🗓️ One year ago today, 369 MP's voted to implement the 'Health Protection (Entry to Venues) S.I. No. 1416, requiring certain businesses to request the domestic #NHS COVID Pass for entry.

126 MP's voted against these measures.

stopcommonpass.org/mps-vaccine-pa…
All of this despite the best efforts from common cause organisations along with the public, as well as a report by @CommonsPACAC dated 12th June 2021 urging the Govt not to introduce these #PlanB measures.

votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/…
On Feb 9th '21, the former PM @BorisJohnson under enormous pressure from the CRG & in the wake of the resignation of Lord Frost, decided to drop the last remaining restrictions one month early incl. Plan B #vaccinepassports as part of the Govt's 'Living with COVID' plan.
From May 12th, the domestic #NHS COVID Pass was 'toggled off' even though the Govt had already examined a possible rapid redeployment over the winter months if necessary.

In July, Maggie Throup confirmed that the COVID Pass scheme is due to close by 31st March 2023.
Everything made sense when @SteveBarclay on Nov 1st gave statutory authority to GP's to begin sharing patient medical data for '#COVID19 purposes' until April '23.

Another reason why the CP was set to remain in place was due to data collection.

gov.uk/government/pub…
With over 140 countries having scrapped their border restrictions & knowing that jabs weren't tested or designed to interrupt or halt #SARSCoV2 transmission, the Govt had the opportunity to drastically scale back or scrap the entire CP scheme by the end of '22

(contd.)
But in doing so, this would mean a large drop off of users of the #NHS app & COVID Pass which could interrupt &/or reduce the data collection occurring between Nov 1st '22 - April 30th '23.

In our opinion, these were the 'transition options' referred to by Throup.
In summary, the entire CP scheme was baked in pre-launch & the Govt knew when they wanted to retire it once all objectives were complete & despite what some groups say about having 'won'.

Ultimately, it was all a bit more detailed & complex than that.

🚨 The World Health Assembly INB group will meet 5-7 Dec to consider a 'conceptual zero draft' (CZD) regarding 'pandemic prevention, preparedness and response'.

Proceedings can be followed live from the press release below (h/t @WAPFLondon)

Recommended reading on some critical Q&A by
@WHO incl. potential targeted amendments under the IHR (2005) also known as our current 'pandemic treaty'.

One of the most concerning aspects for people is the notion that any new pandemic accord will automatically usurp WHO member states own governments & their domestic legislation.

🧵 As reported by @PublicTech, the 'National Communications Data Service' will be able to filter out #UK citizens internet connection records (ICR) through a National Service by the end of 2022.

When the Home Office, NCA & 16 leading internet providers were questioned - silence.
🔴 According to @PublicTech, no official announcement was made by the Govt or other authorities about the expansion of these activities into a National Service, which would allow LEA's to access info on sites visited by #UK citizens.
🔴 No correspondence was answered by the @IPCOffice, a statutory body whose role is to “oversee the use of covert investigatory powers by public authorities".

When telcos were approached to comment if they'd support this service & how they'd provide data - silence.

🧵 Thanks to info from @PublicTech, we reported on the new 'National Situation Centre' who awarded a six month contract to @Telefonica_En for access to its 'Motion & Data Insights' service.

The data provided to SitCen by @O2 represents around a third of the #UK population.
'02 Motion' claim that customer data is 'aggregated & anonymised'. To our knowledge this data is being shared without customer knowledge or consent.

'Anonymised' could mean either fully anonymised or 'pseudo-anonymised' - where data could be re-identified. This isn't clear.
'SitCen' was created in 2021 to help govt 'anticipate' & track crises, & 'support response to events, e.g. future public health emergencies', as well as terrorist incidents & other NATSEC issues.

With terrorism & NATSEC it would be necessary to be able to identify data, no?

🧵Over the past few days there's been much speculation regarding point 23 of the #G20 Leaders Declaration & global #vaccinepassports. Our analysis:

1⃣ The use of digital/non digital solutions for another respiratory virus like 'pandemic' are *useless*.

consilium.europa.eu/media/60201/20… Image
2⃣ There's *no joint ratification or amendment* of point 23 under the existing IHR (2005).

3⃣ Again, no matter the recognition or 'success' as they call it, re: digital #COVID19 certificates, they've been as useless as a chocolate fireguard over the past two years.
4⃣ The WHO published a guide last year on tech specs & implementation of digital documentation.

This acts as *guidance & recommendation*. It cannot be mandated under the IHR, even with a targeted Annex 6 amendment.

This doesn't override the decisions of its member states. Image

We've noticed a lot of drama re-emerging with the @DCMS IDVT (Identity Verification Technology) & the use of IDSP's (Identity Service Providers) which is something that we & @TruthTalkUK covered since 2021.

Some call it 'the end of freedom', but let's revisit what it is: Image
Since April 2022, landlords, employers & DBS checks may be conducted by using a IDSP to verify British or Irish citizens ID credentials.

The 'objective' is to improve mobility & to enhance security rather than using less secure methods. This *maybe* useful for remote workers. Image
The most important thing to note - not only is the scheme *not mandatory*, but other methods of verification must be made available for onboarding such as doing so in person e.g. landlord/employer or using the relevant UK Govt gateway in the process, e.g. DBS. Image

If you're not concerned about @NHSDigital using the Palantir 'Foundry' system, which will be used to process confidential patient data without your consent, then you should be.

Here's just a few examples of our concern from Palantir's Terms & Conditions, circa. 2020 ⤵️
What is the 'other data' that Palantir may collect from its Foundry software. Where is it stored & does it leave the country where processing occurs.
Will patient data leave the United Kingdom & be processed elsewhere like the #EU or 'other locations'.

Where are these 'other locations'.

Which 'third party' is involved in the 'datacentre security standards'.
