On a subject intimately related to vaccine refusal: > **[Covid-19: PM promises review on issues of vaccine passports](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56169616)** > > Having to show a certificate to go to a pub raises "deep and complex issues", Boris Johnson says. The UK government has been saying from the get-go that they would not introduce “vaccine passports” (“No vaccine passport? No pub or restaurant for you!”, as I put it in post #133). Now, not so much. > **There are “deep and complex issues” with using vaccine passports or certificates to prove someone’s Covid “status”, Boris Johnson has said.** > > Announcing a review of the proposal, he said using certificates to allow visits to venues such as pubs and theatres was a “novelty for our country”… > > …Vaccine passports have been discussed by countries, including Greece, and operators such as Saga Cruises, as a way to safely reopen international leisure travel. The issue ties into this thread because vaccine passports are an obvious way to persuade people to vaccinate - if you are not willing to contribute to a return to normal life, why should you be allowed to partake in that return to normal life, and by doing so increase risk of harm for others? Yeah, I know it’s complicated - but the ethical arguments are for another thread, if someone cares to start one. j --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vaccine-refuser-data-thread/929542)._
