Petition
Do not rollout Covid-19 vaccine passports

We want the Government to commit to not rolling out any e-vaccination status/immunity passport to the British public. Such passports could be used to restrict the rights of people who have refused a Covid-19 vaccine, which would be unacceptable.

On Dec 14th 2020, Nadhim Zahawi MP said ‘there are no plans for vaccine passports’. He continues to deny the Government has plans despite reports that people who have received the Covid-19 vaccine will be offered a passport proving they have been vaccinated as part of a government-funded trial.

The Government must be completely clear to the public about the use of vaccine passports & their intentions, which will undoubtedly affect societal cohesion & effect the economic recovery of Great Britain this year & into 2022.

As of this time on March 2, 2021, there are 247,188 signatures.

Adverse reactions, including deaths, have been reported via the U.S. government VAERS website which can be searched.

The UK government has been back and forth, but have talked in February about introducing vaccine certification for domestic public venues such as pubs, theatres and supermarkets.
