Amen. Tighten the vise on all these selfish Bahamians that want to avoid taking the vaccine. Soon it will be impossible to function in society without being vaccinated. Hope they enjoy the couch.

Perhaps we should even designate an uninhabited island in the Ragged Island area (maybe one of those with the hurricane proof caves?) and by a certain date (July 9th?) ship all the unvaccinated sub-human dogs there - where they can live amongst their own kind and receive their daily beatings? That date will also ensure they cannot participate in Independence Day celebrations - which would certainly make no sense for those deliberately trying to imprison themselves.

Excellent idea! Please forward to the competent authority so it can be implemented as as soon as possible.

Yeah and they shouldn't be allowed to buy food or water either! Food stores and water depots are well known infection sites

No, they will have their own food and water depot on the island and their own quack doctors who believe in bleach and HCQ. Maybe even a few palm readings to predict their bleak and dark futures?

I agree! let them starve for all we care! and put a fence around that island so they cant escape too!

imagine being this much of a boot licker lmao.

The reason the Food and Drug Administration has only approved the vaccines for emergency use is because the long term effects of the vaccines are not known. NONE have been around for at least a year. So by allowing them to be administered only under emergency orders removes liability from both the government and the manufacturers of the vaccines. Meaning that if something seriously was to develop from the vaccines, the liability of the government and the manufacturers will be limited. The fact is the vaccine is no silver bullet and ALL the safety protocols must be followed to ensure safety of workers and guests. A person who has been exposed to the Covid-19 virus developed immunity to it and the new strains that may develop. At least over a period of time. The experts are not certain how long the vaccines will remain effective and now say a booster shot may be necessary some six months after a person has been fully vaccinated to protect against new strains.

And why would the WHO, the FDA, etc approve of any vaccines on emergency basis?
They've been proven to save lives, and in the rare cases of those contracting Covid after being immunized, no one has died.
The longer folks refuse to face facts and continue this community spread the more likely mutant variants develop.

Mr. Scott, I am a frequent customer and while I applaud your wish to keep your guests safe, I'd suggest taking the requirement one step further and require ALL of your GUESTS to show proof of a vaccine or negative testing prior to dining.

What's good for the goose...

Let's make this an equal opportunity process than just a one-sided bottom line option. Same requirements for everyone.

The more people vaccinated, the sooner we can get back to "normal". C'mon, let's not be selfish!

Good point. His non-vaccinated customers could still leave with their COVID dessert, served up by other COVID carrying customers.

I hope he likes operating at a loss. Taking an experimental vaccine just to eat parasite filled sushi, not worth it.

Decent and right minded Bahamians now only have to sit back and let these clowns do all of the talking. lol

this is how it starts eh? I wonder if you'll have to wear a yellow star on your jacket if youre not vaccinated. Or be sent to a sensitivity training "camp". Where they can separate the superior citizens from the inferior ones...

These foolish comparisons to '1942' or the heinous practice of isolating and dehumanizing the Jewish people by the Nazis is out of line, though it seems clear who is lacking critical thinking skills here.

Don't all employees suffer is their place of business is closed due to an outbreak?
What about the tourists being warned not to travel to the Bahamas because people are not following basic health guidelines, and the gov't is typically slow and inept especially in times of crisis?
Why can't folks understand that this is not the scenerio for prosperity?

I agree. No relation to 1942. After all, what could be wrong with taking a shower, especially after a long train ride? The economic downturn has been a long ride, yes? What fool would refuse a shower? Smelling bad and spreading germs, those ignorant devils.

I'm sure someone in 1942 said the same. no need for "us" to worry

Arthitmatic in so as not leave out of the PopoulacesLegalsised, the **undocumented 81,111 Asian. Tagalog, Spanish, and Creole-speaking being, denied easy access to vaccines, then can absolutely rule out reaching **community immunity** within this or any other century..., translation - no hope in hell be returning back anywhere close to what some has perceived as the envied, viable, most admired economy of the Caribbean, yes?

I have confirmed that Medical insurers will not cover illnesses cause by the vaccine BECAUSE it was declared safe for emergency use only.
Blood clots, Gran Mal seizures.....Loss of income, Is Mr Scott going to cover those bills and pay his staff while they recover?
Will NIB pay out sick leave if one is sick from an adverse reaction?
If the shots were for a proven long standing Vaccine such as MMR, Yellow fever, Malaria, it would be understandable, and those vaccines are routine, proven.
but no blind studies have been done.Aside the great global experimental one now being pushed and pushed hard. This has been rushed "to market" and yes, this is an economic market newly created. Major money is being made.
Driven by Governments Coercing their people to be a part of the grand experiment.
At the end of the day, remember it is the political driving this buss, making the promises, now offering the enticements, just as they do at election time. They never deliver or so much as apologize either.
I personally want time to make my personal decision as to wether I will take the vaccine or not.

As your employer I might not have the right to mandate your being vaccinated, but I can sure as God made little apples demand that you and anyone else wishing to enter my establishment provide me with a negative Covid test result less than five days old in order to enter.
Obviously for the staff those weekly tests would be at their own expense, no brainer really, weekly testing at your own expense or free vaccine twice.

No problem. Just make sure you're complying with the law and also that you're demanding the same testing from all the patrons of your establishment lest you find yourself on the wrong side of a serious discrimination law suit. lol

Hence my words “you or anyone else” no discrimination there.

300,000 Covid cases in 24 hours in India.
They don’t do vaccines or wear masks there either.

Most Bahamians may not know that both Scott QC and Smith QC are partners in the same law firm, namely Callenders & Co. You wouldn't think these two could work in the same law firm given that Scott treats his restaurant's Bahamian employees like they are his personal property, to do with as he sees fit, whereas Smith treats the lawbreaking Haitians he purports to represent as if they should have more rights and freedoms than Bahamians do. How odd.

It’s not so much that employers like Scott treat their employees as personal property.
Far too many Bahamians are all too happy to sit down with you and agree to terms of employment, then after one month on the job said terms are conveniently forgotten, “I een doing dat, you mussy t’ink I’se a slave ay? Dat ain my job bey! You want me do dat I need more money.” I going to da Labor Board!
Such are the facts of life in the average day of the Bahamian employer.

Employers known for mistreating their employees inevitably end up having to hire the worst that our available work force has to offer. And it's amazing that certain business owners prefer to pay the dear price associated with all the things you mention rather than mend their ways and treat their staff fairly.

To the maximum extent possible, everyone deserves to be treated with common human decency and employees are certainly entitled to earn a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. The better and more successful business owners know this golden rule only too well. It usually allows them to attract the best our work force has to offer.

P.S. "Everyone"....except of course our corrupt politicians and those who willingly aid and abet their wrongful, and ofttimes illegal, acts and deeds. lol
