The Daily Sceptic reminds us that although in abeyance (at least in the UK) they have not gone away (not even in the UK) and especially not in Europe.
"Italy’s government has used its iteration of the Green Pass to effectively ban almost four million people from being able to earn a living"
"In Austria the government locked down around two million people for not being vaccinated, before relenting five days later and locking down everyone else"
" ... the EU has already launched a digital wallet that will be used to store peoples’ surnames, first names, dates and place of birth, gender or nationality, as well as enable Europeans to identify themselves online. This is part and parcel of the digital identity revolution being spearheaded by organisations like the World Economic Forum, Gavi, and ID2020"
I note that our government has been somewhat tardy in deregulating the UK from the EU's "red tape".
Even so, our rules and regulations are no longer automatically updated by new EU riles and regs, so in theory we escape such things as government backed digital ids.
Until our government follows the EU's lead.
"One of the companies involved in the development of the U.K.’s COVID-19 vaccine passport, the U.S. IT firm Entrust, said that the vaccine passport system could also be “redeployed” as a national ID card"
If we are to live with Covid like we lived with the flu, why do we need a vaccine passport anyway?
Not for the first time, our government's actions seem to belie its words, and something does not add up.
