See these pronouncements from a trying hard government bureaucrat:
(1) Creating a transport bubble for the fully vaccinated

Yesterday, I met with Transportation Secretary Art Tugade to recommend the possible deployment of buses for fully-vaccinated individuals…. Currently, when fully-vaccinated individuals leave their homes, they commute alongside unvaccinated passengers, hence letting their guard down. With the regular buses, both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated are at risk to each other. We do not want a scenario wherein we just simply let the vaccinated individuals interact with those who are unvaccinated given the current threat from the Delta variant.
Again, we will not surpass this lockdown if unvaccinated individuals are given absolute liberty that they had during the pre-pandemic situation. They are the cause of increased transmissions and the best that we can do is to limit their mobility in the pandemic epicenter, which is Metro Manila. If we do not implement this, then there will be no way for us to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and lockdowns will just become a norm in our country.
(2) Metro buses only for the vaxxed? Palace adviser tackles idea with DOTr

Concepcion, who heads food and beverage company RFM Corp., said most of the company’s factory workers had already been vaccinated, allowing it to achieve what he called “micro-herd immunity” in their workplace.
(3) Business leaders want mandatory vaccination for employees

Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Jose Ma. “Joey” Concepcion III said that most companies are able to persuade their employees to avail of the vaccines.
“The private sector has its own ways of persuading their employees. (There is) inconvenience, especially if you pinpoint that there will be less mobility eventually for the unvaccinated,” he said, noting that he has spoken to DoLE about this issue.
“I think it’s required — if you really want to achieve herd immunity… everybody has to be vaccinated,” he added.
(4) Concepcion rallies support for greater mobility for vaccinated

“This proposal to allow the fully vaccinated to enter business establishments I think is a way forward, not only to bring down the level of quarantine we have today, but hopefully will end all lockdowns in the future which, as you all know, has created a very difficult environment for all of us trying to run our respective businesses,” he said.
“Once 50 percent of Metro Manila population has been fully vaccinated, considering limiting the mobility of the unvaccinated can be the safer option to open the economy and protect everyone,” he said.

Wow, great crystal ball you consulted there. If your data is correct, explain this? More vaccination, more Covid transmission and cases, three very industrialized countries?
Now Joey because you are the #1 campaigner lobbyist for discrimination in this country, then you should be the #1 recipient of citizen discrimination too.
People, let us discriminate and BOYCOTT all of Joey Concepcion businesses. I got this meme from a friend, not sure if this is complete.
I know this is not a good situation, respeto na lang, Joey, walang pilitan. Not all people should be given vax due to their existing comorbidities, allergies, age, pregnancy, etc. There are also people who believe more in God-created natural immunity and not man/government/pharma-created artificial immunity.
Wala na lang pilitan, Joey. Your citizen discrimination proposal will create more economic hardships to the unvaxxed. A boycott RFM and your other businesses will also create economic pain to your workers and stockholders. Learn to respect na lang, ok? Learn to shut up too.
IATF, DOH, OP, Congress -- you should never never entertain the idea of vax discrimination among the people. Otherwise you must accept taxpayers discrimination too. Unvaxxed and discriminated citizens should stop paying taxes (personal income, VAT, gasoline and electricity taxes,...) that pay for the salaries, travels, allowances, offices, perks of government people who will discriminate against them.
Thank you.

(1) Attaining fully vaccinated homes, workplaces — key to fully protected Phl
GO NEGOSYO PILIPINAS ANGAT LAHAT! - Joey Concepcion
September 2, 2021 | 12:00am
https://www.philstar.com/business/2021/09/02/2124158/attaining-fully-vaccinated-homes-workplaces-key-fully-protected-phl
"bakuna bubble encourages families and companies to try, at the very least, to achieve micro-herd immunity at their levels. Our homes are where micro-herd immunity should start. For example, my own bubble is my family: my wife, my children, and our kasambahays, as well as our extended family members. That bubble should aim to achieve 100 percent full vaccination...
"the unvaccinated may still be allowed entry to malls and other areas, but not in high-risk establishments where it is inevitable, for instance, to take off our masks, like in restaurants, spa, and gyms."
(2) Concepcion eyes pilot testing of ‘bakuna bubble’

https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2021/09/03/2124530/concepcion-eyes-pilot-testing-bakuna-bubble
Under the proposed bubble, vaccinated individuals would be required to show their vaccine card, while the unvaccinated would have to present a negative antigen or RT-PCR (reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction) test before entering high-risk establishments such as restaurants, salons, coffee shops and gyms….
“The presence of the Delta variant has changed the game, but the key objectives of vaccines – preventing hospitalization, deaths and transmission – remain the same. Those fully vaccinated have a slimmer chance of contracting severe infections and that is for certain,” he added.

"Vaccines to prevent hospitalization, deaths and transmission" -- Joey, what crystal ball did you consult to make that statement? Even WHO Country Director for the PH would say you are not telling the truth.

(1) Having SARS-CoV-2 once confers much greater immunity than a vaccine—but vaccination remains vital
Israelis who had an infection were more protected against the Delta coronavirus variant than those who had an already highly effective COVID-19 vaccine

https://www.science.org/news/2021/08/having-sars-cov-2-once-confers-much-greater-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vital
the newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than never-infected, vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.

Methods:
We conducted a retrospective observational study comparing three groups: (1)SARSCoV-2-naïve individuals who received a two-dose regimen of the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine, (2)previously infected individuals who have not been vaccinated, and (3)previously infected and single dose vaccinated individuals. Three multivariate logistic regression models were applied. In all models we evaluated four outcomes: SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptomatic disease, COVID-19-related hospitalization and death. The follow-up period of June 1 to August 14, 2021, when the Delta variant was dominant in Israel.
Results:
SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold.

(4) Israel: Highest infection rate in the world
Swiss Policy Research, Sept. 2, 2021
https://swprs.org/israel-highest-infection-rate-in-the-world/
Israel is reporting the highest coronavirus infection rate in the world, showing that neither vaccine mandates nor “vaccine passports” are suitable means to limit or end the pandemic.
… covid vaccines are unable to reduce coronavirus infections and transmission, and they lose much of their effectiveness even against severe disease within a few months, a medical fact already known from influenza vaccines.
…double-vaccinated Israeli citizens will again be counted as ‘unvaccinated’ and will require a third dose. It may well be, however, that “booster shots” have in fact increased recent coronavirus infections (“post-vaccination spike”).
(5) Portugal, Sweden slap COVID entry ban on Israelis, including those vaccinated
New bans take effect, ironically, as Israel eases quarantine rules for returning travelers; Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Czech Republic bar unvaccinated Israelis

Though vaccination rates in Israel are among the world’s highest, Portugal and Sweden have their eyes on the elevated case numbers and aren’t making exceptions for Israelis who are vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19. The two countries only accept European Union vaccination certificates.
