@BorisJohnson #Covidvaccine It’s not a vaccine in the traditional sense, it’s an MRNA cocktail. There is no vaccine for Covid, only a symptom-minimising jab which does not stop you getting or spreading it. Both Pfizer & Moderna concede their jab does not prevent transmission nor immunity.

@BorisJohnson none of the so called vaccines guarantee protection from transmission, so if you have had the vaccine you could still transmit to others. Rendering the idea of vaccine passports irrelevant. As well as being in conflict with basic human rights and civil liberties.

@BorisJohnson It’s against the principles of free and open society and directly implies coercion. Also as I’ve said above. The passport idea is pointless. The vaccines are designed to reduce the impact of symptoms in the individual, they do not protect others from risk.

@BorisJohnson comparing vaccination passports to yellow fever in a customs entry process to a country is nothing like suggesting excluding someone from participation in society by demanding vaccination and for them to declare their records to another member of the general public. #PapersPlease

@BorisJohnson with vaccine;
1) can still contract/transmit
2) will still need to wear a mask
3) will still need to comply with lockdown
4) won’t be permanently immune
5) May not be protected from all strains
6) if <70 with no underlying health issues has 99.98% chance of survival without it

@BorisJohnson The ONLY advantage they have over someone who HASNT is;

1) the vaccine will reduce or mitigate the symptoms

That’s it.

Ditch this idea of #CovidPassports it is unlawful and more importantly, a waste of time

@BorisJohnson @threadreaderapp please unroll 👍
