Costa: UK anti-vaxxers boycotting coffee chain over its vaccination policy in different country

Another company has fallen foul of the anti-vax community. This time Costa Coffee is under fire.

It comes after a pic reportedly showed a branch in Ireland’s new ‘eat in requirements.’

The rules include “proof of immunity” in the form of the EU’s Digital Covid Certificate, a vaccination card from Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE), or proof “they have recovered from Covid-19”.

Anger

Laurence Fox, leader of the Reclaim Party and former candidate for Mayor of London, tweeted: “Please write lots of tweets to Costa Coffee and let them know how you feel about their discriminative policy of not allowing those that haven’t taken their appointment at the jabattoir to share the privileges of those who have.”

Costa replied to Fox on their Twitter account writing: “Sorry Laurence, We have to abide by the policy set out by http://Gov.ie so will be asking for proof of vaccination or immunity.”

Others have also taken to Twitter to vent their anger at the policy, with one describing it as part of a “fascist takeover of the world”

Lee Hurst, as you would expect, wasn’t happy either.

Reactions

Not everyone was as angry about the coffee shop and there safety rules.
