The plan to mandate CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine passports for nightclubs and crowded events in England will not go ahead, UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Sunday.

It comes after British lawmakers across the political spectrum voiced strong opposition to the plans this week.

Speaking on the BBC’s “The Andrew Marr Show” on Sunday, the health secretary said he “never liked the idea” of forcing people to show their papers in everyday activities, but the government was right to look at the evidence.

What I can say is that we’ve looked at it properly and whilst we should keep it in reserve as a potential option, I’m pleased to say that we will not be going ahead with plans for vaccine passports,” Javid said.

The health secretary added that the government shouldn’t be doing things for the sake of it or because others are doing them.

“So many countries, at the time they implemented it, was to try and boost their vaccination rates and you can understand why they might have done that,” he said.

Javid said that England has so far been “very successful” with its vaccination rates, with 55 percent of 16- to 17- year-olds having had their first doses only a month after the jabs were offered to this age group.

Shortly before his announcement on the BBC, the health secretary said the government hadn’t made a final decision on domestic vaccine passport in a separate interview with Sky News. He also said that he wants to get rid of PCR tests for international travel “as soon as [he] possibly can.”

Also on Sunday, the UK government said Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to repeal some powers from the Coronavirus Act, so that the government will no longer have the powers to shut down the economy, apply restrictions to events and gatherings, disrupt education, extend time limits for urgent warrants, or detain infectious people.

A number of European countries have introduced CCP virus status passports for settings including large events and restaurants.

The Scottish Parliament voted 68 votes to 55 on Thursday to support the implementation of CCP virus vaccine passports in Scotland’s nightclubs and other crowded venues.

A negative test for COVID-19 will not be accepted at this stage. The Scottish government said it was to boost vaccine uptake and to prevent limited PCR lab capacity from being overwhelmed by clubbers. The now-scrapped vaccine passport plan for England also wouldn’t have accepted negative test results.

According to official figures, CCP virus vaccination take-up rates across the UK’s four nations have been broadly similar.

As of Sept. 9, nearly 90 percent of the UK population aged over 16 have received the first dose of a CCP virus vaccine, and over 80 percent have received both doses, the government said.

  1. “Whilst we should keep it in reserve as a potential option”
    So it is just a temporary halt.
    When the vax injuries begin to become too obvious this Autumn/winter, they can blame it on the Delta variant that has spread by vaxxed mixing with the unvaxxed in crowded venues, and then say they had made a mistake.
    As in America a large percentage of the unvaxxed in the UK are from the black and Asian community and it would not look good to keep refusing them entry to venues!
    One could also say that they are working on the Gates funded ‘blockchain’ world vaxx pass which will be capable of being linked to digital credit.
    This has been done for their convenience, not ours, and whatever ever the Gov say is usually opposite to what they really mean.
    Australia is the test bed to see what they can get away with, unfortunately I can see it coming to all countries eventually, the WHO have been blarting on about how it will endemic and may be with us forever. Its just that little bit of hope that they like to sprinkle in the mix and confuse, like two weeks to flatten the curve and infinite world travel after being vaxxed, its all bread and circuses, smoke and mirrors.
