As usual you are wrong, I am very much a libertarian but individual rights are not omnipotent and in extreme circumstances must be restricted for the common good. If selfish people refuse to vaccinate then stay home instead of infecting innocent people. I have a right not to be infected by selfish COVID denyers like you.
Now is the time to require all unvaccinated civil servants to be tested weekly at their own expense. Slowly tighten the screws until we get to desired vaccination level.
No one hates taxes and big government more than me but the reality is that we are under taxed in the Bahamas. We collect around 20% of GDP in taxes, lower than most of our Caribbean counterparts and certainly lower than most developed nations. Problem is that we want first world services (welfare and benefits) but only pay third world taxes. Yes taxes need to be increased but only in a progressive way on the wealthiest in our society. Easiest way is to drastically increase and finally enforce property taxes on very high end real estate. We also should immediately introduce a low corporate tax that is based on profits and not revenue, with highest tax levels on our most profitable companies. Finally, we need to make serious decisions regarding heavily subsidized government corporations. Bahamasair and ZNS along with other entities need to be privatized to reduce the constant drain on taxpayers.
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.

I expect they will cut the unvaccinated first. Bahamas get vaccinated, it is the only way out of this crisis.
