The public health rationale for vaccine passports is crumbling, given that fully vaccinated people can get Covid, Sajid Javid and Piers Morgan being recent prominent proof of that.

Vaccine passports look more and more like an opportunistic first step in a strategy to ease us into a society that resembles the Chinese Communist government’s “social credit” scheme.

They track their citizens and monitor their behaviour using artificial intelligence, CCTV, the latest biometric surveillance technology and a network of “information collectors” (better known as busybodies, snitches or clipes), plus what people buy, where they go, who they associate with.

Is this really the way we want the UK to go?

In their desperation to scapegoat others for their own failures, governments in many countries are resorting to a carrot-and-stick approach to vaccinating perfectly healthy refuseniks.

In some US states the carrot is 100 dollars of taxpayers' money; the stick is when President Biden comes out with: "the pandemic is the unvaccinated", which can be interpreted as the unvaccinated being a virus.

Incendiary talk, Sleepy Joe!

We simply don't know the long term side effects of Covid vaccines.

If people start dying like flies five years down the line, the insane drive for mass vaccination of healthy people will turn out to be the British state's biggest own-goal since its unnecessary commitment to Poland pre-World War Two nearly led to its downfall.
