Will Vaccine Passports be America’s Version of Yellow Badges?
American Thinker ^ | 19 May, 2021 | Janet Levy

The vaccines are experimental yet the public is being coaxed into taking them.

With millions of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, a national debate now rages over “vaccine passports” (or vaxxports) that privilege those who have taken “the jab.” These proofs of immunization take the form of a smartphone app with a personalized QR code. Those favoring such digital certification say it makes us “safer” as a society and hastens a return to pre-pandemic normalcy. But critics liken it to China’s social scoring system (Social Credit System) aimed at rewarding those who conform and punishing those who don’t. They decry it as government overreach, invasion of privacy, and curtailment of personal freedom. They believe Americans shouldn’t be required to show proof of vaccination or reveal personal information to go about their daily lives. Anti-vaxxport protesters in California’s Orange County – who are on the frontlines in this battle – even had a placard saying "'Show Your Papers' is a Nazi Plan."

The Biden administration ushered in the vaxxport program deviously, freeing itself of accountability and letting private companies in tune with it to implement the agenda. The idea was floated as a trial balloon with a statement by White House press secretary Jen Psaki: “There will be no federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential.” But by adding that “the development of a vaccine passport, or whatever you want to call it, will be driven by the private sector,” Psaki admitted that the policy would be enforced by private companies.

The effort is spearheaded by the usual suspects – Microsoft, Oracle, the Commons Project (a Rockefeller Foundation-funded non-profit that is part of the World Economic Forum), and other corporations committed to global vaccination certification.

“Their project, the Vaccination Credential Initiative – a coalition of more than 300 healthcare and technology groups – is working on the upcoming implementation of a SMART health card that stores vital medical data, including vaccination records.”

I predict that most people will fall in line like the good little lemmings they are.

If it means someone’s life or livelihood, you are 100% correct. Few people will voluntarily die on any hill.

If one wants to invalidate their effort, simply say you are vaccinated and go about your business while mingling, maskless, with the vaccinated crackpots.

Have you any data on the clinical trials these vaccines underwent before being released to the public?

The left is salivating over the thought of mass mind control, cleverly disguised as an innocent “pass” that allows you “easier” entry into places.

1. I thought the vaccine was working, and so there is no need for a “vaccine passport.”
2. It’s not about easier entry. It’s about creating two classes of people, vaxxed and resisters. The vaxxed get special privileges. The resisters get excluded from the essentials of life.
3. It would bear the name “Vaccine” but be easily adaptable to ANY fiction that can be used as a means of control.
4. It would never go away. Once here, it integrates itself into daily life so it becomes indispensable.
5. Mysteriously, after a few months, it becomes known that it had implemented a form of social scoring, and no one claims to know anything about it.
6. Although the database is not a federal database, the federal spying agencies will have full access, just as they now do with facebook/google/twitter.

Yes, they are coming, likely in the form of an app.

September, November at the latest, following a surge which was ‘not supposed to happen’, warning of ‘a darkest winter’...

I sincerely hope that I’m tin-hat, but I see modus operandi in everything they’ve done. If Cuomo gets a pass, then all options are on the table, including more American deaths.

HIPAA does not cover medical information voluntarily disclosed by the person, even when the person discloses it under threat of denial of service or freedom.

Of course by not wearing a mask, the person is voluntarily disclosing the status of his vaccination.

In exercising the freedom of not wearing a mask, thus disclosing his vaccination status, the burden of proof shifts to the person, who then would be required to voluntarily prove his vaccination status.

It's the built-in Catch-22.

I predict massive noncompliance.

I'm already there.

I'm generally a by the book guy. Yes, I will occasionally drive or ride above the speed limit - but always with traffic so as not to become a rolling road block nor a menace weaving through traffic. I've also been known to "accidentally" miss a gun-free zone sign on a business or two that was perhaps not as conspicuous as it could have been. But I'm the guy that gives back the excess change when a cashier makes a mistake (yes I still use cash). I'm the guy that will pick up the item and hand it too you when your arms are full and you drop your keys etc. I'm the guy that'll return your shopping cart for you if I'm on the way in and you just finished loading your car.

But on this vaccine BS? I have no intention of complying. I've already "broken the rules" at work, and at businesses and will continue to do so. It is no-one else's damn business what my personal health choices are. If you're afraid, take precautions. But as the saying goes "You do you, and I'll do me." I won't tell you how to live your life, don't you dare try to tell me what to do.

There is no better immunity than if you had covid, and recovered. Vaccines are a distant 2nd place. Always has been; always will be.

If you had it and recovered, getting vaccinated is a BAD IDEA.

You can’t argue with success. Here’s the important data:
More than 274 million doses have been administered, fully vaccinating over 123 million people or 37.3% of the total U.S. population. On 17 May there were 29,387 cases reported. On 9 Jan there were over 250,000 cases reported. Down about 90%. Deaths are down from 4406 reported on 17 Jan to only 385 on 17 May. Down more than 90%.

FWIW, the Pfizer vaccine is expected to be fully APPROVED, not just AUTHORIZED, by the end of the year.

Despite the anti-vaxxer propaganda, there really isn’t any good reason to avoid the vaccines for the vast majority of people.
