they will have to show proof of double vaccination to go to lectures, to even stay in their halls of residence. now, that has been looked at, i m told that does not have been shelved, that particular idea. we don t quite know why. certainly there has been a big backlash to idea of the widespread use of vaccine passports among conservative mps. they leader of the house of commons jacob rees mogg is saying last night that that is not the end of the idea of a vaccine passports but we should protect our ancient freedoms. a sense that people are instinctively uneasy about having to show papers to get in anywhere, but if that is a price worth paying to protect people s public health that is something people might be able to accept. certainly on university campuses it sounds like this
it will allow more people to get vaccinations. so he was asked on what basis, what scientific basis was the date of august 7 chosen? we ve been talking to scientists throughout the 18 months of this pandemic on a very regular basis. it s not the date that is driving it, it s the principle of double vaccination. the idea, as welsh labour have put forward, that if you are double vaccinated, you don t have to isolate if you have been in contact with someone, as is automatically the rule at the moment. at the moment, we ve got hundreds of thousands of people a week isolating, and you can see the chaos that that s causing. now, interestingly, of course, if this is all about double vaccination, rather than dates, well, there are certain people in his own party, and there are certainly plenty of conservative mps saying, why not simply end self isolation right now? that s something keir starmer hasn t called for. his answer is simply that it will take time for changes to be introduced and this
