On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a mockery of ‘freedom day’ – when all coronavirus restrictions were supposed to be lifted – by announcing that nightclubs would be made to check for vaccine status on the door.
Despite widespread backlash to the idea and the potential for a defeat when it comes to a vote in Parliament, vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi indicated today that the program could be extended further.
Zahawi:We have no plans to introduce vaccine passports. We have vaccinated, as of yesterday
What's their next trick? Pass around scalpels and cut their own noses off?

These vaccine passports have got to be one of the stupidest, most shortsighted, idiotic things I think i've ever seen governments try to pull off in my lifetime, and i've seen governments do some idiotic, shortsighted #.
This #'s just going to end poorly. You can't just unpeople people. If they really start trying to enforce this insanity seriously, people are going to get hurt.
When you start telling people they can't buy food or access their money, you're going to have a lot of pissed off people out there.

If they were told it would protect them from covid, what are your bets that we'd be seeing noseless people walking around everywhere?
business & sporting venues

Health passports are a back door to the Chinese style social credit system……..it starts with health passports and will expand from there……..in my opinion

My immediate thought on this is, if you are going to stop the unvaccinated (I think I did read "and those who test negative"), but ignoring the bit in brackets for a minute for the sake of argument.
The vaccinated given the privilege of going to concerts, theatres, nightclubs etc, will still come across the unvaccinated at the supermarket, schools, park etc?
Can people not see how close to crossing the line this has become?

That's all well and good...but...
business & sporting venues
What's a business venue?
I take that to mean places like banks, insurances centers, 'business' related stuff. The kinds of places you actually occasionally need to go to in order to exist as part of society in most places.
People will just stop going out for the all the BS it causes even a percentage of the vaccinated.
