I’m late 20’s, not an old person vulnerable to scams, and yes I know the text is awfully written and full of misinformation. Quite literally the point of me posting it. FYI, Accurx are not fake: https://www.accurx.com/security-and-privacy/for-patients

My brother, not friend, but I can guarantee you all it’s not a fake text, not going to argue about it. He even rung the GP afterwards and got himself removed from their comms. Couldn’t care less if you don’t want to believe me! (And yes the link goes straight to the relevant NHS website.) Re...

It isn’t, it’s the same number all his GP-related info comes from…appointment reminders etc.

The Conservatives have nothing like a majority when it comes to a vote on vaccine passports, huge swathes of the backbenches were preparing to vote against it. 43 had already signed a declaration opposing them. Everything relied on Labour, the frontbench of which has intimated they could not...

You are of course correct - shame parts of the NHS don’t understand this. Attached is a screenshot my brother was sent a few weeks back by his GP.

By that logic I can’t ever celebrate anything the government does. As I’ve said, it needs parliamentary approval and they clearly don’t have the numbers, the same will be the case in three months. It’s a step in the right direction, delighted.

Also, the government can keep it ‘in reserve’ all it likes. The fact remains that they need Parliament to approve it, and they haven’t got the numbers. A significant factor in the row-back, I’m sure.

‘They literally announced it seven days ago’. Yes, and they ‘literally announced that vaccine passports would be discriminatory and they would not be introducing them’ four days before they were initially announced a few months ago. Whilst it’s true that they’ve had to manage an impossible...

Wouldn’t bother. Many people are absolutely desperate for passports and restrictions and will never admit they were wrong ‘because the government said they were going to do it’. Because what government ministers say they will do, always happens.

And if I’m driving alone? For the analogy to work it has to be broadly applicable, given the passport itself is proposed as a broad solution at all mass events. In fairness, I should have clarified I was thinking in terms of driving alone.

This analogy only works to explain the benefits of having the vaccine, not of vaccine passports. The point of passports is to protect others - whether or not you wear a seatbelt does not protect others, only yourself.
