Nadhim Zahawi Confirms Vaccine Passports Will be Introduced at End of the Month

2 min read

Vaccine Minister Nadhim Zahawi – who said the Government had no plans to introduce vaccine passports in January – confirmed on Trevor Philips on Sunday (and Sky News) that plans to introduce a vaccine status certification scheme for entry into large venues would go ahead at the end of the month. This is in spite of the fact that double jabbed people can still become infected and infected others. MailOnline has more.

The Vaccine Minister said the Government is concerned large venues “could end up causing a real spike in infections” because of groups of people mixing in close proximity.

He said the “worst thing” for those venues would be for surging coronavirus case numbers to result in an “open shut, open shut strategy” and the “best way” to ensure they can remain open for the long term “is to check vaccine status”.

He also signalled the requirement would likely be imposed on other venues.

He said at the time: “I don’t want to have to close nightclubs again as they have elsewhere. But it does mean nightclubs need to do the socially responsible thing.

“As we said last week, we do reserve the right to mandate certification at any point if it’s necessary to reduce transmission.

“And I should serve notice now that by the end of September, when all over-18s have had their chance to be double jabbed we’re planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather.”

The Government has faced mounting Tory backbench anger over the vaccine passports plan, with critics arguing the documents are unnecessary and infringe on individual freedoms.

Will this mean that a negative test will not be accepted?
In Greece, you cannot enter a restaurant or sport stadium unless vaccinated, not even a negative PCR test is accepted from next week. In Italy and France , green pass includes a negative test option

Covid Passport Exemptions

There will also be a small number of exemptions for individuals who have a medical reason which means they cannot vaccinate or test. These individuals will need to self-declare their medical exemption directly with you.

Event or venue organisers in England that choose to use the NHS COVID Pass as a condition of entry can decide whether to accept self-declared medical exemptions where an individual cannot vaccinate or test, ensuring they comply with the Equalities Act 2010.

Your customers may declare a medical exemption directly with you. You and your staff should not ask for evidence of the exemption.

If businesses decide to require evidence of Covid-19 status as a condition of entry, they should ensure that they comply with all the relevant legal obligations (for example, the Equalities Act 2010) and guidance that applies.

“medical” reason could be anything. Do not just assume you do not have a sufficient reason. Just state you are exempt – no one can ask you the reason

Exactly. It’s a ‘get out’ clause (for them), with limited publication to avoid the use of it as much as possible. The more public information, the better. Incidentally, if someone asks about someone’s reason, or if they refuse service or whatever, the classic ‘polite’ response could be along the lines of “you can expect a letter from my solicitor”, and take down their details.

I’m not sure that this exemption applies across the whole of the UK. I checked the guidance published in my region (thin to say the least) and the exemption does not appear. I know it applies in England but I am not sure the other 3 regions can claim it – that being the case I can imagine the unholy brouhaha which would arise were I to try to claim it where I live.

If a venue demands a vaxx passport I will be boycotting it. If a shop demands a vaxx passport I will TRY to claim an exemption but could be on shaky ground. If it looks like it is headed that way I will have to get MP to clarify situation and ask why it doesn’t apply here.

Free Speech Threatened by Censorship Extremists

A number of elected government officials are using their positions of power to pressure tech platforms into silencing voices of the opposition, or simply those whose speech they don’t agree with

In less than a year, we’ve gone from massively censoring COVID-19 treatment information, the origin of the virus and COVID-19 vaccine information, to censoring election disputes and conservative news networks, to now calling for the censoring of climate information

Censorship will continue to expand until all bases of human thought are covered. Our speech is the expression of our thoughts. To end free speech is to end the individual, which is the totalitarian end-game

Twelve state attorneys general, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — which recently warned me to stop writing about vitamin D for COVID-19 prevention — and elected officials in Congress who are calling for censorship are all breaking the law

According to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press …”

The question is why change your mind on a clear point of principle. Once you’ve realised that the likes of Boris and Zahawi are told what to do by higher authorites then it is easy to understand how their principles can bend in the wind. It makes you wonder what levers are used to bend and break the principles of the Boris’s and Zahawis’ of this world? Let me throw out a possibility – compromising photos like Prince Andrew perhaps?

If the worst theories are correct, and it’s eugenics, the puzzle continues to be why pharma would decimate its target market. Ideally it wants patients who are chronically ill for >>50 years after developing diabetes at age 20. Dead and healthy people don’t suit.

I see this business model continuing to develop. Recently BBC radio has been puffing new, ‘free’ blood pressure tests and cholesterol tests. I suggest people who believe this rubbish read Dr. Malcolm Kendrick’s website before their GP puts them on yet more drugs.

Thank you Mr Zahawi, so I can now reliably infer that:

The SARS-Cov-2 virus can only be controlled by mass vaccinations and that the deadly threats the virus poses to our health far exceeds the stated adverse reactions of the vaccine. (Yellow Card & VAERS)

Yes, I suppose we now have to agree that vaccination is a life saver and should be administered to all age groups – New born to Care Residents. 

Thank you Mr Zahawi.

You just need to look to France to see where this will go in the UK in a few weeks.
Now in October ‘compulsary vaccination’ is being debated in the French parliament .
With any luck we will be out of the country, planning at the moment to return in December. But if this gets the go-ahead we are are already discussing where we will go to stay out of the country. Its quite possible we will sell our house and never return. Financially bad news, but somethings are just a lot more important than money.

As the govt is composed of venal liars, this is whats next:
“According to the Wall Street Journal [paywalled article]:

Holders of Israel’s vaccine passports must get a third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine within six months of their second dose, or lose the so-called green pass that allows them more freedom.”

It should also be noted that the third booster is not considered the last. The Israeli Ministry of Health “has not ruled out further boosters in the future” and the third shot will only extend the “vaccinated” status for six months, not permanently.
So, essentially, the precedent has been set that your freedoms are the state’s to take away on a whim. And, if you comply, they will simply use your compliance as an excuse to take even greater liberties (pun very much intended).
Israel has been the Petri dish for this since the beginning. If it works there, expect the “booster shot requirement” to be instituted in other countries all over the world fairly quickly.
To all the people who have taken the vaccine, and are now realising they may have done something foolish. Sorry, but we did try to warn you this would happen.”

Sounds like a nice little earner for someone. I wonder who’s behind all this? And will this “every 6 months” be permanent? Even if, as has been suggested, large numbers start to get ill/die within 3 years of doing this because of damage to the heart muscle?

I am sure that the “ministerial incompetence” exists.

However, I am increasingly thinking that something else is in play.

My most charitable explanation is that there is a self perpetuating cycle of fear.

Draconian measures seem popular according to polls.

Indeed, Zahawi was a joint founder of YouGov.

Politicians such as he then see no way of ending the cycle in a way that benefits them personally.

Indeed, to stay popular, they are tempted to suggest ever tougher measures.

It earns sound bites and approval of the MSM.

Similar to a war.

No General ever won promotion or medals by recognising the futility of the loss of life by suggesting that we sue for peace.

This is the same type of warped reality.

I am vaccinated. Twice. Weighed up the pros and cons. From a personal perspective, Covid always felt an overblown risk so was not too worried about protecting myself from it. Falling off my bike is a bigger daily risk that I incur.

Am not even certain either that virus theory is correct. I have read Virus Mania and much of it is very convincing. Sam Bailey’s points resonate a lot. Heresy also has a habit in history of being correct.

However, I felt that vaccines were the only politically acceptable way to get out of this mess so I felt I would participate as part of playing my role to get back to normal. There are risks from the vaccine (we can debate the significance of them) but I decided they were low enough for me so as to discount them.

I now realise that I was conned. The vaccine tyranny will never end unless we say no.

What I am now deeply opposed to is forcing people to take vaccines. Given that one can still be infectious with the vaccine then there is no clear externality to justify such measures. At all. Jay Bhattachrya has made this same… Read more »

The UK has ordered more than 540 million doses of seven of the most promising vaccines, including the four so far approved for use.

Tells you all you need to know about both the effectiveness of these treatments and their plans for constant boosters so your passport is never current and therefore you won’t be travelling comrade.

And of course there is copious evidence of mass outbreaks due the the start of the footy a few weeks ago. And the test match. And wot about Cop 364.2?
If they work, then why wait? The government may be killing thousands by delaying, but since most of the deaths are 80 and 90 year olds, I don’t see it as an issue since they are not likely to be attending matches.

And the justification to “give reassurance”. Have you seen the crowds at the football, cricket, races, festivals? They don’t need “reassuring”, they are having a bloody good time. So, FAIL on medical grounds, FAIL on economic grounds, what else have you got? Time for truth Boris.

They have worked out that the jab is not only virtually useless – it I potentially very dangerous, in that it exaggerates the intensity of the virus if/when a jabbed person contracts it.

This is not a pie-in-the-sky comment – UK summertime stats of ‘cases’, hospitalisations and mortality very clearly show that the majority, especially in over-50s, are JABBED people.

The government has sold the people of Britain a pup……..vaccine passports are a desperate attempt to get. everyone into the same boat, so they can spin a line-to-take to mitigate the political damage.
