OUR BODIES, OUR SELVES

This week, the UK Parliament voted by an overwhelming majority to renew the Coronavirus Act, giving the government wartime powers to pass laws without going through Parliament – or indeed allowing any sort of independent debate.

This doesn’t seem to make sense. Cases and deaths from Covid have fallen precipitously in the UK. Some 40 percent of the UK population have now been vaccinated, about a third of the population have been exposed to it in all forms and 80 percent don’t get a bad reaction when they do get it.

There seems to be light at the end of this long, dark tunnel. You would think we were heading toward some sort of herd immunity and that it might be time to open up the country, which has been in total lockdown since before Christmas.

Nevertheless, the latest government announcement, thanks to their scientific advisers, is that it’s unlikely we’ll be able to travel outside the country this summer.

But this latest move by the British government – and increasingly, by governments around the world – is, to my mind, more worrying than the nastiest of nasty coronaviruses.

Although I’m using the UK as an example, largely because I live there, this is happening in countries around the world in some form or another.

Now that the UK government has a new mandate to essentially do what it likes, what’s flying up the flagpole now are the ideas about vaccine passports: for entering pubs or to sports arenas or theaters, for attending business conferences and weddings, to be allowed to go to work and, of course, to be able to travel anywhere outside the country.

The same is happening in the US. As Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, told ABC News: ‘Whether it’s school, entertainment venues or travel, there’s going to be an expectation that to resume these activities you have to be retested and enter quarantine or produce proof of immunization.”
