BLOK features in this excellent article on @MedicalTechMag on how #digitalhealth passports can be ethical, inclusive and private while providing the functionality to allow society to safely open up - but they "need to be built that way from the ground up." medicaldevice-network.com/fe…

Great to see our client @Blok_BioScience talking to The @Independent about the need for #digitalhealth passports to be non-discriminatory, privacy-focused and secure. BLOK Pass is @ID2020 certified for meeting the highest technical and ethical standards. independent.co.uk/travel/new…

“We think it will become part of the evidence to travel,” [@ed_rayner, BLOK's commercial director] says. “If you haven’t got a vaccine, you can take a test. We want it to be non-discriminatory, with multiple ways for you to able to get on that flight” independent.co.uk/travel/new…

“We know that there is some apprehension about the idea of vaccine passports, which is why it is so important that great consideration is given as to which do the best job of addressing the public’s concerns around data privacy and ethics, -- @ed_rayner computerweekly.com/news/2524…
The UK Government’s plans to require holidaymakers to ask their GP for a paper vaccine certificate may encourage fraud, overburden GPs and patients and would be unlikely to be accepted as attested proof by many more forward-thinking nations. blokbioscience.com/article/5…

The UK gov's opposition to #vaccinepassports spells doom for sectors such as entertainment. The unfounded fear of a "2-tier society" ignores the reality of suffering businesses. Denying people the CHOICE to use tools to reopen safely is a huge mistake. thetimes.co.uk/article/boris…
The first comment at this story by The Independent has nailed it. "Two weeks ago, Nadhim Zahawi said the UK government wasn’t looking at vaccine passports and within twenty-four hours it turned out it was." independent.co.uk/travel/new… 1/3

"Whether it’s a passport, a certificate of if its tattooed on our foreheads what we very obviously need is evidence of having a full vaccination against #Covid and its variants so life can get back to some sort of normal." -- Austin-Healey, commenter. 3/3
It's great that segments of the @UKgove government seem to understand the urgency of having standards for a #privacy-preserving #digitalidentity. @mattwarman should be praised & maybe help his colleagues in leading the way with a digital #healthpassport. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

The refusal by the @UKGovernmentEng to accept the need for a universally accepted, standardised electronic health pass with proof of #vaccination is a major flaw in an increasingly connected world. The country now has a choice: to lead, or to be led. bbc.co.uk/news/55970801
