Extraordinary + welcome return to rationality by Vaccines Minister today:"Mandating vaccinations is discriminatory & completely wrong. I, like @SteveBakerHW, urge businesses listening to this today not to even think about this. We've absolutely no plans for vaccine passports"
This major U-turn was confirmed during a Westminster Hall debate this evening in which an e-petition, signed by 300k+ people, urged the Government to prevent any restrictions on people who refuse to be vaccinated.
Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said he'd previously "misspoke".

In addition to @SteveBakerHW, Zahawi thanked @spectator + @talkRADIO for allowing him to 'explain' his position, & @ProfKarolSikora.
It followed Baker's strong case against implicit coercion:
"There can't possibly be ANY question of coercing people into taking the vaccine"

This return to rationality on vaccine restrictions is good for our rights, trust and public health.
Trusting and supporting people to make the right decisions to protect themselves + their communities is needed to restore public health + democracy alike. Thank you @nadhimzahawi
