Wales First Minister Mark Drakeford has accused the UK Government of abandoning the Science. But why does his 'Alert Level Zero' still involve masks and vaccine passports?
The Prime Minster has announced not only the end of Plan B measures from January 26th – including vaccine passports, work-from-home guidance and even face masks – but his intention to end the remaining measures as well.
Laura Dodsworth has written a good piece in her new Substack account, arguing that the Government's 'Winter Plan' is packed with 'nudges' that are bound to "confuse people into compliance".
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has attempted to clarify what exactly would trigger the Government to implement its 'Plan B' (including vaccine passports and mask mandates) this winter but was very coy on the specifics.
Vaccine passports will be introduced with a weeks notice if infections don't stay low this winter, and we could see the return of mask mandates as well as of a whole new lockdown, the Government has announced.
