It is “time to distinguish” between the freedoms afforded to those who have been vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus and those who haven’t, said former British prime minister Tony Blair.
A report from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change argues for the adoption of a global vaccine passport that would afford people more freedom if they have received a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus.
“The health pass needs to be usable both by national border authorities and other organisations within countries. It should also include the ability to demonstrate time-restricted testing status for those who aren’t able to be vaccinated,” the report said.
Blair’s think tank went on to say: “With this ability to securely prove vaccination status, we can align with other countries by removing certain restrictions for the fully vaccinated – thereby enabling us to sustainably reopen the economy.”
The report said domestic businesses in Britain should be able to only admit vaccinated people.
While the report claims that the “ultimate objective” should be the removal of coronavirus passports and the lifting of all restrictions, they argued that with most of the world remaining unvaccinated and the threats of emerging variants, health passes could be used to mitigate the need for economic shutdowns.
“It is time to distinguish for the purposes of freedom from restriction between the vaccinated and unvaccinated," Blair said.
Hinting that the government may be looking to adopt such a policy, a senior government source told the PA news agency: “Once again Mr Blair appears to have learned of things already in the pipeline and decided to publicly call for them.
In May of last year, Blair proudly announced he has teams “embedded in governments around the world“.
The think tank called for “dramatically increased technological surveillance” throughout the world, .

Looks like peasantry is making a comeback.
Poor ole Tony.
Still don’t know when to shut up.
If you have to have permission, it’s not freedom.
I have had the covid virus and I now have the antibodies. There is no more reason for me to get the vaccine than there is for me to get the mumps vaccine since I had it when I was 5.
Blair turned out to be such a globalist creep. He and Bush are such a disgrace.
They fail to discuss acquired immunity through having covid. No vaccination is as effective as having the disease.
I didn’t know he was still alive.
this has discrimination written all over it...
If I recall correctly, Blair got along well with Bush. After 9/11 they took charge to limit citizen’s freedoms instead of killing Muslims. Blair also opened the flood gates to Muslim immigration. So Blair, go eff off you globalist piece of schiff.
the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change?
Subtlety is not one of Tony’s strengths. His ridiculous Institute may just as well have been named ‘The Great Reset Propaganda Institute’.
Does ANYBODY ever even listen to Mr. Buttmunch, or take him seriously? Anyone?
That isn’t how you get or protect freedom.
In my state I’m supposed to have the vaccine to go sans mask. Nobody asks though. And nobody better ask me.
They want you (and all of us) to get it because there are items in that shot to track our movements and thoughts. I can see this happening in our lifetime.
Bush’s buddy speaks.
Another globalist murderer.
More like Nazi Germany. Reminds me of the Nazis making Jews wear a Star of David before they rounded them up to send to the camps. Is Blair going to have concentration camps for those who didn’t get the experimental shots?
