As we continue to debate the wisdom or fairness of establishing a system of immunity passports allowing the vaccinated to return to normal life while the rest are left behind, one curious aspect of these proposed systems is coming to light. The New York Post editorial board points us to a few observations from Dominic Green at Spectator USA. One thing we know about the rollout of COVID vaccinations across the country is that white people are being vaccinated at significantly higher per capita rates than Blacks or Hispanics. Whether this is a result of greater rates of vaccine hesitancy among minorities or uneven distribution of the vials as they become available is a matter you are free to debate. But the underlying numbers haven’t changed. Black people in particular are being vaccinated more slowly than whites. That means that significantly fewer Black people will be qualified to receive immunity passports and will be denied access to many public events as society continues to reopen. So doesn’t that mean that vaccine passports are… racist?
At Spectator USA, Dominic Green takes aim at the drive to establish “vaccine passports” to, for example, “exclude the unvaccinated from attending sporting events.” Crucially, “the unvaccinated are disproportionately poor and non-white. So they would suffer most from vaccine-based exclusions. In functional terms, mandatory vaccination passports would be the Jim Eagle of class and race discrimination.” An administration obsessed with things like minority voting rights “is floating a proposal to bureaucratically disenfranchise black people. This is incoherent, knee-jerk control-freakery.” It leaves you “feeling that we’re governed by fools.”
If that sounds like buffoonery to you, you’ve probably been paying attention to everything else that the radical left has been trying to lecture us about for years. But that’s how this game is played in the 21st century, right? If something impacts communities of color in a statistically greater fashion than white communities, then it has to be racist by definition. We’ve been assured of this repeatedly. So turning away larger numbers of Black fans wishing to attend the next Knicks game in New York City because they can’t qualify for an Excelsior Pass is an example of the state government enacting racist policies. Don’t try to argue about this, Democrats. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
This is the same as saying the war on drugs is racist because arrests take place disproportionately in communities of color. You’ve heard people saying the same thing about traffic tickets. But now we’re talking about something that actually matters. The federal government is working on taking immunity passports to the national level after they’ve already been put in place in New York State. And if you don’t have one, you are going to be out of luck when it comes to participating in many nonessential activities or being able to get on a plane or any form of public transportation.
Even if you manage to get on a plane, if your destination is Sin City, you may find yourself out in the cold when you arrive. Yes, immunity passports are already being set up in Las Vegas.
Health service company Reviv Global has launched its Heliix Health Passport in Las Vegas. The mobile app uses an encrypted code to show the results of a recent COVID-19 test, and could be implemented at hospitality venues such as restaurants, conventions, nightclubs and shows.Julia Miles, Reviv’s commercial operations director, said the company is in “extended talks” with a number of major Las Vegas hotel-casino operators. So far, conversations have focused largely around using the technology to make sure resort or convention guests have recently tested negative for COVID-19 at one of Reviv’s local testing centers.
The Reviv system that’s taking shape in Vegas is at least slightly better than some of the others. If you haven’t been vaccinated you can go to one of their centers and pay to have a COVID test done. If you produce a negative result, you can rent an immunity passport for a couple of days. If you’re staying longer, you’ll need to go back and be retested periodically. That’s a major pain in the neck, but it’s better than being locked out entirely. Of course, we would expect Las Vegas to take a more reasonable approach because it’s one of the most capitalist cities in the world. They don’t want to shut out large numbers of people who are waiting to enter the casinos and lose all of their money.
In any event, this is where things stand today. If our nation’s elected officials want to try to make this a permanent part of “the new normal,” we need to be storming the gates (figuratively) during the next election cycle. This is not freedom. This is not American. This is simply tyranny.
The dems were responsible for the last Jim Crow crap.
Unconstitutional for sure.
Racist? Everything is.
Covid is racist (statistical report showed three times as many blacks come down with it than any other race).
Vax program is racist (Several politicians claimed the shots should be withheld from whites and given to persons of color because the P.O.C’s were already lifelong victims of toxic systemic white racism and deserve a chance over others.”
Maybe the vaccine itself is racist. Molecules in there are secretly anti-black. Louis Farrakhan said AIDS was invented in a lab to murder blacks in genocide. He should go on a task force to look into the vax./s
Racism is racist.
Hey if thats what its going to take to derail this terrible idea, then I’m in. Pull that race card baby!!!
If only vaccinated people get on the plane, then they should not be vulnerable to COVID, right? So why should anyone then care if there's an unvaccinated person on the plane?
Can somebody explain the government's logic?
Funny how, in a round about way, the left is realizing they made a huge mistake by enabling an unconstitutional regime to occupy the Whitehut.
The only ones not worried are politicians and globalists. They get whatever they want and rules do not apply to them.
I am sure the vaccine certificate is not mandatory for them.
” ... we need to be storming the gates (figuratively) during the next election cycle.”

Storm away - nothing will change, unless people imagine the Democrats will surrender their total control of the US election system.
The “ vaccine card “ is backfiring in a big way.
Finally, the sleepy citizenry is ready to revolt.
Blacks have a harder time absorbing vit D. They should be supplementing and then I would bet the numbers drop.
The scary thing is that most likely they will get an exemption because of this and because “racism”.
Meanwhile all of us will need the passport and have to pay the tax to enter.
REICH CITIZENSHIP LAW (1935)
The Reich Citizenship Law, one of the infamous Nuremberg Laws, was publicly announced by Hitler and passed by the Reichstag in September 1935:
“Article One
1. A subject of the state is one who belongs to the protective union of the German Reich, and who, therefore, has specific obligations to the Reich.
2. The status of subject is to be acquired in accordance with the provisions of the Reich and the state Citizenship Law.
Article Two
1. A citizen of the Reich may be only one who is of German or kindred blood, and who, through his behaviour, shows that he is both desirous and personally fit to serve loyally the German people and the Reich.
2. The right to citizenship is obtained by the grant of Reich citizenship papers.
3. Only the citizen of the Reich may enjoy full political rights in consonance with the provisions of the laws.
Article Three
The Reich Minister of the Interior, in conjunction with the Deputy to the Fuhrer, will issue the required legal and administrative decrees for the implementation and amplification of this law.”
Passed September 16th 1935.
To come into effect S
I have my vaccine card. I’ve had 2 doses and I still have a Pfizer covid vaccine rash to prove it. Pfizer, Gates and others will make a shitload of money if vaccine cards are made mandatory and so will the regime for pushing vaccine cards through and making them mandatory.
No problem. Only white people will be required to use passports.
Here’s my question. How hard is it to forge vaccine cards. What do they look like? I got the vaccine — I didn’t get a card (and have no intention of carrying one around). I know of nurses / docs who had extra at the end of the day (they do spoil), and brought them home and jabbed family members. How will they get a card? The whole thing is ripe for fraud. Which, for the one time in my life, i would approve of.
If only vaccinated people get on the plane, then they should not be vulnerable to COVID, right? So why should anyone then care if there’s an unvaccinated person on the plane?
Can somebody explain the government’s logic?

The logic is Big Tech expects to get fat government contracts for these government Covid apps and they own the politicians. Those they don’t own, they deplatform.
So now blacks won’t need a vaccine passport but whites will?
