Test and Trace is 'working on making immunity passports to allow Brits to prove they have been vaccinated against Covid-19 using NHS app'

Just seen this

This is getting out of control now in my view and all this rethoric is disturbing and irresponsible.

Nobody should be coerced into having vaccines:

  1. that use new technology
  2. for which long term side effects are not known (precisely because the technology for most of them is new)
  3. when pharmaceutical companies producing them are bearing no responsibility for potential side effects

The vaccines should not be touted as a 'passport' to recoup our 'freedoms'

Just to clarify, I'm not anti-vaxx (we have had all childhood vaccines and the flu vaccine)

@Redolent

You have no idea how long any drugs/vaccines you take have been trialled for, absolutely not a clue.

A very important point that's worth repeating.

Why? Would you not be able to find out?

Most medicines that are used aren't new.

not really.
  1. you can find out as the clinical trial papers are public domain
  2. Even the mRNA technique is not unique or brand new. There are drugs that have been using it for years. Even on infants and children. So there is actually lot of research and findings on the technique itself.

mRNA definitely not new, this was published in 1998

What about the concerns raised in this petition. Infertility of unknown duration and potential fatal allergic reaction to PEG, one of the vaccine ingredients.

I have found no evidence that covid vaccines can cause infertility. There are however plenty of peer reviewed articles showing that covid infection can cause male infertility. With regard to the infertility mentioned in the petition you realise that if that was a risk it would also be a risk with covid-19 infections.
