I am uncomfortable with the idea of Vaccine Passports. It sets a precedent. When governments invoke ’emergency’ powers they seldom give them up, and often use them for other things beyond the ’emergency’.

On the other hand what is the alternative. If shows are saying that masks (not sure why), social distancing and improved ventilation are not possible then proof of vaccination is pretty much the only tool left to try and control the spread of a highly infectious respiratory virus.

I am not sure it is workable, but that is another matter. It assumes that everyone has a smart phone, is willing to download the NHS App (not the covid pingdemic app), and we have faith that this is secure. I am not sure I really want my NHS data on my smart phone.

The problem, like much else right now, is that there is no real debate as the positions are at polar opposites now. You are either a ‘sheep’ who accepts government control, or you are a tinfoil hat wearing denier. The constant flip-flopping policy by the government is just throwing fuel on the fire.

I will keep away from crowded spaces and hope this all works out somehow.
