% certainty how long any protection from the vaccines lasts. It seems 6 months is accepted as ok but not certain for 12 months yet. One reason it will be a yearly jab as with the flu one.
There is one test not mentioned often, and that’s the random rapid test taken at your holiday destination/ airport. This could result in at least a 10 day quarantine in a hotel.
You may also have to self-isolate if a fellow passenger on your flight test positive later. The authorities know where you are via the PLF form.
Without the vaccine we would not be able to travel at all, and that is 100% lol
Keep safe
