It has been announced today by Grant Schapps, the UK Transport Secretary, that the UK will be introducing it's digital passports via the NHS App in time for international travel. (Source: Sky News)

To action this, the existing NHS App, rather than the NHS COVID App, is going to be used to display your vaccination status and/or proof of a negative test result.

Now, having got the app myself because I am just a little bit dim, it goes though the process to register that you would expect. Add your unique NHS number, for security reasons, give permission for them to access your location, phone calls, microphone and camera....

Am I the only one that is a bit worried about this? Now me, I have already blocked access to my phone, location and microphone (not that I suspect that actually changes much) but moreso if you want to go abroad you will have to install the app.....

Why do they need access to your microphone, location maybe......in Aotearoa we have a covid scan app that we are meant to scan in when entering a shop for which you need your bluetooth on this also tracks your movements, but I dont think it has access to ph microphone......I think. Maybe the location thing is so they can track you down for your next 6 monthly covid vaccine....

This is not the app which was developed for the COVID response, this is the long-standing app which in theory you can use to book appointments at your local doctors (GP or General Practitioner in the UK), review your medical records and re-order repeat prescriptions.

Certainly my GP does not subscribe to booking direct through the app, to view any letters attached to your records (like specialists adding reports to your file via your doctor) you need to be on the web browser version to view, and repeat prescriptions are hit and miss.... but it still needs all that access.

Nah. Standard protocol mate. Any time I want to freely move about the country or feel the need to go to a sporting event or concert, I just whip this thing right out.

See, in order to comply with the draconian and baffling directives given by our Covid overlords, I simply just need to turn over every aspect of my life (past, present, and future preferred) in order to get on with it.

For instance. Any bank account. Video game. Slurpee purchase. Political donations. Alcohol. Tobacco. Guns. Cigarettes. Weed. School. Church . Workplace or anything outside of my living quarters may become subject to infection from yours truly.

Thus the need for constant supervision and scrutiny.

Not to mention it tracks your online movement too.

This is to combat Covid too somehow.

Pretty sure.

Viruses can infect computers too ya know! Geez!

I endorse making sure the government tracks me and every phone call or text I make to would be lovers or terrorists.

Maybe just family, who knows?

Better just to keep tabs to make sure.

In any event I’m sure this is fine and nothing nefarious or sinister will come about this at all.

Pretty sure.

I suggest every single person in the country send an e-mail to Boris every morning at 8am every day, detailing yesterday's adventures and today's plans.

Let's see, exactly, how much "data" they can cope with.

Personally I wouldn't say too much more as it may affect your pre-assessed social credit score, and won't they be equitable ..... LOL.

Access to location,camera,mic,phone calls..
What possible reason will they come up with that reassures me this is not an over reaching surveillance application?
No reason at all.
Because there is no good reason for an app which shows if I have had a vaccine to need any such data.

More proof the pandemic has been hijacked by those who have for many years wanted the "free world" to become a replica of Xinjiang,China.

They are trying to fool us into believing we need to be under total surveillance in order to "get our freedom back."

This is a poisioned chalice.

No chalice.

Just poisoned poison. With a side order of toxic, creepy, snooping.

All this digital passport talk smacks of the CCP and the social credit score, rewards for what your masters want you to submit to. Time is fleeting

Both here and abroad....

VACCINATION PASSPORTS: Ushering China’s Social Credit System into America – Biden Simply a “Placeholder” President Waiting for the CCP to Come to Power in America


Under the CCP’s social credit system, “‘bad’ behavior lowers a person’s score and can make it difficult for them to buy, sell, travel, get loans or send their children to college. ‘Very bad’ behavior, such as political dissent, can get someone and their family members blacklisted, making it difficult for them to function in society,” Green writes.

Chinese Communists have created a unified record system to allow the government to track individuals and businesses and assess their trustworthiness


Don't go quietly into the night....

Hmmmmmmm.

So Winnie the Pooh and various other "animals of the forest" should now be referred to collectively as Big Brother.

For your safety, of course.

I know but it would be great fun to live stream my morning poop for him to make sure I'm not exposed to any unnecessary risks.

I would be willing to wear a mask.

Are they just assuming everyone has a smartphone? I for one don't. I have an old Nokia. What then? Will I need, papers? Papers please, now where have I heard that before...

That's OK.

The desperate need for control will necessitate the purchase, by the taxpayer, of millions of "Rona-Phones" .

Because that's just what the economy wants right now.

Looks like it's the equivalent of the ManageMyHealth app in NZ so they'll record the jab on there and you'll have to show them it before travelling. That app is antiquated and spoofed with screenshots so I think Billy Goots will say 'Hey I've got an app and will keep your data safe' and the taxpayer will pay for it in the name of 'getting all kiwis better access to the care they need' . Merging of DHB's, announcing a new Maori health initiative...the switch can't be far off.

In the immortal words of Nancy Reagan, "Just say no."

We really do create the bars of our own prisons by apathetic consent.
