Mike Yeadon on Asymptomatic Transmission (AT): "I didn’t do the work, but I know two physicians who did look at every case report in which AT was claimed. At the time, there were just six case reports involving only seven individuals. Each one was such a weak piece of evidence that it’s astonishing we accepted it at all. AT is not only counterintuitive but runs counter to our lived experiences.
I’m sure it happens, but rarely. It simply isn’t a major contribution to epidemic spreading. But we’re required to believe that it is, or else we’d realise that mass testing of the healthy, masking of those with no symptoms & lockdown itself are all unnecessary.
Unfortunately, the evidence is clear that it’s all deception."

Ok, The UK Government has opened a consultation for input on vaccine passports.

PLEASE share & make your views felt.

Subject: COVID-Status Certification Review - Call for evidence


Dear sir/madam,

This review concerns a matter which, depending on the decisions taken, represents the most fundamental alteration of the relationship between state & citizen in a generation, and it’s also one from which retreat would be all but impossible.

I am completely against the idea that we need to prove to others that we’ve received a particular medical intervention. Here are some reasons why:

1. IT IS CONTRARY TO INTERNATIONAL LAW : U.K. is a signatory to the Council of Europe’s recent Declaration on vaccination. Essentially, they reminded us all that (please see 7.3.1 & 7.3.2 below):



2. IT IS NOT NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PROTECT OTHERS: The risks to public health posed by SARS-CoV-2 are orders of magnitude lower than from, for example, Yellow Fever, often invoked in debates on this topic. Yellow Fever is a very poor analogy from which to draw any conclusions. 
The reason it’s vital not to bring Yellow Fever into U.K. is that it is currently absent & the community has zero immunity to it. Introduction could cost an enormous loss of life.
Contrast this with the case of covid19, everyone who wishes to be protected through vaccination will have been so protected. It is therefore immaterial what the status of others is. The argument that recipients might not be fully protected, so others who aren’t at risk must also be vaccinated is a logical fallacy. If vaccination really doesn’t protect the recipient, it’s illogical to coerce & effectively to mandate the entire population to receive it. The argument is being tortured in order, notionally, to reduce an already small residual risk after vaccination to a somewhat lower risk yet. It’s unimpressive logic even in its own lights. No, once those who give free & informed consent to vaccination are protected, it’s simply not true that they remain at elevated risk if others around them are not vaccinated. Though in my view, it is a reasonable expectation that vaccination will not only protect the recipient, but it will also reduce transmission, to some extent. This is because both illness & the ability to be an infection risk to others turns on how much viral replication occurs in the infected person, and immunity, whether naturally acquired or through vaccination, reduces viral replication.

3. RISKS HAVE BEEN EXAGGERATED: there’s no doubt that in some individuals, SARS-CoV-2 is a serious health threat. However, it is not a serious threat to the bulk of the population under 70 who are in sound health. The entire set of policy responses have been inappropriate & without doubt, damaging to everyone, while the evidence indicates they’ve saved no one. There is no justification whatsoever for the introduction of “Vaccination Passports”, regardless of what other countries do. This is just another overreaction.


4. IT IS UNETHICAL & DANGEROUS TO COERCE MILLIONS OF THOSE NOT AT RISK FROM THE VIRUS TO GET VACCINATED: For those vulnerable to covid19, vaccination almost certainly comes with a positive risk / benefit, though do note, we know absolutely nothing about long term unwanted effects. BUT those who are healthy & younger are NOT at risk. Vaccination or indeed any medical intervention comes with risks. It doesn’t matter where the jury finally comes out on various potential risks. Forcing tens of millions of people to accept vaccination achieves absolutely nothing except enriching certain individuals & corporations and will unfortunately be associated with an unknown number of totally avoidable deaths. If I voted for vaccine passports, I couldn’t live with the guilt. And there will be cause to regret it, so JUST SAY NO.

It's in the U.S. but worth a watch and following the outcome.
