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."

The @UKGovernmentEng needs to start listening more closely to the increasingly loud consensus around health passports. It's no time for getting caught between intention and inaction.

“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”

"If a system doesn't work for everyone, it doesn't work for anyone," says our our commercial director @ed_rayner.

“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_raynercomputerweekly.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.

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.

"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."

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.
