We don't understand why some groups continue to declare #vaccinepassports have been 'seen off' or 'gotten rid of'. Yes, the legal req. is dropped, but here's the reality:
1⃣ Domestic COVID-status remains on the #NHS app for a 'limited period'...
(contd.)
We've asked @DHSCgovuk for how long this 'limited period' is. No response yet.
Contracts have been awarded by @UKHSA for continued maintaince of the #NHS#COVID19 app as well as £212m awarded to @SercoGroup for another two years of Test & Trace.
So this remains very much a 'live issue' & we must not be naive about what's going on in the background.

◽️ No indicative timescale clarified as to whether domestic, voluntary COVID-status certification will end. All we're told is it will 'therefore remain'.
(contd.)
◽️ Even though @scotgov advised businesss' who opt to use voluntary certification to be clear about their objectives checking COVID-status, doesn't make the scheme *itself* justifiable or proportionate to continue.
◽️ Intl #CovidPass will remain for 'at least' another year.
◽️ 'Helping customers feel safe' is an example of creating an artifical, nonsensical 'demand' for certification, which does *nothing* to prevent spread of #SARSCoV2.
◽️ Blaming a virus for 'inequality' is ridiculous. Govt overrection caused more damage than #COVID19.
🧵 If @ReutersFacts conclude that our content was 'partly false', then maybe they could explain why they cherry picked info from #Zelenskyy but left out Digital Minister @FedorovMykhailo.
We'll fact check the 'fact-checkers' more below ⤵️
1⃣ The ePidtrymka (eSupport) scheme was launched within the 'Diia' app on 19th Dec 2021 to incentivise Ukrainians who received a #COVID19 jab. The amount was 1000 UAH (£25).
It's a service portal in line with the 'Action' or 'Diia' {Govt) app, for Ukrainian citizens aged 14+ to receive a 1000 UAH incentive once they're fully vaccinated, have a 'green certificate' & a special bank card.
3⃣ EU admit that #SARSCoV2 can break immunity. Non approved WHO jabs & the 'recovered' are asked to take a pre-departure PCR.
4⃣ "Member States can continue accepting, under their own national law, proof of testing and vaccination issued by non-EU countries"
5⃣ "Priority will be given to vaccinated travellers" - the EU continue to adopt a two-tiered societal approach.
6⃣ Zero reference to 'unvaccinated'. Main focus is on jabbed & recovered. We can only assume unjabbed will continue to be requested to test & quarantine.
