Both in the UK and abroad heads of governments ask the public to get vaccinated, to wear masks in public places and otherwise actresponsibly as the Covid-19 pandemic is not over. Not everyone is ready to comply with this appeal from the government.Many governments therefore have issued a warning that they may re-introduce compulsory face masks on public transport and in other crowded places as well as introduce Covid vaccination passports. This will be the last resort measure to avoid another lockdown and/or ease up travel restrictions.
Discuss the concept of market failure in application to this scenario before answering the question:
Why might different groups of people take opposing views on the desirability of the “vaccine passport”?
