vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi touted the country’s controversial NHS Covid Pass as having an “important role to play in slowing the spread of the virus,” and urged certain businesses and large venues to adopt the domestic health certificate in order to “keep their clients or their customers safe”.
... But it seems the urgent need to methodically document people’s vaccination status, and use this private medical information to grant certain privileges, contains at least one loophole: individuals who have participated in vaccine trials will be viewed as “fully vaccinated” whether they received a placebo or an actual shot, Zahawi said.
I am really grateful to the hon. Member for that excellent question, and I am grateful for her comments about our Friday morning meetings. Her constituents can rest assured that those who are in clinical trials, including the Novavax trial, will have their data on the NHS covid app as being fully vaccinated, whether they are receiving the placebo or the vaccine, across all trials. That is happening. I will take it offline to look at her constituents’ case to make sure that that happens for them, because I am assured that the system already recognises that.
that mandatory vaccination is all about power & control and not about health

You can't exclude the people who have received placebos, because that involves telling them they have received placebos. Surely that is the point of placebos, that people don't know.

Nobody is arguing the placebo premise, but the point is if it's for the health and safety of the people then you just gave them a fake bullet proof jacket and told them they'd be protected. When in reality they are not. That's messed up - if you believe the vaccine saves lives.

Many of these trials are confidential, and maybe even double blind. So keeping the integrity of the trial is important as is protecting the identity of the participants.
The people issuing the passports aren't cleared to see trial information, so they must treat trial participants as ordinary people and issue a passport without discrimination.

It does no such thing, and you are really stretching to reach that non conclusion.

Besides, this is the tories, the party of small government and light regulation. They don't want to control people, it's a bad look with their base. These passports are being forced on them. They didn't even want to lock down, remember.

It’s good in that they are honoring the control group which is necessary for the experiment. Unlike Pfizer who is already corrupting the study design by giving shots to those from the placebo group.
It’s bad in that it shows the farcical nature of the entire scenario

No it’s not the same as a drivers license. I can take other forms of transport.
If I get the jab and get myocarditis well I’m #ed.
There is no going back from getting these shots. Your immune system is trashed for life, which may not be very long. ADE is coming soon. Myocarditis is the canary in The coal mine.

This proves that mandatory vaccination is all about power & control and not about health. Do you really believe that the people in positions of power in the U.K. are any different from the people in power in the U.S. It will be as always... make it happen for the people you deem worthy, or in Zahawi's words... "I will take it offline to look at her constituents’ case to make sure that that happens for them".
It's all in who you know...
People jabbed with PLACEBOS during vaccine trials will have same privileges as those who are ‘fully’ vaxxed, UK minister says
vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi touted the country’s controversial NHS Covid Pass as having an “important role to play in slowing the spread of the virus,” and urged certain businesses and large venues to adopt the domestic health certificate in order to “keep their clients or their customers safe”.
... But it seems the urgent need to methodically document people’s vaccination status, and use this private medical information to grant certain privileges, contains at least one loophole: individuals who have participated in vaccine trials will be viewed as “fully vaccinated” whether they received a placebo or an actual shot, Zahawi said.
Nadhim Zahawi, Minister for Covid Vaccine Deployment, made the statements during a comment / question & answer after his statement to the House of Commons on the pandemic, moving to step 4 on the road map, the NHS covid pass and vaccination as a condition of entry. Here's the link:
