Who else thinks this is a great idea? If you have had the jab you can enjoy pubs restaurants and clubs?

Yes, if organisations decide to limit their customers this way and it's minimal cost to the health service

"Yes, if organisations decide to limit their customers this way and it's minimal cost to the health service "

Ideally they won't look to reinvent the wheel and a universal system could be adopted, for any vaccines

I think it's a great idea. It'll help protect people, make it safer to reinvigorate the economy, protect the NHS. Reward pro social choices.

So people want a Covid Passport? Have they forgotten there a many other diseases out there and no one has has demanded passports before. So people are worried the person next to them in the pub or club could have Covid but never worried so much before about catching TB, measles, an STD or HIV

If other diseases do what Covid-19 has done, then I'd likely be in favour of passports for them.

I know I was saved measles by the school vaccine mandate that was in place when I was a child (Australia), as were vulnerable children who could not be vaccinated.

I don't think there's many that 'want' it, I think there's an inevitability that there will be something whereby businesses for their own liabilities will try and ensure they are doing what they can or is advised by their lawyers..

Your latter point about other things std etc is unfounded on the whole..

If there's a genuine medical reason then hopefully the correct issues will be addressed for those people, for anyone just saying ' not having it' then expect a possible repercussion ..

The latter will be so worded by the legal system, albeit there will no doubt be challenge..

Why does everyone think that being vaccinated suddenly means that you can't be a viral load carrier and pass it on or are 100% protected?

The virus has and will mutate, it's probably here for the long term and will just have to be lived with.

It's a pipe dream to think it's a 100% fix, although I do agree that it's a very positive step it's not a fix all and people still need to be responsible.

I imagine - per precedent in other countries - that medical exemption will apply. If you can't have the vaccine for medical reasons, it won't apply to you.

To me I consider "optional establishments and activities may deny you entry if you haven't been vaccinated" to be less discriminatory than "the choices of others may mean that the vulnerable face risk of severe disease through no fault of their own".

Get jabbed, don't get jabbed. Your choice. Choices don't happen in a vacuum or without response.

Those who can't get jabbed - don't have a choice. A lot of them have been imprisoned long enough already. Let's protect their health.

Agreed, there is a bit of shortsightedness in relation to the fact that the vast majority of people develop medical issues which make them more vulnerable..

Can and will happen to a lot of us .

Let's reword this. "I refuse to play my part in limiting the spread of a disease that has brought this country to its knees and has killed or disabled hundreds of thousands of people. I want to spread my germs in places that are totally optional. If the medically vulnerable, who can't be vaccinated, want to avoid the risk of death, they should stay imprisoned in their home forever, because I want to go to the pub."

Im not against vaccines, I personally will have the Covid vaccine, but I am all for people to make their own choice without any form of coersion. I am however against having to show my medical records to enter a pub, resturant or any other similar venue. There would be outrage if venues chose to ask for peoples HIV status

HIV status is not something people choose and is something that has been the subject of significant discrimination.

Refusing a vaccine is not.

Mandatory generally means that the government will apply criminal law against you (in this country, fines or imprisonment).

Vaccine passports are rewarding those making pro social choices and protecting the vulnerable

If you don't make pro social choices, you don't get the reward.

This could lead to a backdoor ID card and now big brother has total control of you.

When Tony Blair warned the ID card even your bank account was to be on it so if you got a fine for say parking ticket it would be automatically taken from your bank.

So we make sure it doesn't happen.

A classic legal axiom (Dicey) says that the UK constitution allows Parliament to murder blue eyed babies, if it so chooses.

As vaccine passports are dystopian, we'd better abolish UK parliament and all laws, because murdering blue eyed babies is monstrous and cannot be allowed.

Herd immunity has not been demonstrated.

Those who've been shielding and would like to step outside their houses at some point in the next few years (I know a couple of people who've not stepped outside in A YEAR).

Those who might be reinfected (it's been demonstrated, and sometimes second infections are fatal - I heard of one case).

Mostly the vulnerable.

Also, reduced viral reproduction means less chance of new variants and new lockdown.

What's being protected? Pretty much everything.

It's remarkable, isn't it.

The same people demanding lockdown end because people can take their chances

Are the same saying they should be allowed everywhere despite potentially shedding 100% of viral load.

And the same who are saying that those shedding (one indication from one vaccine) 33% of viral load are an unacceptable risk.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

As I've stated in another thread I'm dead against it as it serves no useful purpose.

Having said that I doubt many venues will enforce it. When the last lockdown lifted and venues were required to take details not a single one I went into bothered with it.

Goodness. I didn't know compassionate exemptions were a foreign concept.

We allow those in who are a risk through no fault of their own, recognising that they're a tiny fraction of the population. An acceptable risk.

We deny all other risk, because their freedom is worth less than community health.

"

but what is the difference from a person who refused and a person who was medically exempt from standing next to m? and if i have had the jab then so what if one or both of them do stand next to me, i have been innoculated.

if they were introduced today they may have a point but introducing them in a few months time when lockdown is lifted because herd immunity is reached then there seems little or no point at all.

There will be folk who for whatever reason cant/wont have it. If you start putting restrictions like that on its almost bullying them. Plus its almost treating them like lepers if they cant have it. It will mean them being more isolated than ever before

"It all falls into three groups..

Those that have the vaccine

Those that CAN'T have the vaccine

Those that won't have the vaccine.

As long as any "passport" also includes the can't then any issue of discrimination will be easier to argue against.

If we also keep our fingers crossed that the early indications show that the vaccine DOES prevent infection and transmission (and yes I know..the jury is still out on this )..

So.... if, in the future, a venue holds a large crowd of people and requires a vaccine passport for entry.. the jabbed can attend and feel safe that they are protected (as many are quick to point out)...

Can'ts will be able to attend knowing that the risk to their health is dramatically reduced..basically their risk is from others that can't (which theoretically should be a small percentage of the population) and the small risk from those jabbed that may still be infectious (fingers crossed) ..

If the won'ts also attend then that could significsntly highghtens the risk to those that can't..so they could be forced to not attend through fear to their health..

I am sure if this ever happens.. there will also be plenty of venues that will still have an open door policy where everyone has a choice....

Vaccine passport will not discriminate against those that choose not to jab...that is still their choice to make and they needs to balance it with the expectations of the wider society...

but it will provide a level of protection for those that can't have the jab..

Would it not be discrimination if those that can't are forced to lock themselves away from society for ever through no choice of their own ???"

I genuinely think that most of europe and the world will add it as a condition of travel a bit like a visa. All you will need is a number alongside your passport number on an entry form. But i also think the travel companies need to encase the cost of any tests required into your holiday. That way the price of the tests should dramatically decrease

But i do feel it should be compulsory( except for medical reasons) for anyone working in the health /care sector who deal with the elderly and vulnerable.

Some injections in the nhs are compulsory hep C for instance.

Without discriminating or effecting peoples human rights some companies or venues may insist on seeing proof of vacination before entry. And they could use the duty of care excuse for their staff and patrons. Health and safety tends to trump discrimination law. But i am no laywer. Just know in a previous incarnation as a store manager i had a duty of care for my staff and customers and as such could not knowingly put them in danger. In covid case no proof of vacination no entry ????

The benifit and drawback of the passport would be to allow/deny you opion to fly or enter large venues. Concert halls arena and possibly football/rugby stadiums

I have no real opinion on weither they are right or wrong just pointing out what may be allowed to happen.

Quantas has already stated to fly on their planes proof of vacination would be required and that was weeks ago

"please point out the benefit of a passport when herd immunity is reached, which if what the government has mentioned, will be prior to any lockdown being lifted.

"

We won't reach herd immunity (or anywhere near it) by 'not before' 21st June. The target for every adult being offered their first vaccination isn't until July 31st. Then there's 2-3 weeks to build up antibodies, followed by 12 weeks until 2nd vaccination, followed by 2-3 weeks to reach maximum antibidies.

Secondly, even when herd immunity is reached (if ever), any Country requiring proof for admittance makes them worthwile if you want to travel.

Some larger companies may not accept herd imunity as a valid reason. Especially the insurance companies who cover these venues and travel(as they already try to use any excuse to invalidate a claim)

No covid vaccine could become another weapon in their armory to avoid issuing policies or voiding claims

Herd immunity will only be reached if the required percentage of society has either been vaccinated or has antibodies...

The more people that choose not to vaccinated will make this figure more difficult to achieve..so like mentioned above it becomes a catch 22 scenario..

But at some point the government will have to make a tough call to open up even if they don't reach it (not that they ever U turn lol)

The passport may be an option to open up society again with as much safety as possible if that is the situation..

But like many have said..this may not be driven by government but by society/ bussinesss/ etc etc ???

And this is just an opinion and theory.... if it does not answer your question then fine..we beg to differ mate

I have been vocal on these forums against a domestic Covid Cert/PPT but sadly I think it is inevitable and we will have no choice.

Wonder how easy it will be to fake? Govt could create a black market of forgeries!

Hmmm will it be time/date specific and you therefore need it updating every year with your booster?

Basically it is mandating by stealth.

Those with medical exemptions will need something stating that too - “hello world I have a medical condition I could previously keep private”

I'd be fascinated to know how people not being allowed into pubs or restaurants would die solely because of this. They could always reword the sign to say "people who selfishly put the lives of others at risk not wanted here".

I would not go into an establishment that allowed non-vaccinated people in and neither would many of my friends. I'm guessing it will boil down to those places that do and those that don't and how it affects their profits.

call me over cautious but until the vaccine is offered i pretty much stay away from people regardless of pathetic government eat out schemes or them saying it's safe etc.

after the vaccine i couldn't care less what anyone else does wether that's in a pub, a festival, a dentists etc etc. stand as close or as far away as you want. a piece of paper is not going to make me any safer.

nope. on account of the fact that i have already got my ICVP and it's worked for me traveling the globe for at least 4 decades. what's the point of all that expense to change the international document that has worked 100% since i was born.

It's just an option, whether right or wrong in individuals opinions.. A pasdport may allow restrictions to be eased with a mitigated risk...everyone wants to go out again, everyone wants the economy to bounce back..but everyone should also want safety.. so everyone needs to take responsibility????

If the passport was a card without a chip or smart technology, i would be all for it. However if its chipped etc then it could easily turn into a type of id card, if it was linked to a smartphone app like the nhs one as some are suggesting, it becomes a tracker.

Not in favour of Covid PPT but gotta say...

You do realise that you are already able to be tracked easily right? Unless you don’t own a mobile, don’t drive, don’t go on the internet, only pay in cash and somehow manage to avoid all CCTV then you are able to be tracked now!

It's just an option, whether right or wrong in individuals opinions.. A pasdport may allow restrictions to be eased with a mitigated risk...everyone wants to go out again, everyone wants the economy to bounce back..but everyone should also want safety.. so everyone needs to take responsibility????

"If the passport was a card without a chip or smart technology, i would be all for it. However if its chipped etc then it could easily turn into a type of id card, if it was linked to a smartphone app like the nhs one as some are suggesting, it becomes a tracker.

Personally don't see problem with it being an ID card.. have Blood Group details, next of kin details as well.. other countries have an ID card. No reason why we shouldnt"

A medical card, vaccines, allergies, blood type, previous surgery/ major health issues, GP contact, might be useful.

Maybe easy to access "vaccine passport" data (yes, no, incomplete, exempt) and harder to access everything else (like a database for NHS only sort of thing)

There are Tory cronies out there rubbing their hands with glee at the potential to monetise yet more of the Covid Crisis.

No I haven't, read my reply above, not the reply in the posted quote. You also didn't specifically refer to "in a domestic setting", your original post (the one I've answered) it never mentioned 'dimestic setting'.

i specifically mentioned 'domestic setting' in my first post, you must've just missed it and where i subsequently mentioned in other posts. foreign travel is a different matter as it's the host countries rules come into play then.

So am I correct in thinking you're in agreement that a vaccine passport is a good thing as far as International travel is concerned then?

nope. on account of the fact that i have already got my ICVP and it's worked for me traveling the globe for at least 4 decades. what's the point of all that expense to change the international document that has worked 100% since i was born.

Does your ICVP cover COVID vaccination?"

there is no requirement for it to be included on a british issued ICVP as foreign travel is currently illegal according to johnson.

which countries have made vaccination a requirement for entry?

Not in favour of Covid PPT but gotta say...

You do realise that you are already able to be tracked easily right? Unless you don’t own a mobile, don’t drive, don’t go on the internet, only pay in cash and somehow manage to avoid all CCTV then you are able to be tracked now!

Just saying!"

Thats my point. Why add more.

Quite so. Was merely stating that if we go down a more complex ID Card style route then the cost (and potential profit for the provider) will rocket.

The UK Govt were working on ID Cards for 5 years and had only just started issuing them when it got canned by new Govt.

You have had your vax and been wearing your mask.. you have more than earned the right. My beef along with many others on the CEV list is those who blatently flout the rules and think theycare above the law. Has made mine and many other families problems 100 times worse..

I can however see them being needed for travel abroad because we can't do anything about other countries requirements. I can also see why some sectors may require their employees to have had the vaccine, however I don't think it should be be vaccinated or you can't go to the theatre.

I'm sure it could, but then doesn't that make it another form of vaccine passport? Not everyone has an ICVP, so the vaccine passport in order to travel to countries not requiring the level of vaccination proof you have, but requiring COVID vaccination proof would be a useful item.

I'm still shocked as to how many think that a vaccine means immunity and 100% safety, it doesn't. People have flu jabs but still get and die of flu.

It's clearly a positive step and is a huge improvement in lessening the impact of getting the virus and certainly helps in lessening the chances of spreading it and infecting others as there is less of a viral load to shed.

It's not however all sunshine and roses as people seem to think, it's been wrongly presented as that and most just blindly or enthusiastically believe that message.

Yes we have to go back to 'normality' and yes I welcome that but at least (I'd like to think) I'll be going back to it with my eyes wide open whilst acknowledging there is a continuing although lessend risk.

By definition try going into same said pub totally wankered off your trolley..

The right to admit is down to them..

Totally different.... Can't see how everyone thinks this is a good idea.

Even with the vaccine doesn't mean you can't catch the so called virus.

More controlling methods by the government. "

It isn't a government idea, or policy. However if businesses, pubs, clubs a d other countries insist on it for entry, travel etc then it could become inevitable. Personally I have no problem with it either way.

Choices and consequences are around us everywhere. There needs to be genuine medic exemptions built in if it does come about. For the refuseniks then though titty!!

"I am still at a loss at to why so many people on here seem to believe the vaccine is this 'magic bullet' and that as long as you've had the jab you're suddenly immortal and therefore automatically able to enjoy anything of choice completely risk free but anyone who hasn't had the vaccine should be banned from life itself.

Ok I'm paraphrasing a tad but it makes the point.

As many have already succinctly pointed out the vaccine simply does not yield such a protection.

With this crucial information in mind I have to question if those clamouring for an instant rule to be put in place - as this post's author seems to suggesting (I'm happy to be corrected if I've misconstrued their intention) - have actually thought this through fully. As opposed to a "oh well that would suit me so yes I'll go with it" response.

How do you implement your new rule? What about a couple where one partner in vaccinated but the other can't have it? Are they both banned from pubs etc? For how long? Life?

See where the problem lies? And that is just one example.

So sure the idea may seem a good one on paper. I fully understand where you are coming from. But how you implement it in the real world is another issue altogether.

The main reason I bring this point up is that I personally am unable to be vaccinated. But yet I'm healthy, keep quite fit for may age and haven't had a day off sick from work since (touch wodd) 2012 now. Yet under your rules I will seemingly never be able to set foot in a pub, club or restaurant. Ever again. That's how your post reads anyway. "

1. Didn't say it was a magic bullet, said it was risk reduction

2. The model I've envisaged allows exemptions for those who can't be vaccinated, so if you can prove it you'd be welcome

I understand your reasoning domestically, but what about the International travel aspect? Where Countries insist on proof of vaccination in order to be admitted, should I for instance give up on my place I've bought in France and been renovating for the past couple of years, if Europe insist on vaccination proof, but the UK decide not to go down that route?

"I am still at a loss at to why so many people on here seem to believe the vaccine is this 'magic bullet' and that as long as you've had the jab you're suddenly immortal and therefore automatically able to enjoy anything of choice completely risk free but anyone who hasn't had the vaccine should be banned from life itself.

Ok I'm paraphrasing a tad but it makes the point.

As many have already succinctly pointed out the vaccine simply does not yield such a protection.

With this crucial information in mind I have to question if those clamouring for an instant rule to be put in place - as this post's author seems to suggesting (I'm happy to be corrected if I've misconstrued their intention) - have actually thought this through fully. As opposed to a "oh well that would suit me so yes I'll go with it" response.

How do you implement your new rule? What about a couple where one partner in vaccinated but the other can't have it? Are they both banned from pubs etc? For how long? Life?

See where the problem lies? And that is just one example.

So sure the idea may seem a good one on paper. I fully understand where you are coming from. But how you implement it in the real world is another issue altogether.

The main reason I bring this point up is that I personally am unable to be vaccinated. But yet I'm healthy, keep quite fit for may age and haven't had a day off sick from work since (touch wood) 2012 now. Yet under your rules I will seemingly never be able to set foot in a pub, club or restaurant. Ever again.

And I haven't even touched on the subject of people's right to choose whether to be vaccinated as that too is another question altogether. In my case I do not have the luxury of choice so I have to ask these questions as to who should be banned? From what? And for how long?

Gets a bit tricky doesn't it?

I understand your reasoning domestically, but what about the International travel aspect? Where Countries insist on proof of vaccination in order to be admitted, should I for instance give up on my place I've bought in France and been renovating for the past couple of years, if Europe insist on vaccination proof, but the UK decide not to go down that route?

Absolutely! Perfect example. What if I own property abroad yet I have to be vaccinated to go there. But, as I've explained already, I cannot be vaccinated. What do I do? Its my property. I own it. Possibly have paid taxes in that country for many years. Yet under the rules do I get banned? Even if I'm healthy? "

Depends on the country's rules. Most mandates that exist allow medical exemptions.

"

Nope.

Allow those who are vaccinated.

Allow those who can't be vaccinated.

Others: tough shit."

That surely defeats the object of what the rule is trying to achieve. Ok, it may reduce it somewhat. But it still defeats it.

That's the way vaccine mandates work elsewhere. Compassionate exemptions. Those who cannot be vaccinated (generally - here children make that harder) are a tiny fraction of the population and thus pose a tiny risk. Vaccine refusers pose a real risk.

" can people hightlight the usefulness of a vaccine passport in a domestic setting if there is already herd immunity. what exactly do people think is being protected by it's introduction and how?"

The usefulness of the vacine passport will not depend on herd immunity but more on how businesses react to the possibility of dealing with a lack of herd immunity.

Most business owners will admit one of their biggest compulsory expence is insurance, whether it be buildings stock or public liability (as mentioned earlier).

Most large companies will have to reduce their overheads to try and recoupe some of their lost revenue over the last year. And keeping their compulsory expenditures as low as possible will be one of their aims, therefore if herd immunity is acheived or not if they can reduce their costs and possible future claims by insisting people provide proof of a vaccination then this will be the case hence it will be helpfull to business owners but may also provide additional public confidence to cetain sectors

For instance who would visit a bar, hotel or restaurant knowing it had no public health checks and was just left to its own devices and had been closed previously for cases of food poisoning

as aposed to the similar venue that had a 5? public health award and could provide proof where all its products had been sourced and had never had a case of food poisoning.

Unfortunately in the world we live in money talks

Does this answer your question ?

Exactly right. So now we're back to the situation of 'its mandatory except for those exempt". What if the numbers of those exempt are too high for the rule to be effective?

Its a moral (not to mention legal) minefield that will cause yet further issues sadly.

Actually amazed by how many people on here support health passport's if everyone continues to support all this when will it ever end ? Our freedom's and liberty's will slowly disappear and we will have absolutely no privacy in our lives.But i suppose its another weapon in the arsenal for the powers that be to make the changes they want and it just seems to be dividing people which is unfortunate going forward in a time when as a nation we should be coming together. And to think the people who were talking about all this early last year were called crazy fool's.

I found a CDC site on school medical exemptions (school vaccine mandates exist in the US) and the highest bracket on their legend was below 1%. It's an acceptable level of risk, and one worth taking

"Not a good thing, discrimination forcing people to take the vaccine.

Nope. Not discrimination. Not force.

Choices and consequences.

Why should you have to choose taking something you don't want, just so you can go to the pub etc?

By definition try going into same said pub totally wankered off your trolley..

The right to admit is down to them..

Totally different.... Can't see how everyone thinks this is a good idea.

Even with the vaccine doesn't mean you can't catch the so called virus.

More controlling methods by the government. "

Hey, hopefully it will fall into the lower brackets of the others used in US schools and will be ok. But we simply do not know yet. Most people haven't had the 2nd dose yet so its impossible to say.

We'll know at some point down the road though!

Im all for the jab but not for the passport for things like pubs etc. How quickly will the rules be changed when people not with the passports think fuck the pubs and the theatres, and it hits their profits and income. People who are vaccinated are as safe as they can be for having had the vaccs, that is as much as you can expect of people. The unvaccinated are only really putting themselves at risk, or not, or really what is the point of it all. (Please dont explain the point to me I know what the answers will be)

Very true, the people who were warning about covid passports last year were dismissed as conspiracy theory loonies by the same people who are now lapping up all this covid passport crap.

In reply to this. As already mentioned if you own a phone use the internet have a chip and pin bank card drive a newish car, walk around in public, use a sat nav or have a smart speaker. You have no real privacy. Your can only have total privacy if you disown all modern tech and live offgrid ( so i have been told ?). Friends of our are not allowed smart speakers at home due to their jobs as they constantly listen in on your conversations as do your phones sky q and most google tech . Unless you switch then off or disbale some of their features.

But then that isn t fool proof. So a vaccine passport is a drop in the ocean of information already available about you

Terrible idea. It will discourage large swathes of the population from having the vaccine. Unregistered immigrants, BAME, people behind on taxes anyone who avoids interacting with the state. Once we go down this track we can’t go back.

"Why does everyone think that being vaccinated suddenly means that you can't be a viral load carrier and pass it on or are 100% protected?

The virus has and will mutate, it's probably here for the long term and will just have to be lived with.

It's a strawman argument.

If they argue that we think that vaccine passports are unicorns and will fix everything, therefore we're wrong and stupid.

Well it's a stupid argument, but I'm not making it...

"If the passport was a card without a chip or smart technology, i would be all for it. However if its chipped etc then it could easily turn into a type of id card, if it was linked to a smartphone app like the nhs one as some are suggesting, it becomes a tracker.

Not in favour of Covid PPT but gotta say...

You do realise that you are already able to be tracked easily right? Unless you don’t own a mobile, don’t drive, don’t go on the internet, only pay in cash and somehow manage to avoid all CCTV then you are able to be tracked now!

Just saying!"

Indeed. So much is known about us anyway by any and all of the ways you mention previously.

In truth, it's the one's who don't want to be tracked you need to keep an eye on.

They exist in the "shadowlands" which affords them some privacy protection.

However, that also obfuscates law enforcement too.

Although I suspect the biggest criminals of all hide in plain sight, which is also an interesting strategy.
