"The only people who would not see the plus in this are anti vaxxers" Nope. I've been vaccinated and encourage others to be but I'm not an advocate of passports | |||

"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. | |||

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

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. | |||

"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?" 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. | |||

"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. This is what people could be sleep walking into with this. " 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. | |||

" 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?" 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. | |||

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. | |||

"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 wat 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 ????" this again does not address what i have asked in the slightest. | |||

"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.

"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 "Yes | |||

"You need to show proof of age to buy alcohol/ cigarettes. A licence to drive a car / motorcycle. A passport to travel overseas. We are tracked via mobile phones. CCTV in the streets. Why not a vaccine passport? " what is the benefit to wider society of a covid passport when herd immunity has been achieved prior to the lifting of lockdown? | |||

"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" you still haven't answered the question i asked. forget foreign travel, i specifically asked about a domestic setting. | |||

Why don't pubs and restaurants just put a sign outside their place saying "non vaccinated not wanted here" " 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. | |||

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. " 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!! | |||

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 ? | |||

"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. " “So called virus”  . | |||

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 | |||

"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. | |||
