Covid passports are surely a must!

When Tory MPs get together and whinge on about human rights and privacy risks if the government goes ahead with vaccine passports, you do wonder what sort of world they live in. They say passports will be discriminatory, unfair and an intrusion into privacy rights. What total nonsense. We're not living in a normal world right now. We're living in a Covid world and as a consequence every measure that can be taken to ease our way back to normal life, or a more normal life, then I'm for it. What is wrong with turning up at Heathrow airport or wherever and showing your ordinary and Covid passports to the airline check-in desk before they let you through. Personally I would feel a helluva lot more confident and relaxed if I knew that everyone on board had either been vaccinated or at last tested negative. The most important thing right now is for every adult to get vaccinated. That's the only way finally to get rid of this virus. If someone doesn't want to get vaccinated, then he or she doesn't get a vaccine passport and can't go on holiday abroad or anywhere else for that matter. It's that simple. It's not being dictatorial, it's just eminently sensible health-driven common sense. While there are people refusing or not bothering to get jabbed, the virus will be the winner and will surge around looking for more victims. So let's have the vaccine passport or certificate or app or some sort of document so that we can be whisked through airport controls onto the plane for sunny beach weather. And likewise, the other end. Doesn't that make sense? So, you Tory MPs who seem to think a vaccine passport is the end of the world, it's time to get real. This is a dfferent world we live in and different measures are needed to grab a slice of normality once again.
