We haven’t seen the end of plans for the introduction of Covid vaccine passports, according to the Times. Its splash today says that “Covid certificates” will be needed to enter bars, restaurants and nightclubs under plans to combat a “fourth wave”, though the actual reason – as before, and as in Israel – is to push young people to take the vaccine, following a fall in take-up in this age group.
Entertainment venues in England would be forced to make customers use so-called vaccination passports from autumn, to prove that they had either had both doses or a negative test the day before. Recent figures have shown a reduction in the take-up of vaccines with first doses halving in two weeks. Fewer than 100,000 a day are being given out on average for the first time since April.
Unvaccinated young people are believed to be behind a rise in cases. One in 160 people in England were thought to have the coronavirus after a 58% rise over seven days, according to the Office for National Statistics. It estimates that 332,900 people had the virus in the week ending July 3rd, similar to levels in mid-October, with cases more than ten times higher in those aged 16-24 than the over-70s. …
Government sources said it had been decided not to force Covid certificates to be used as part of the easing of restrictions this month because it would discriminate against younger people who had not had their second jab.
There were also concerns it could have hit the so-called “spontaneous economy” with people being turned away from businesses because they could not prove a negative test result.
However, by mid-September ministers say all over-18s will have had the chance to have both jabs and officials believe that vaccination passports could be mandated for use in premises where social distancing is not possible.
“In autumn vaccine passports could become an important tool that will allow us to keep things open,” a Downing Street source said.
Another Government figure added: “If we can show real benefits of getting vaccinated in terms of everyday life then it could be quite a useful tool.”
While more than 95% of the over-50s have been vaccinated, the rate is 76% in those aged 30-34 and is now plateauing. So far 58% of those aged 18 to 24 have had a first jab.
Helen Stokes-Lampard, Head of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, said that dropping the requirement to quarantine for the fully vaccinated could also be a “very helpful incentive” for young people but urged the Government to “redouble efforts” to ensure they accepted the jab. But in a blunt warning she said that it was “unhelpful and potentially dangerous” to think of life returning to normal this month and people should continue to be cautious about socialising.
“July 19th should not be regarded as Freedom Day,” Stokes-Lampard said. “From a medical perspective, it shocks me to think that all restrictions would suddenly be dropped. We are in the middle of a dangerous third wave.”
She said that continuing to wear masks indoors was an “obvious one” in terms of tackling the spread.
Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer for England, is also understood to be concerned that people will give up infection prevention measures once restrictions are lifted.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Two big obvious problems I can see: –
1) the government are unlikely to be competent to run such a scheme
2) No-one will EVER be “fully vaccinated”, just fully vaccinated FOR NOW.
Two jabs = “fully vaccinated” until the Booster. Then three jabs = “fully vaccinated” until the next booster. Rinse and repeat . . .
Tell the criminal government and their equally responsible scientific advisors what they can do with vaccine passports and where they can stick the vaccine – not in their arm.
These people are an absolute disgrace with their assault on democracy and the freedoms that people in Britain have enjoyed for centuries.
Does this mean that we’ll see unlicened drinking dens for the unvaccinated, like speakeasys in the US during Prohibition?
At this rate this will the only way I’ll get a pint in the future! Sad.
I am afraid discrimination of any kind is illegal. To discriminate against those who have declined the vaccine will then, be illegal. But I guess they will try it out anyway. An incompetent government that just keeps pushing an illogical agenda. Why?
Helen Stokes-Lampard says that continuing to wear masks indoors was an “obvious one” in terms of tackling the spread.
Errmm, obvious? Why would wearing some rag be controlling the spread?
Just another mask assumptionist talking nonsense.
You think the Backbenchers would now seriously be leading the charge to get rid of Johnson and to start legal proceedings against these lying advisors. What the heck is going on here? Its like they are telling us all our freedom, life as we know it must end, and we must all be forced to take an experimental drug to stop the manic zombie chickens from attacking us. None of us can see the zombie Chickens, no one we know has seen one or been attacked by one, yet the newspapers, BBC and the Government are full of facts and figures regarding deaths caused by zombie chickens, and so we behave as if the zombie chickens are really a threat. Whats the difference here? We all see the figures, we know hospitalisations and deaths for Covid are negligible, but the Government has a special Zombie chicken detector which we all have to use, and that can tell when a zombie chicken is in the vicinity, so we hide in doors because the Governments machine has detected movement. AND THEPUBLIC ARE GOING ALONG WITH THIS.WHY WON’T PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY SEE RATHER THAN WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO SEE
Unfortunately, the wider public are completely brainwashed after 16 months of relentless propaganda and see zombie chickens everywhere, possibly roosting in their back gardens or in their cars. Even intelligent, normally rational people are caught up in this madness. If only there were some voices arguing against the mainstream but what voices there are are too soon drowned out by the pro-Lockdown, pro-vaccine crowd. Personally, I don’t talk about either of these things with friends of mine who are of the opposite way of thinking. If they come out with a direct question about why I have chosen not to get vaccinated, I have plenty of answers. We all sort of know that this is not about public health anyway much as I don’t wish to raise the spectre of ‘conspiracy’. The NHS’ own figures show its not the public health catastrophe it is deemed to be by the media and the government. It’s those pesky modellers and their hold over the government with their doom-mongering nonsense. For a brief moment, I thought that Javid would be a breath of fresh air and sanity but I now realise that of course he isn’t. He’s playing us, making out he is… Read more »
The Stanley and Boris shit show continues…
As we continue making it more and more difficult and unpleasant for people to enjoy a drink in convivial surroundings, let’s not feign surprise at the increase in trade in illegal drugs.
This is coercion and blackmail – We are in Dr. Mengele territory —. It is hard to believe it is happening — For God Sake kids say NO — let them finish the trials — tThere are too many top TOP doctors and scientists telling you this is wrong and disasterous — for you to ignore what they are saying ——
The young uns won’t need meds for a house party. Far more enjoyable and cheaper than going to the pub anyway. As long as no one opens the door for the plod. Speakeasy anyone?
It makes clear there is evil behind the vaccines.
82% of women Covid-vaccinated in the first six months of pregnancy suffer a miscarriage. That’s an astonishingly high figure – somewhere between three to 8 times the normal average (published estimates give that as between 10 and 26%). What more evidence does anybody need that these vaccines are extremely dangerous.
And yet this criminal government persists in trying to get everyone vaccinated, just so they can then introduce Digital Compliance ID – hence this absurd proposal.
This is unconscionable. It’s like the Governmnet’s been taken over by a conglomerate of Bond villains.
When’s the next protest in London?
Here’s the background to that 82% figure (note that 705 out of the 827 participants in the study were in the third trimester and only one pregnancy did not complete among them so the 104 miscarriages were out of a total of 125 of the participants – a huge proportion):

“‘In autumn vaccine passports could become an important tool that will allow us to… {control and monitor every aspect of your lives},” a Downing Street source said.’
My words in brackets but that’s what the Downing Street source meant to say.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Those were my first thoughts on reading about this as well. Now, having had a chance to reflect, I’m thinking: fuck off you nasty fuckers, .fuck off, fuck off and when you’ve finished fucking off, fuck off some more.
The Covid Recovery Group won’t stand for this continued Covid terror nonsense, watch as they resign the Whip 3, 2, 1, 0.99999999999, 0.99999999998, 0.999999999989…
The most useless bunch of chocolate teapots ever…worse than the rest because they know in their hearts and their heads it’s all deeply wrong.
If this is implemented its the final straw for me – I will take the government to court.
There will be funding and resistance. Let’s keep the faith, what’s the alternative?
The crowd funding will be enormous for sure.
How can it be that we are forced to pay people who lie and manipulate us!?
Our entire political system has failed, our education system, legal system and medical system too.
I always thought I’d hate to live in a country where anyone you meet could potentially be armed, now I wish I did.
Doctors Say NO to Medical Tyranny – Dr. Roger Hodkinson, an outspoken Canadian pathologist and the doctor who took on BIG TOBACCO, now leading DOCTORS SAY NO to COVID tyranny, and Dr. Michael Yeadon, former Senior VP for Pfizer as Chief Scientist for the worldwide Respiratory and Allergic Disease Unit, now bringing critical medical information on COVID Vaccine risks to help save lives.

We were told by the establishment not so long ago that vax is 95% effective in preventing very bad covid. Maybe infection too but it was about avoiding death.. I remember this being said very well. Now,when this is exactly what is going on (regardless if because of vacc, I’m highly doubtful), instead of making it success story for the government, they push on like it’s march 2019. So vacc is working great and is not working at all at the same time! Same story all over Europe! Can someone explain to me how is this possible?!
what happened to the no vaccine passports that Gove said he had given up on?
He didn’t say that, it never happened, there have always been Covid passports.
Who is John Galt?
We are!
So for the negative tests they will be using lateral flow device tests then I guess?
Can someone please explain this then (again sent to Toby/Will and other MSM but not published or questioned, only on a couple of social media sites):
Innova and DHSC Lateral Flow Test Devices:
Innova were the original “manufacturers” of the mass testing lateral flow devices.
Their instruction leaflet is here:

Interesting reading as it clearly states for use on “individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first five days of the onset of symptoms.“
And on page 3
“14.The performance of this test has not been evaluated for use in patients without signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and performance may differ in asymptomatic individuals. ”
And this lot:
LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE
1.Clinical performance was evaluated with frozen samples, and test performance may be different with fresh samples
2.Users should test specimens as quickly as possible after specimen collection.
3.Positive test results do not rule out co-infections with other pathogens.
4.Results from SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test should be correlated with the clinical history, epidemiological data, and other data available to the clinician evaluating the patient.
5.A… Read more »
Sir, you are one very “Awkward Git”! Hurrah! Keep banging this drum.
Because the government know that the courts will not uphold challenges to this arbitrary rule on the basis that it is unreasonable or ultra vires, there being no ’emergency’ that the Secretary of State could reasonably regard as justifying this. The politicians do it because they can, and they adore the power, and will not stop to think what the consequences are.
It’s all they’ve got.
The Scamdemic has nothing to do with a “virus.” The virus is the means to an end – MASSIVE population reduction and a return to a feudal society for those who survive.
Of course if the plan succeeds humanity will disappear from planet earth within 100 years.
The so-called elites are too thick and stupid to realise that wholesale demolition of functioning systems and societies and accompanying infrastructure will enable any sort of “build back better.”
The tossers are simply signing their own death certificates.
The emergency licence for their Experimental gene therapy expires in September, threaten you now so that you run out and get jabbed. It was only 12 months ago that our ‘world class’ test/track/trace system was holding everybody’s details in an Excel spread sheet. They don’t have the deployable tech for this, Italy shut down 35, yes 35 fake EU passport sites last week alone. Hopefully sceptics are sceptical about this, spread the word, stop the panic.
Will they not just be renewed though?
Not if they (the Government, i.e. we) have run out of money.
But of course that’s one thing which Quantitative Easing can “solve”!
The emergency license will go through on a nod.

Excellent, I could hear their voices saying the lines; funny, true and very sad.
All roads lead to vaccine coercion, the question is why? Money or something more sinister.
Something more sinister (the Great Fascist Reset) and money as well, by the billion. The two are inextricably linked. And then there’s megalomania in the mix.
t’s because Boris Johnson despite being a libertarian at heart and is struggling to fight off those evil SAGE guys.
That’s the story I’ve been sold and I’m believing it. 100%
Oh and his mind has been captured by Carrie. But scruffy old Boris deep down really wants us all to be free. It’s just that he’s a bit up against it at the moment. As long as he’s around we have hope, though.
Just think how much worse everything would be if that commie Keir Starmer was in charge instead. We’d have lockdowns and masks everywhere. We wouldn’t be able to travel. We’d be getting vaccine passports. Our “health” would be surveilled with an NHS app.
We have all of those things now, but the difference with good old Boris, with his marvellously scruffy hair, is that we know he doesn’t really want those things. He’s one of us! Just as miffed as the rest of us.

His hero is the mayor from Jaws. The one who keeps the beaches open. He’s finally going to get to be the mayor from jaws… but you’ll have to be a licensed shark fisherman to go anywhere near the water.
Remember in the USSR in the 1930s, some in the Camps, knowing they were innocent of the NKVD’s charges, said ‘…If only someone would tell Stalin…’
When they run out of reactionaries, they have to start on the revolutionaries.
Was the guy who sold it you called Tobes?
Genocide.
Got you, suckers!
Freedom day… hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
No vaccine passports….hahahahahahahahahahahahhahhaaha
The British public gullible as always.
“Cases” are the output from the mass manufacture of tests which are known to reliably produce thousands of false positives and are used for that purpose.
Utterly disgusting and worthy of a revolt and overthrowing of the government by lethal force.
The rebellious colonists rose up against less.
I agree but the trouble is that the the majority would stand with the government and fight against us.
It’s the Times. for a start. It’s full of “believed to be”, “thought to have”, “believe”, “so-called”, “could”, “estimate”…It says of people having the virus – you mean tested (false) positive? And don’t get me started on Stokes Lampard! How is she the new jab tsar for the youth all of a sudden? Kind of flies in the face of her previous work in obstetrics and gynaecology, and her “oh, so caring” role in Matty Hancock’s little project: the National Academy of Social Prescribing.
So far we’ve seen:
I can’t believe anything they say!
Are you suggesting that you ever did believe anything they said? Please!
