A Conservative MP has called for mandatory coronavirus vaccination certificates distributed by the Army that will determine whether people will be allowed to travel internationally.
During a debate in the British Parliament last night, MP Tobias Ellwood urged the Prime Minister to have the British Armed Forces oversee that COVID-19 vaccination roll out process.
Noting that a coronavirus vaccine was potentially six months away, Ellwood said, “Mass vaccine roll out is an enormous responsibility and we need to get it right.”
Ellwood said he had written to Boris Johnson urging him to give the power to a Ministry of Defence task force to ship the vaccines across the country and set up regional distribution hubs as well as developing a “national database to track progress and issue the vaccination certificates.”

The MP said the vaccination certificates “will probably have to be internationally recognized in order to allow travel, international travel.”
Ellwood went on to make it clear that people who take the vaccine will see their lives return to normality while those who don’t will still be “subject to social distancing rules.”
The prospect of denying basic rights of mobility and travel to people who refuse to take a vaccine for personal, religious or medical reasons is shaping up to be a human rights minefield.
A poll conducted by King’s College London (KCL) and Ipsos Mori last month found that only 53% of Brits would be “certain” or “likely” to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
One in six said they would definitely not get a vaccine or that it would be very unlikely. When extrapolated out to the population, this equates to 11 million people who, if Ellwood’s advice is taken, will be denied travel and treated like second class citizens.

Didn’t all of us except the fearpers call this months ago?
I suppose many of the fearpers did, too, but were happy about it.
What a shame AIDS wasn’t attacked this aggressively. It might never have spread to normal people.
Trump has said something very similar to having our military oversee our vaccination roll out too.
It turns out that Hitler did not need to invade the UK in order to bring a Nazi Adminisration to those islands. The Conservative Party is doing it all by themselves.

Just the logistics/distribution.
I hope that fellow FReeper who don’t want the vaccine won’t get it, whatever the penalty.
I won’t get it.
I just don’t want to be the only sucker at the camp :)
The “camp” part is only half joking...maybe not even half.
I wonder if Bill Gates has thought of this. Great way to implement his tracking injected DNA scheme (patented).
Won’t happen...airlines will not support something that will impact their bottom line...people who don’t get the vaccine won’t fly...lessens the numbers of potential customers.
And if Trump loses the election, all that planning falls into whose hands?
Fine. I’ll spend my considerable travel dollars elsewhere. All this for something with a 99% recovery rate.
The land of George Orwell strikes again...
Perhaps “conservative” means something different in the UK?
Dont get me wrong, I am pro-vaccine. Due to my international travels, I have more vaccines than the vast majority. But I want them to be the decision of the individual, not some bureaucrat.
Get a rope.
Does “Conservative” have a different meaning in the UK?
What about when it happens in the US?
Yes, but the Conservative Party is to the right of the Liberal Party.
At some point, everyone is going to need to fight back against this tyranny.
Meanwhile, healthy geezers and younger folks in Britain can’t get flu shots because there are not enough vaccinations to go around.
