Apparently the UK has about 94% of the adult population injected with antibodies which is far higher than the level required to have herd immunity.
Simple question, why would the country (or any country) want to impose the population carry valid Covid passports ?

I think before diving into the issue of covid passports you’d need to start by examining what the 94% is an actual percentage of ( over 18’s ? Over 12?s whole population, whatever) and then how that relates to the percentage of the whole population that you need to be vaccinated to hopefully achieve herd immunity.
There have been some very very high percentages chucked around in some parts of the MSM without any qualification….never forget 47% of statistical facts are made up.

94% sounds incredibly high to me, what was the source of that figure out of interest?

OK the 94% figures are for adults.
From google search:
"The data shows that: 21.3% of the overall population of England and Wales was aged under 18 years, 29.5% was aged 18 to 39 years, 26.7% was aged 40 to 59 years, and 22.5% was aged 60 years and over."
So the percentage for the whole population will be less than 94. How much less will depend on how many under 18s have the antibodies, which I suspect is quite high.
There must be factors other than antibodies going on as people are still getting covid. The virus can still mutate and can still be carried by those with antibodies of course.

Wow, OK thats impressive, re passports, dont forget this govermnent is obsessed with tracking and spying on us, I'm sure any passport venue info will go via them, I really cant see the need for it for any other reason, aspecially as those figures will ony get higher as more people catch it, and more people are vaccinated |

Simple question, why would the country (or any country) want to impose the population carry valid Covid passports ? That is of course not what it says. It says that these people have antibodies either from injections or from having contracted the virus 6m and counting although we don't know how many of those are adults. |

It also says: "The length of time antibodies remain at detectable levels in the blood is not fully known."
That is of concern to those who assume that vaccination is going to make everything all right.

Speaking as a vaccinated person I do not wish to have antivax idiot sitting next to me in an enclosed space, just because I have been vaccinated it does not stop me contracting Covid19 I agree a vaccinated person can pass on the virus but to a lesser degree than you |

Apparently not. JSKS has been warning of this from a medical view and I have been sceptical from a statistical view. Now it seems higher minds agree. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/coronavirus/herd-immunity-not-a-possibility-with-delta-variant-says-vaccines-expert/ar-AANahBX?ocid=msedgntpEvidence is also emerging which suggests that an infected person who has been vaccinated is just as capable of passing on the virus as a non-vaccinated one. Vaccine passes will help slow the spread of infection but even they alone are not a solution. |
