The British government will not mandate vaccine passports for nightclubs, cinemas, and other large public venues in England after all, Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced on Sunday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government has backtracked on controversial plans to introduce vaccine passports domestically and is set to end draconian emergency powers given to the state under the Coronavirus Act, in a major concession to anti-lockdown factions within the Conservative Party.
Appearing on the BBC’s Andrew Marr programme on Sunday, Health Secretary Sajid Javid said in reference to vaccine passports: “I’m pleased to say we will not be going ahead with plans.”
“We shouldn’t be doing things for the sake of it,” Javid added.
The Health Secretary also said that while he currently cannot make any firm commitments, he does not expect another lockdown to be imposed on the country, saying: “I’m not anticipating any more lockdowns… I just don’t see how we get to another lockdown”.
The move represents a stark U-turn from the government, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson declaring in July that “By the end of September, when all over-18s will have had their chance to be doubled-jabbed, we’re planning to make full vaccination the condition for entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather. Proof of a negative test will no longer be enough.”
Mr Johnson will lay out coronavirus plans for the winter on Tuesday, in which he will reportedly announce the scaling back of the government’s coronavirus powers.

Keep hope alive.
Seems a little odd. Why now, when several “variants” appear to be “raging” their way across the world and xiden just poked the bear? 🤔
One way to brainwash the sheeple is to constantly change positions with no apparent reason—back and forth, back and forth.
It leaves them stunned and paralyzed, hypnotized by the back and forth, back and forth...
We see it hear a lot “there must be a reason”.
Wrong.
The reason is brainwashing—so that you are no longer able to use reason.
They know the variants have escaped the vaccines, that cat is out of the bag. So mandates and passports won’t make an iota of difference. They won’t here either.
Have you ever seen someone “breaking” a wild horse? Once it’s been lassoed, they gently let it out and pull it up closer, all while holding onto the lead.
Poll numbers are so low Boris had go to the basement to see them
Sounds like a good English name.
Geeez. Guess “Way To Go Joe” is gonna fed up yet again? TFB! Now if they could just get the aussies under control.
