UNITED KINGDOM, 12 January 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The British government finances the trial of COVID-19 vaccination passports, less than a month after the minister responsible for COVID-19 vaccines declared that ‘we do not intend to to import so called non-vaccine passport ”and urged businesses not to even think about it. ”
British newspaper The Telegraph reports that biometrics industry iProov and cybersecurity firm Mvine will offer thousands of Britons a free app that will enable them to digitally prove they have received a vaccine.
According to the report “[t]he will oversee the trial by two directors of public health ”, with the government funding £ 75,000.
The report further states that the companies that develop the passports say that if they are successful, they can be expanded ‘to millions of people’.
The Telegraph report mentions that the government has contradicted itself on the use of vaccine passports, citing conflicting statements from senior officials.
“In December, Michael Gove said they were ‘not planning’, but Nadhim Zahawi, the minister overseeing the vaccine’s deployment, said they were ‘looking at the technology’,” the report said. .

Gove, a senior government official and cabinet minister, said in an interview with Sky News in December that a vaccine passport was not planned. ‘
“I certainly do not intend to introduce vaccine passports and I do not know anyone else in government,” Gove said.
Talk In late November, BBC Radio 4 told Zahawi that although the vaccine would not be mandatory, he expected immunity passports to be used, especially in businesses. ‘I think you’ll probably find that restaurants and bars and cinemas and other venues, sports venues, are likely to use the system as well – as they did with the app. [NHS Track and Trace app]. ”
“People have to decide for themselves whether they want to be vaccinated or not,” he told the BBC.
‘But I think the very strong message you will see, this is the way we return the whole country, and so it’s good for your family, it’s good for your community, it’s good for your country to be vaccinated . And in the end, people will have to make a decision, ‘he continued.
‘I think the pressure comes in many ways from both sides, from service providers who will say,’ Look, show us that you’ve been vaccinated. ‘But also, we will make the technology as easy and accessible as possible. ”
Zahawi, who was specifically asked about vaccine passports, said the government was “looking at the technology”.
But during a December 14 parliamentary debate on whether to impose restrictions on those not vaccinated against COVID-19, Zahawi returned his previous comments, saying twice that the government “does not intend to introduce so-called vaccine passports”. to set. “
Zahawi linked such passports to fines for those who refuse a COVID-19 vaccine, saying: “While I am aware that other countries may consider immunity passports along with vaccination, it is my convincing belief that we people who are not convinced do not stay, do not punish. ”
During the debate, Zahawi, along with other politicians present, spoke out against compulsory vaccinations, describing them as ‘discriminatory and completely wrong’.
Zahawi also addressed the issue of vaccination cards to be issued to people after they were stabbed. Zahawi said: “it does not form a so-called vaccine passport; nor can it be used as a form of identification. That would be absolutely wrong. ”
Yesterday the New York Post reports that Denmark is also developing a digital vaccine passport.
Comment about the prospect earlier this week, political cartoonist and closing skeptic Bob Moran wrote: “Health Passport. Vaccination certificate. Immunity card. Community permit. Freedom Pass. Whatever they call it, if you accept the concept, you will never be free again. ”
