The latest CDC report shows that approximately 162 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered. This number is increasing steadily every day. These results show that millions of Americans are not reluctant to take the vaccine.
Despite the impressive distribution statistics, there is not universal support for the vaccine. On almost every major issue in the country there is diversity of opinion and this is certainly true for a topic as controversial as the COVID-19 vaccine.
A recent poll discovered that 41 percent of Republicans will not get the coronavirus vaccine. These results mimic other polls that have been taken in recent weeks. Unfortunately, these Republicans, along with millions of other Americans who refuse the vaccine, might face a severe infringement of their freedoms.
It seems that vaccine passports are being encouraged by the Biden administration and are being developed by their ideological partners in academia and corporate America.
On Friday, Cornell University President Martha Pollack and Provost Michael Kotlikoff issued a statement that all students returning to the “Ithaca, Geneva, and Cornell Tech campuses for the fall semester” will be required to have a COVID-19 “vaccination.”
This announcement follows a similar statement issued by Rutgers University last week. In the days ahead, many other universities will surely issue similar vaccine requirements for the fall semester.
The vaccine requirements will not be limited to colleges and universities. Soon, the leading corporations in the country may require a vaccine for their employees to work in office settings. Such vaccine passports may also be required to fly or to attend special events such as concerts and athletic contests.
The concept of vaccine passports should horrify Americans, regardless of their personal stance on the issue. As Americans, we should have the freedom to either take the vaccine or not.
While older Americans may feel more vulnerable and want to take the vaccine, others should be able to refuse it for whatever reason. Some Americans might not trust the government or the pharmaceutical companies, others may have read online reports about serious side effects, including deaths, that have occurred after taking the vaccine.
In America, we should have the right to say “no,” especially on issues regarding our personal health. Fortunately, a few political leaders, such as South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, have shown courage by publicly condemning vaccine passports. However, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has not only condemned vaccine passports, but he has also acted.
On Friday, he issued an executive order banning vaccine passports in his state. In the declaration, he stated that “requiring so-called COVID-19 vaccine passports for taking part in everyday life – such as attending a sporting event, patronizing a restaurant, or going to a movie theater – would create two classes of citizens based on vaccinations.”
DeSantis banned government entities and businesses from requiring vaccine passports since “It is necessary to protect the fundamental rights and privacies of Floridians and free flow of commerce in the state.” DeSantis is also working with the Florida legislature to make these protections “permanent” for the citizens of his state.
While DeSantis is taking the lead at the state level, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) is the first to act in Congress. She introduced legislation entitled the “We Will Not Comply Act.” The purpose of this bill is to “ban vaccine ‘passports,’ prevent discrimination against the unvaccinated, and much more to protect the freedom of the American people.” Once again, this newly elected congresswoman, Representative Taylor-Greene, is showing more courage than the vast majority of her Republican Party colleagues in the House or Senate.
Vaccine passports are the definition of medical tyranny. The entire idea is both Orwellian and dangerous. It is what would be expected in a country ruled by a tyrannical government, not in a constitutional republic.
Even liberal author Naomi Wolf understands the dangers that vaccine passports represent. She says that if these plans are implemented, it will mean “the end of human liberty in the West.” Wolf believes the real threat is the government’s access to the personal data of millions of Americans. According to Wolf, a vaccine passport will lead to the “the end of civil society….it has the power to turn off your life, or to turn on your life, to let you engage in society or be marginalized.”
Wolf noted that communist China has such a system in place in their country which keeps “a billion people under the thumb of a totalitarian regime.” This allows the communist rulers to “find any dissident in five minutes, and that can happen here literally within months.”
Whether the concerns are health or privacy, millions of Americans do not want to take the vaccine. This will be unacceptable to the Biden administration and their allies. These Americans will start to face incredible pressure to comply.
One tactic was revealed by Dr. Leana Wen, public health professor at George Washington University. In a CNN interview, she admitted that Americans need to be given a “carrot” to “incentivize” them to take the vaccine. According to Wen, “we need to make it clear to them that the vaccine is the ticket back to pre-pandemic life.” Her fear is that “otherwise, people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway.”
In the view of Wen and many others demanding that Americans take the vaccines, freedoms should not be allowed for those people who refuse. This is the antithesis of what it means to be an American, living in the “land of the free.”
Even if we take the vaccine, we must fight for the rights of those Americans who do not want to take it. These are not passports to health; they are passports straight to hell.
Infringement of my freedoms? What could possibly go wrong? I am about to collect social security, don’t travel by plane and mind my own business all while taking daily doses of Vitamin D3, Zinc, Magnesium and a multi-vitamin.
I glanced at the headline and read “Vatican passports to Hell.”
These are times that try men’s souls.
My body. My choice. Isn’t that we’ve been told all these years? Also, if someone gets the vaccine, how is anyone who didn’t a threat to them?
According to Wen, “we need to make it clear to them that the vaccine is the ticket back to pre-pandemic life.” Her fear is that “otherwise, people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway.”
Speechless.
If the vaccine is working, and the disease is practically eliminated, then there is no need to develop and deploy Mandatory Smartphone Apps that Certify Vaccination Status, commonly called “Vaccine passports.”
This will cost billions. Our money. For something that will be needed for only a few more weeks. That is the point this cynic is making: the Illustrious Powers that Control us here on Earth want this app to be permanent. It will be used during the next crisis to control the folks. Covid-19 will go away but the app won’t.
An app for iPhone won’t work on Android. Development efforts for each of the smartphone op systems? Big Bucks!
Since they are going to do it regardless of what I say, let’s look at the app. It will need a picture of the person whose vax status it attests to. That picture will need to be certified as that of the person to whom the smartphone is registered to. Will that be accomplished by face recognition technology (that china has developed and deployed big time)?
Since many elderly don’t have smartphones and can’t afford the price, will they be just thrown into a mass grave and forgotten?
As for the minorities who don’t have smartphones and can’t afford the price, they will get a smartphone + data plan free (paid for by you and me.)
I am disgusted that the country adopted naziism is so short a time. I was hoping that I would not see the country bending to naziism. Looks like its leaders have already put on the jackboots and are practicing their Sieg Heil!
Doesn't require a smartphone. In fact all the smartphone does is display a QR code, exactly the same as if it were printed. What they leave out is that a vaccine "passport" is not a passport at all, it's a signed digital credential with your name in it. I can just as easily show them your credential with your name, and nobody would know.
Except for one thing. The thing the media keeps leaving out. The credential is worthless without a government ID. So in fact what they want to mandate is ID checks everywhere. The credential is secondary.
I wished I had kept it, because it was a much better phone than this pos.
I hate it.

Don’t forget QUERCETIN which is an ionophore for zinc and will unlock your cells, so to speak of; and deliver the zinc into your cells. Otherwise you don’t get all the benefits of zinc. QUERCETIN has many other health benefits as well and is available from Amazon. Happy Easter !
As an American you do have that choice. Take it, don't take it, it's up to you. Nobody is going to pin you down and force a needle in your arm.
I remember a few months back Apple in a update downloaded a covid tracer app on my phone. It cannot be removed.
I wonder if something similar will happen, these apps will be put in our phones without our approval.
The nerve of people for thinking they can enjoy life and live like normal without government approval.
Who do the unwashed think they are?????
i have an iPhone and a Samsung android phone. Both are unlocked and my cell providers cannot install their SW on them. I do not have any covid contact tracer. Chances are it was your provider and not Apple that installed that app.
Beside the quercetin already suggested, you must take vitamin k2 with the d3. It will prebent calcification of soft tissue, especially arteries and kidneys.
Thanks. I’ll add K2 to my list of items to get.
Thanks, am adding it to my list. Happy Easter to you, too.
Apologies if you've seen this. It's a pdf.
I haven’t seen this, and thank you very much. I’ve downloaded it and will share with friends and family as well.
