One of those fancy QR (or is it QT) codes will be more appropriate.

Have to admit this doesn't rest easy with me, and before any of you start, no I'm not a covid denying anti-vaccer. Yes the government and other agencies already know a lot about us and our movements through use of technology, however having to show a card/certificate to gain access to whatever building offering whatever service seems a step too far for me. I also wonder if we're jumping the gun. Hopefully, if the vaccine project delivers, combined with the majority of people being careful with social distancing etc, the risk will continue to diminish over 2021 into 2022. At that stage covid will hopefully be in a managed phase, possibly including an annual vaccine similar to flu. So if that all comes to fruition, and yes I admit it's still a big if, surely we don't need to be considering things like a covid passport for access to UK buildings/services?
Conversely, I could see a more justifiable argument for this if covid was showing no signs of being brought under control and if vaccines weren't yet available.
Yes, I had to show ID to get into pubs/clubs 30+ years ago, however I don't fancy having to prove I've been jabbed, to me they're different scenarios. And as others have touched on, if this happens wait for the announcement that company x (no doubt with links to one or more government ministers) has been awarded a humungous contract to deliver the tech to ensure presented passports are legitimate.

It won't be a card or certificate though, will it?
It will be a digital device also monitoring everywhere you go without the choice to leave it at home.
This is precisely the thing 'doubters' (conspiracy theorists if you wish) have been worried about all along and thinking is the real purpose of all the so-called lockdowns and other OTT measures.

Not a problem for me. Would that be a problem for you?

It's the same here.
Well, they did say they wouldn’t consider it until everybody has been offered a vaccine. I suspect by that time, any coward that won’t have a vaccination would have packed up and left the country.
Sorry ignore that, nothing to see here, move along please.
This assertion is often made when discussing laws and associated policies. If you're doing nothing wrong, why worry? I don't subscribe to that. I'm a law abiding citizen, however that doesn't mean I'd happily accept measures such as this.
I see it as pretty much the same need for proof. Don't forget some of us oldies are being asked for proof of age, when accepting delivery of certain things from places like Amazon. Now how daft is that?
I have not anything about it being a digital device, rather it would be some sort of certificate. Who really cares about being tracked anyway, certainly not me.
