During a two year period that saw emergency powers granted to governments and unprecedented financial interventions, the introduction of vaccine passports was arguably the most divisive proposal. One side argued that it was, essentially, the only way to prevent the unclean from contaminating the rest of society whilst the counterargument was that they were a step too far in terms of personal liberty. Despite this, governments around the world pressed ahead, ostensibly to facilitate international travel and allow countries to open up.
However, the tantalising opportunity to introduce them into domestic use proved too great and, in the U.K., admission to nightclubs, sports events and pop concerts was only granted to the privileged few who could produce their papers. The project soon stalled, however, as it became apparent that even vaccine passports couldn’t hold back the march of an airborne virus. On October 11th 2021, the Welsh Government brought in compulsory vaccine passports for entry into all nightclubs and other large gatherings. Nevertheless, the infection rate continued to rise, and went higher than in England where vaccine passports were not law at the time. Failing to learn anything from this experiment, the Government brought in compulsory vaccine passports for England as part of Plan B on December 8th.
Under pressure, the U.K. Government had issued a ‘Call for Evidence’ in March 2021. The public were invited to respond to three questions which included:
In your view, what are the key considerations, including opportunities and risks, associated with a potential Covid-status certification scheme?
The Consultation Institute – an organisation promoting high-quality public consultation – criticised the Government on a number of levels, not least for being vague about the feedback process and whether this was simply a paper exercise. What isn’t vague is the public’s response: over 52,000 people responded (a high number for such an appeal), of which most were very much against the introduction. It was a message to the Government so strong that, on September 12th 2021, in a BBC News interview Health Secretary Sajid Javid confirmed that plans for vaccine passports had been scrapped: “We shouldn’t be doing things for the sake of it”, he said. Prior to this, Michael Gove had stated on Sky News as far back as December 2020 that “I certainly am not planning to introduce any vaccine passports and I don’t know anyone else in Government who is.” Yet then the Government introduced them anyway at the end of 2021, before scrapping them in January 2022.
In March 2021 a decision was made by the U.K. Health Secretary to hand over delivery of the Covid Pass programme to NHSX. This is a joint unit which brings together teams from Department of Health, NHS England and NHS Improvement to promote the use of digital technology in care.
In April 2022, an Invitation to Tender (ITT) was issued by NHSX, and a Danish company called Netcompany Ltd won the £18m bid to: “Deliver the NHS Covid Pass App live service including operational management, incident management and support, and app development services.”
In simple terms, all your personal health data will be consolidated in the NHS App which will become the single point of interaction between the user and the Government. It will take data from a wide variety of sources including GP Services, NHS Trusts, Test & Trace etc. and interface with similar projects in at least 70 countries around the world including those in the EU. Although the current emphasis is on Covid, the ability to incorporate many other aspects of an individual’s health profile and link those to a centralised ‘command and control’ system is very much part of the plan.
Through a Freedom of Information request, I obtained a copy of the scope of works for the project (Department for Health & Social Security, Specification for Covid Pass Delivery Partner, Reference: C50516). On page nine is the following operational requirement:
Domestic Pass for use in Voluntary and Mandatory Settings.
The Government may introduce a mandatory Covid Pass to access high risk venues if the data suggests further measures are necessary to protect the NHS. In preparation for this eventuality, we have built the changes to support two levels of domestic passes. The functionality will be toggled off until required. This enables a quick response if/when the Government invokes a mandate. If a citizen is fully vaccinated, medically exempt or has been in a clinical trial, they will be eligible for an ‘all venues’ (mandatory) pass. If a citizen only has natural immunity or negative test results, they will only be eligible for a ‘limited venues’ (voluntary) pass.
The covering letter from Maggie Throup, the MP fronting the programme, states: “Although domestic certification is no longer being used in the U.K., the NHS Covid Pass still requires updating and maintaining for travel purposes.” This is plainly at odds with the operational requirement quoted above, where far more than travel purposes are envisaged.
Despite a public consultation which emphatically rejected the concept and the Government having scrapped the scheme at the start of the year, it is very obviously preparing to introduce it, if needed, at the flick of a switch.

That data comes from the primary diagnosis supplement published by the NHS yesterday for patients in England being treated for covid (by the official definition not mine).
So yes those being treated ‘for covid’ are less than half of all +ve hospital patients as at 25th January and proportion still falling.
Both +ve hospital numbers and treated ‘for covid’ numbers clearly falling

Met seeks limits to Sue Gray No 10 parties report – BBC News
My post of two days ago
‘Mrs Dick is repaying the trust placed in her by ‘investigating’ the Pig Dictator
The Pig Dictator welcomes ‘the clarity’ that the police investigation will bring
If the Gray report is published the plebs will be told that no action can be taken as they must await the result of the police investigation
The Gray report may not be published at all until the police investigation is concluded
How many years will the dragged out police investigation take?’
The regime decided some time ago that a wounded Dick was more advantage to them than an unknown prick
Remember where you heard it first
No that’s what I call a slippery pig
How many went to the parties? Fifty plus?
So that is 50+ investigations, and 50+ reports to the Crown Prosecution Service, and 50+ waits for the CPS to make a decision
Then if anyone is charged that’s 50+ court cases to be finalised (in a the middle of a court logjam) before the report can be published
You will not see the Gray report before the next election
This would be Cressida Dick who clapped for the nurses on Westminster Bridge during the ‘pandemic’ without a face mask, whilst her henchmen went round fining people for… er… not wearing face masks!
And who was apparently in charge when an entirely innocent man was shot dead in cold blood….
Never mind though, it was found to be a clear breach of H and S laws.
It gives me no end of smug satisfaction that Dick’s surname is an absolutely perfect descriptor. I rest my case.
This is what happens to NWO regional managers when they refuse to implement forced injections of experimental toxins and then go on to relax most of the ‘New Normal’ population ‘persuasion’ levers.
In Africa they are simply murdered and replaced with WEF puppets.
In the West they are deposed usually by blackmail from compromising phone or email taps or Epstein-like photo set ups.
Johnsons undoing – partygate.
Yep. A real war is going on. All while the sheeple pat themselves on the back about their superb analysis on Russia/Ukraine that they thought was their own, but actually got inserted into their brains verbatim by the MSM.
I accidentally flicked over to question time last night, just for long enough for some sheep to be telling us how Ukraine produces most of our gas, FFS. “I know it to be true, I just read it today”. This species is doomed.
Sebastian Kurz, chancellor of Austria from 2017 stepped down last summer with barely a mention in the British media. There were suggestions of corruption but little detail.
His replacement [who’s name evades me] was in power for only two weeks before resigning. In those two weeks he introduced medical apartheid [lockdowns solely for the unvaccinated- short lived] and vaccine mandates.
Perhaps Kurz was removed because he was unwilling to introduce these measures.
All very suspicious.
I’m feeling positive for the first time in a long time due to the Canadian Truckers, and the massive support they are garnering everywhere the convoy goes.
People offering support on bridges, flyovers and beside busy roads, at all hours of day and night in up to -30 degree temperatures while trudeau hides like the snivelling coward he is.
Truck Fudeau – is that allowed?
Peace
What bedswerving fopdoodle came up with that infantile “no hurtyfeels words”?
No content from me until I know which words will get me instabanned.
I think it’s just TY covering his ass and pandering to opposition.
That may well be, but it could have been worded better. Right now it reads like it was written by a 10-year old. I’m surprised it doesn’t say ‘Don’t use the F-word or the C-word or I shall tell mummy’.
Same story from Germany a couple days ago – up to 75% of covid-positive hospital admissions are for another medical reason here.
This actually a good thing.
As they have for almost 2 years.
Oh my: what an astounding revelation! Surely this cannot be correct???
A friend’s father went to a hospital exhibiting symptoms of a very bad reaction to a new diabetes drug he had been prescribed without follow up from his GP. They ‘tested’ him and declared he had “Covid” – he was held overnight for “tests” and his son had to fetch him in the morning to get him safely home before they started giving him medication and put him on a “pathway” .
On his escape he was told he would be ‘followed up” by being put on a “Virtual Covid Ward”(?) – indeed they bothered him by phone at home as he recovered from the reaction to the new diabetes drug simply by stopping taking it – all the symptoms of this reaction he had previously displayed at the hospital.
It appears that no-one was interested in his drug reaction – they wanted him as a Covid patient! . He has since completely recovered .

Rates of anxiety and depression have increased dramatically, as well as cases of psychosis as more and more people experience delusional thinking and hallucinations. Similar to the witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries, society is once again losing touch with reality. Where will it all end? Google Doesn’t Want You to Research Mass Formation Psychosis

Having just skimmed the online Telegraph today still no mention of the huge Canadian convoy against vaccine mandates heading toward Ottawa and Trudeau. Can we have an article on this in Sceptics so I can send to friends who don’t believe it’s happening?
This also adds knowledge of the numbers of deaths claimed to be due primarily to covid and as indicated many time by others with other stronger data, but ignored by the MSM that those numbers are very likely to be overstated by at least a third.
Of course they are. How many people get admitted to hospital with a cold?
