Vaccine Passports, Covid’s Next Political Flash Point
The New York Times by msn ^ | 4 hrs ago | Max Fisher

Posted on 03/02/2021 2:09:49 PM PST by conservative98

The next major flash point over coronavirus response has already provoked cries of tyranny and discrimination in Britain, protests in Denmark, digital disinformation in the United States and geopolitical skirmishing within the European Union.

The subject of debate: vaccine passports — government-issued cards or smartphone badges stating that the bearer has been inoculated against the coronavirus.

The idea is to allow families to reunite, economies to restart and hundreds of millions of people who have received a shot to return to a degree of normalcy, all without spreading the virus. Some versions of the documentation might permit bearers to travel internationally. Others would allow entry to vaccinated-only spaces like gyms, concert venues and restaurants.

While such passports are still hypothetical in most places, Israel became the first to roll out its own last week, capitalizing on its high vaccination rate. Several European countries are considering following. President Biden has asked federal agencies to explore options. And some airlines and tourism-reliant industries and destinations expect to require them.

Oh please, these passports have been in the works since before anyone had ever heard of COVID.

Whats the alternative? Don’t we get some sort of receipt when we get the vaccine? Shouldn’t that be adequate?

Isn’t that explicitly unconstitutional?

Bottom line: there is no reason for vaccine passports.

If one wants to get vaccinated, one can.

Non-vaccinated travelers cannot make vaccinated sick.

End of debate.

But.... minorities and the poor don’t even know how to get a drivers license to vote. How will they do this?

“”all without spreading the virus.””

Yay - a piece of paper will do that!! They know bupkis about the effectiveness of any of the vaccines - the same lack of valid information they’ve spread about the virus itself. That’s been “here today - gone tomorrow” information!

Undocumented aliens. Documented Covid shots. Makes perfect sense.

No documentation to vote.

Documentation to travel!

“Non-vaccinated travelers cannot make vaccinated sick”

The problem is that statement is untrue.

If vaccines do not protect people from contracting an illness from an infected person, please explain their utility.

If someone vaccinated is exposed, the viral load will die off in your body because the original virus won’t replicate and harm healthy tissue.

If someone vaccinated gets exposed they can pass on that virus to others while the original virus still lives.

So, we need to wear masks and minimize contact.

“The problem is that statement is untrue.”

you are almost correct, as the vaccinated person can still get covid, but supposedly not experience as bad of side effects once vaccinated, but it is also true that vaccinated persons can transmit the virus to others.

so then what is the point of this SARS-Cov2 [aka COVID-19] vaccine? are other vaccines similarly ineffective?

i believe that if you get the polio vaccination as a child you can’t get polio. also what is the point of vaccinating young children for measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis,and typhoid, if they can get the disease later ??
