Moderna have started their trial on their variant vaccine.

At the moment Covid is surging across the world but at last vaccine supply is beginning to become more visible. What were national governments doing for the 12 months that it took to develop the vaccines?

It seems to me that the same variants keep arising independently across the world which is quite encouraging because it means that the number of viable forms of the virus is limited and its predicable but its mutation of the existing variants that could create a problem. I particularly do not like the look of that surge in India given that a couple of months ago there was evidence that they were close to herd immunity in some cities.

Well yes, fake details is one thing, till an undercover cop checks your ID against the manifest let's say. Write your real details down and watch an unscrupulous individual text it to his mates to do a hit on your address whilst he can see you sat in the pub.

It's the principle.

That sounds massively far-fetched.

What ID are you talking about anyway? You don't need to carry compulsory ID in the UK and I couldn't see anything in the BBC article that said you had to show ID if you couldn't download the app.
 
Conspiracy theories always make me think of the Mitchell & Webb sketches on conspiracies. At the end it all boils down to “why?” - why would all the worlds governments conspire to fuck their counties/economies due to some “fake” virus so that they can... collect dna of their citizens?? (They could do this for the majority of people without manufacturing a pandemic) Drug their citizens?? Again, why?
Also how are China, the UK, USA, Russia, etc all suddenly on the same team in this conspiracy. And how are so many people involved without info leaks.

Practicaly, conspiracies don’t work
The whole of humanity is pitted against the virus but state power is not neutral.
 
to protect people from spreading the virus, give workers and others ease of mind that everyone in close proximity has been vaccinated
Can do that by opening when it's safe with no restriction on freedoms. Otherwise you're telling me it's not safe so are wilfully risking people's lives and pretending an app or piece of paper will stop it. It won't. It's just a freedom grab, pushing the boundaries to see what they can take away from a re-opened society and get away with.

but what benefit is that to the Government ? it will no doubt cost billions, so i don't see what they would achieve in having people show an app in a Pub.

No but I want to know what's fueling the surge in India. In Europe, there's an explanation. UK variant, and it's entirely consistent with what we know. Unless the testing has changed significantly, it looks like it's growing in India faster than it did hitherto.
