Exclusive: Tony Blair calls on Boris Johnson to lead drive for global vaccine passport
Tony Blair has called on the Government to establish a single global vaccine passport scheme through the G7, or risk others dictating the rules.
In a detailed report published by the Tony Blair Institute (TBI), he said current border restrictions were disjointed and urged the UK to place the creation of a global Covid-19 travel pass as a key item on the G7 agenda – a body which Britain currently leads.
The report added that the much tougher international travel restrictions announced on Wednesday by the Prime Minister would be much more difficult to eventually unwind without a vaccine passport.
Mr Blair said the passport should be digital and capable of tracking and verifying an individual s coronavirus status wherever they travel in the world. Included would be details of any vaccination they had, together with the results of Covid-19 test results.
Strikes me as a horrible idea.
