      UK citizens born before 1972 will be immunised at 85% even today due to the smallpox Vaccines given out back then. Please do not let this hype poisen peoples minds. this is a situation should not be blown out of all proposions. In any event a fully “Licenced” Vaccine is available to people requiring such, and NO need for a Digital “Monkey Pass” to be invented.
