NOTE:
Freedom is precious for all of us. As for example
freedom of speech is the most important part of
Democracy. We do not live in an ideal world and
there will be some who will abuse the freedom
of speech but because of that we cannot have
restrictions on our speech.
There are such parallels in many walks of life.
One parallel is the freedom not to get vaccinated.
When a person looking after others is not vaccinated
and is a threat to others, the freedom of other
to be protected from deadly vires is violated.
In that case, the freedom of others take priority
and the person should be stoped spreading the virus
and threatening others lives. A good government
will protect people at risk by stopping the person
not vaccinated getting close to the people at risk.
The people can say to the people not getting vaccinated,
"YOUR FREEDOM ENDS WHERE MY NOSE BEGINS"
In a country where people are free
and are enjoying their freedom,
a man on his morning walk was
swinging his walking stick
round and round by holding the handle.
The end of the stick hit a man's nose
who was walking behind him.
The hurt man shouted in pain,
"Mind your stick. It hit my nose"
The careless man replied,
"I am free to do what I like,"
The hurt man punched him
and knocked him down saying,
"Your freedom ends where my nose begins."
I think there is a moral in this story.
Can you see it? I think a few readers will see it.

BREAKING NEWS:9th November 2021.
COVID JAB TO BE COMPULSORY FOR NHS ENGLAND STAFF
Frontline NHS England staff will have to be fully vaccinated against Covid, the government will announce later. With about 110,000 of more than 1.4 million healthcare workers yet to have a first jab, Whitehall sources say a deadline will be set for next spring to give them time to get both doses. The government has already brought in a requirement for care home workers in England to be fully vaccinated from Thursday - and there are warnings of resignations. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not made proposals for compulsory vaccination of NHS workers or care home staff.
Our health editor Hugh Pym says unions are not keen on the idea of mandatory vaccination and will argue that persuasion rather than force is the best route. "The question is whether such a move in England will alienate staff already feeling the strain of growing pressure on the front line," he adds. Health service managers have expressed support for mandatory jabs, although they remain concerned about losing key workers at a time of concerns about staffing gaps. Last month, Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the numbers taking up the vaccine in the social care sector "absolutely surged" after it was made compulsory.
