The UK plans to issue coronavirus ‘immunity passports’ so people can leave the lockdown early
- The UK plans to roll out “immunity passports” to allow people who have contracted COVID-19 to leave the lockdown early.
- UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the certificates would be issued to people who have built up immunity to the coronavirus so they can return to “normal life.”
- Citizens would need to test positive in an antibody test before being issued with the certificates.
- However, the UK has yet to identify a reliable test for antibodies to the virus.

Oh this is just rich….still no reliable test.
Recently, this came out: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/04/coronavirus-testing-kits-heading-to-the-uk-found-to-be-contaminated-with-covid-19/
I’ve stated before that I believe my whole family had COVID-19 back in January. As I talk with people, they too feel they’ve already had it. It would be nice to test for it just to know – but the tests, similarly with Lyme disease, are completely worthless. This is probably one of the hardest things for patients wanting a piece of paper to understand. Unfortunately we live in a world where pieces of paper confer validation.
If we break this down logically; however, the same that is true for Lyme/MSIDS is true for COVID-19 and that is you look at symptoms and go from there. But some will say, but COVID-19 is novel (new) and we need to be more worried about it. Do we? Who says? Remember, Coronaviruses are an ever present part of the seasonal flu cycle and constitute 10-15% of the yearly flu.
The top article, along with many others, points to a more frightening future – and I’m not even talking about viruses:
Key Quote:
Gerard Krause, the epidemiologist leading the project, told the magazine that people who are immune “could be given a type of vaccination card that, for example, allows them to be exempted” from “restrictions on their work.”
We’ve heard about this type of certificate before: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/02/us-govt-johnson-johnson-prep-for-1-billion-coronavirus-vaccine-doses-implantable-tattoos-google-app-to-monitor-people/
Germany’s come out in favor of this as well: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/04/germany-could-issue-thousands-of-people-coronavirus-immunity-certificates-so-they-can-leave-the-lockdown-early/
