SAY NO TO FREEDOM PASS/ PASSPORTS; STOP DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF VACCINATION STATUS
The Issue
PROPOSED HEALTH PASSPORT/FREEDOM PASSES
Letter to David Warburton MP
Introduction of Health Passports for both public and private sector, in a bid to restart the travel and hospitality industries, making the vaccine indirectly compulsory will hinder unvaccinated individuals to resume access to these services. Although Britain was previously formally ruling out ‘Immunity Passports”, the biometrics firm IPROOV and cybersecurity firm MVINE have developed a vaccine passport, which will be optionally provided as an app on phones of those vaccinated, now extra funding has been pumped in to make this a Vaccine Passport Scheme. Andrew Bud COE of the IPROOV, said the system will be integrated with the NHS, and could be rolled out to everyone in the country.
Last year in November, vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi had suggested that pubs and business could opt to deny entry to customers who have refused vaccination and there was a suggestion of an Immunity Passport. Boris Jonson PM has also announced Freedom Passes may come into effect.
It is somewhat clear that the governments may not directly force people to take the Covid19 vaccine, as it will be a breach of law and disastrous from a public relations viewpoint. However, Immunity passports are an indirect way of achieving the same goal.
Current legislation does not cover this point of businesses requiring employees to vaccinate to before coming to work, therefore this is a request to the Government to act immediately to address this. Pimlico plumbers have already imposed these restrictions within their company policy.
International Health Regulations prohibit health measures that are discriminatory and impede international travel. The UK should adopt such regulation to domestic law. The prospects for discrimination under ‘Health Passport’ scheme are some of the most serious of any digital policy proposed in a democracy, ever.
Please show your support to this very important issue by signing this petition / letter to David Warburton MP to address this before it's too late.
