24 hour flip flop.The UK government has insisted that vaccine passports will remain an integral tool in fighting the spread of COVID
just a day after health secretary Sajid Javid asserted that they had been completely scrapped.Well, that didn't take long.
During his media rounds yesterday morning, Javid said that vaccine passports represented a "huge intrusion into people's lives," adding, "I am pleased to say that we will not be going ahead."
However, within 24 hours, the government has indicated that the system will in fact form a "first-line defence" against a winter wave of coronavirus.
"No. 10 said checks on the vaccine status of people going to nightclubs and other crowded events remained a crucial part of the government's winter Covid plan due to be unveiled by the prime minister tomorrow," reports the Times.It appears as though the only change is that the passports won't be introduced at the end of this month, appearing instead during early winter when COVID cases will inevitably and conveniently begin to rise again.Mark Harper, chairman of the Covid Recovery Group, said of vaccine passports:
"They shouldn't be kept in reserve — they are pointless, damaging and discriminatory."Trusting government pronouncements on vaccine passports is a fool's game.
At the end of last year, the British public were assured that they would never come into force, even as the government was paying millions of pounds to private contractors to set up the system.As we previously
highlighted, vaccine passports will put nightclubs out of business because they operate at a net profit margin of 15 per cent, while one third of under 40's in the UK haven't had a single dose of the vaccine.
Boris Johnson will also signal that he won't hesitate to re-introduce mask mandates in winter if cases numbers significantly increase, which they are sure to do given that the UK counts 'COVID deaths' as any that occurred within a 28 day COVID diagnosis no matter what the cause of the death.
As we have repeatedly highlighted, vaccine passports represent a digital ID, which represents the implementation of an onerous social credit score system in the west.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a national address from No.10 this afternoon to sell his England winter Covid plan to the public.
Earlier in the day, the Government announced its Plan A and Plan B to combat the pandemic over the coming months.
Plan A is for the state we are in now, while Plan B will be brought in if the situation gets worse.
The rules will apply in England, with the devolved nations deciding what rules to apply.
Under Plan A, the Government will remove more of its powers but retain some it deems "essential" for responding to the pandemic.
The worst measures will be kept in reserve, including mandating vaccine passports in some venues and forcing face masks to be mandatory by law once again in shops and on public transport.
Also under Plan B, people would be encouraged to work from home. And a lockdown is not ruled out - though it is an absolute last resort.

Mr Johnson stressed that he could not "rule out completely" the possibility of imposing mandatory vaccine passports.
"We do not see the need now to proceed, for instance, with mandatory certification.
"It's just not sensible to rule out completely this kind of option now when we must face the fact that it might still make the difference between keeping business open at full capacity or not."
