But on the other side of the coin everybody thought that Thalidomide etc was safe. People are going to have to weigh up the risks and downsides of whether to have the vaccination or not on an individual basis,

The article suggests the app could be used for verification. The venues may want to put health before wealth, but may ultimately be forced to abandon this strategy for economic reasons.

What if employers insist on their employees having the vaccination to try and keep their premises Covid free and some decide that they don't want it? What if they then need to claim benefits? It's going to be a legal minefield.
