Boris Johnson Faces Rebellion on Vaccine Passports From Within Cabinet

The number of Tory MPs who say they will vote against the Government on vaccine passports has increased slightly to more than 50. Even more encouraging is that criticism of Boris Johnson’s plans is coming from within Cabinet, with one member saying: “It’s not who we are.” MailOnline has the story.

Mr Johnson is facing a fresh headache, with some of the opposition [to vaccine passports] reported to be coming from ministers in his own Cabinet, who believe the policy was “railroaded” through by Michael Gove.

One told the Times: “I’m not comfortable with the Government being able to use health information to cut off access to certain parts of society.

“This is the kind of thing that Dominic Cummings would endorse. It’s not who we are. Once you start doing these things where do you stop? We need to tread very carefully here. There are concerns across the cabinet about denying people their freedoms.’

Another added: “My concern is that this is destabilising the party. A carrot approach is far better than a stick approach. We shouldn’t be taking people’s liberties away, we should be encouraging them.”

Dominic Raab and Grant Shapps are among the senior members of the cabinet to praise businesses who have not allowed unvaccinated staff to return to the office, amid concerns the Government is encouraging a ‘jabs for jobs’ policy.

Experts have warned companies doing so may face legal action, with fears of a host of discrimination claims sparking calls for ministers to outlaw such policies. 

A worker who is forced to have a jab would be suffering an “intrusion” on their body, advice from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development claims.

As a result, firms “cannot forcibly vaccinate employees or potential employees” unless legally required to do so, according to the group, which represents HR professionals.

Care home staff is the only sector that so far is subject to mandatory Covid jabs, although reports suggest the Government has been looking in other areas too. …

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has also advised against blanket ‘No Jab, No Job’ policies, according to the Sun, particularly given medical reasons prevent some people from getting the vaccine.

But huge firms in the U.S., including Facebook and Google, have already insisted employees must probe [sic] they’ve received doses before going back to work.

I’m hoping this is the issue that forces Tory MP’s to wake up and realise just how far Johnson has pushed the envelope of overreach. This is an existential crisis. They must ask themselves: Are we Conservatives or Communists?

All of them, not most; if they weren’t they wouldn’t be MPs because the sheeple cannot think for themselves and are incapable of assessing the worth of independent candidates. As things are, with unqualified universal suffrage, membership of one of the big parties is a sine qua non for a political career, unless you wish to represent Brighton and Hove.

The people who vote for this will eventually be regarded and judged by history in the same vein as those who voted for the Jim Crow laws and for the Ermaechtigungsgesetz in 1933 or the Nuremberg Rassengesetz in 1935.
Their descendants will be ashamed of them forever.

Assuming this is true, which seems quite plausible, we know there are some in the cabinet who are not complete COVID lunatics. I think we can guess who. It’s a very small crumb of comfort, but it’s something

The interesting thing is that all pretence that any of what they are doing is now “following the science” has gone out of the window. The debate is purely political. Of course we know it has been political since the start

CDC study shows 74% of people infected in Massachusetts Covid outbreak were fully vaccinated. Vaccinations are ineffective and unsafe. Vaccine passports serve no purpose when the vaccinated are the main carriers of covid.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/30/cdc-study-shows-74percent-of-people-infected-in-massachusetts-covid-outbreak-were-fully-vaccinated.html

Just been researching the vax passport exemptions. It’s wide open. You can self-declare your exemption and no one is allowed to ask for proof. Same as the masks.

It’s bizarre.

JayBee

Reply to  KidFury

Some questions arise:
Does this thereby extend to tests, as it should, and if so, which ones (not)?
What are the international/travelling implications (tests, quarantines, inbound, outbound, acceptance of health passport abroad vs non acceptance of UK exemption abroad)?
Does this provide a way out from ‘no jab, no job’?
Does this provide a way out for care workers and all others where vaccination was or might still be mandated by a separate law?
If the health passport isn’t demanded as proof but the vaccination (document) itself, as likely in the case of private employers, does the same self-exemption option apply (as with masks, otherwise they’d have to formulate their own exemption rules, which must not run foul of the disability act)?
Is it in danger of becoming abolished and changed, or is this watertight for good, due to being based upon and due to common law?
I am sure that there is more, but certainly, this is the best news in quite a while.

I doubt that it will be left as open as the masks thing, especially for international travel and abroad, but even if it is, we’re not safe and we cannot rest until the whole concept and the Big Lie that is behind it is exposed for the evil nonsense it is.
Ideally, people whether they are vaxxed or unvaxxed should simply refuse to take part in any such arrangements. But I can understand people who do, for personal reasons – it won’t be easy for all to opt out.

But just as with the masks, it’ll create a nasty, confrontational atmosphere which causes people to just think ‘fuck it’ and not bother to go to places where they might get challenged. And it’ll be the same as masks with jobsworths demanding “proof”.

Doublethink has a specific purpose: it destroys the ability to think rationally.

The CDC is actually up to triplethink now:

Vaccine passports are needed to segregate the diseased from the pure.
and
Vaccines protect the pure from the diseased.
and
Muzzles are needed to protect the pure from the pure.

If you can believe all those things are true at once, then your social credit score will remain intact, for now. If you feel a twinge of cognitive dissonance, best keep it to yourself.

Another added: “My concern is that this is destabilising the party. A carrot approach is far better than a stick approach. We shouldn’t be taking people’s liberties away, we should be encouraging them.”

So in short:

  1. The biggest concern of Conservative MPs is the wellbeing of the Conservative Party, not the wellbeing of the country
  2. Their concern about vaccine passports is not the principle, it’s not that they are worried about people being forced to undergo a risky medical procedure in return for being able to live a normal life. No, it’s just the way they are being introduced. They would prefer people to be persuaded using a variety of underhand psychological techniques to voluntarily give up their God-given rights, rather than government take them away explicitly.

And there we have it. The gaping moral vacuum at the heart of the Conservative Party.

Not that the Labour Party is any better.

We need the old Establishment to be dissolved, preferably with nitric acid, and a new Establishment put in its place. One that serves the country, not itself.

Yep. same with Labour MP’s, by and large too, as you say. Toe the party line, be good boys & girls, because they’re thinking about their long term political future. Now there is an inherit flaw in this method, which may be worth reminding your MP of because I feel many will have overlooked — the flaw is, it depends upon the party remaining in existence long enough, so that said spineless waste of space MP can realize their future vision!

When the AFP/Guardian are reporting over 200000 are on the streets of France, you know its more than 2million. When they say the protests are growing, you know they are becoming scared!
And when they try to say that out of that under 15000 were in Paris, you know they are lying and are becoming very scared!

What a sad shambles of a government. Here they are, talking about forcing people to undergo unwanted and unnecessary medical procedures, and all the Tories could muster were 50 dissenters… wow…

Speaking of which, imagine the precedent. Imagine if instead of a vaccine we were talking about double D cup sizes. “The Prime Minister has announced today that all women must now have at least a double D cup size in order to qualify for the new boob passport. The PM has further encouraged all large venues, as well as pubs and restaurants, to check everyone’s boob passport and not allow any woman on the premises with a cup size smaller than a double D.” I wonder if people would still be like: “Look, a boob job is harmless. Besides, no one is forcing you to do it. It’s your choice that you don’t want to be allowed into pubs or restaurants…”

It doesn’t bother Boris anyway – he knows Labour will support it so the party rebels are worthless.

The complete and utter lack of *any* formal opposition party means he can do whatever the hell he wants.

If those 50MPs felt strongly enough the one thing they could do that would force Boris into listening would be send a letter to the 1922 asking for a leadership contest.
They wont though – they don’t want to lose the cushy job and perks.

Just watched the health minister of NewSouth Wales going through a ‘scare-um’ list of cases, hospitalisations, intensive care admissions, and ventilated patients, he ended up with the admission that all except one were double vaccinated, the one was only single vaccinated.
All those double vaccinated would get a uk vaccine passport.
Not only that but where breakthrough cases are identified by rtPCR tests ct is <20 so the have high viral load a.k.a. they are highly infectious.
The only reason to give a health passport is if it indicates the holder is not infectious.
