Tony Blair.

[gulliver1]

Tony Blair calls for vaccine passports to prevent another complete lockdown this winter, and keep the Pandemic at bay. Covid passports would serve two puposes, they would encourage people to have the vaccination, and reduce transmission, so more people could move about with less risk.
Agree..or Disagree ?.

[teacake44]

Reduce transmission is flawed.

[burlyshirley]

Does he think he's still in power or something ??

[DTCwordfan]

I thought that one could already be inoculated against TB.

[gulliver1]

13.55 Boris thought that , until Carrie came on the scene.

[gulliver1]

If people listen to Blair then.........."Things will only get better"........

I am totally for vaccination Passports. I don't care if you can still catch Covid, or still be able to carry the virus after vaccination. Showing you have had the double vac. means you are showing you are taking the epidemic seriously and doing your utmost best to help the whole of the population. I would rather be sat in a Cinema or Theatre with people like that than people who think it's all a conspiracy, or for some reason think they are just too damn special to have it.

The trouble is no one really seems to ever be able to define “vaccine passport”
It’s an emotive term but it’s meaningless on its own. There are certain situations where it makes sense to have a requirement for a vaccination and many where it would be unfair and impractical,
We effectively already have them.
There’ll never be a situation where everyone will need a “vaccine passport” to “live”

[gulliver1]

14'14 Far too many think they are invincible and can not get Covid.

[roopower]

There are people who are unable to have the vaccine for healrh reasons, would they have an exemption vaccine passport?

[AuntPG]

Like I said Gully they are 'Special'.

[gulliver1]

Good Idea, if you are stopped by the police outdoors , produce your passport .
No passport then lock em up.

[gulliver1]

14.27 Roopower,.... After a strict medical examination , maybe !

[gulliver1]

Passport and the wearing of a mask at all times . Desperate rules for a desperate situation ..... you know it makes sense...

[AuntPG]

14.27 I would presume exemption passports would be available. Problem is everyone who doesn't want a vaccine will say they are suffering from Anxiety' every time they think about having one, so will get a medical exemption on those grounds.

[New Judge]

Why has such an idea never been proposed in earlier epidemics?

[fiveleaves]

I haven't heard what I would call a valid case against vaccination, just the deranged rantings of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists.
Truth is the vast majority of us have had several vaccinations in childhood

"Why has such an idea never been proposed in earlier epidemics? "

No internet to drive the swell of opinion causing politicians to be seen to be doing something.

[Peter Pedant]

[ToraToraTora]

ich: "The trouble is no one really seems to ever be able to define “vaccine passport”
It’s an emotive term but it’s meaningless on its own. " - It just means some way of proving vaccination or valid exemption.
