Another day, another COVID-related messaging blunder from the Biden administration after the Department of Homeland Security had to issue a statement walking back statements by its Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, claiming DHS is "taking a very close look" at vaccine passports.
When asked during a Friday interview on Good Morning America about summer travel and whether or not the United States may require vaccine passports for international travel in or out of the country, Mayorkas didn't provide specifics but said "we're taking a very close look at that," adding some intersectional buzzwords for extra pizazz.
"One of our principles that has guided us throughout this pandemic is the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion—and making sure that any passport that we provide for vaccinations is accessible to all and that no one is disenfranchised, and so we're taking a very close look at that," he added before urging every American to get vaccinated.
Either Mayorkas spilled the beans about plans for vaccine passports a little too early or he just flubbed on his answer because shortly after the interview, his agency released a statement saying that it has no plans for such a credential, echoing what the White House has said.
According to a report from Bloomberg:
Liza Acevedo, a spokesperson for the department, said later that Mayorkas was referring to work already underway to make sure “all U.S. travelers will be able to easily meet any anticipated foreign country entry requirements.”
There will be no federal vaccination database or a federal requirement for Americans to prove they’ve been vaccinated, Acevedo said.
The White House has regularly dismissed any suggestion that the government would create a federal document certifying vaccination status. “We are not instituting vaccine passports from a federal level,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday.
There is quite a disconnect between what Mayorkas said on GMA and what his agency later clarified—and even within the statement from DHS.
If, as Mayorkas said, a vaccine passport is being considered for international travel to or from the United States, the federal government would need some sort of database to know who's been vaccinated. Yet the DHS spox said there won't be any federal vaccination database.
And what will happen if one of the "anticipated foreign country entry requirements" they're working to meet is a vaccine passport?
The current administration has not done well in clearly delivering guidance related to the Wuhan coronavirus, and it looks like Biden and his cabinet intend to keep following their clear-as-mud communications playbook.
That'll get the economy moving.

Never let a “crisis” go to waste, especially one you created.
He accidentally told the truth. Now they have to spend a few months pretending that this isn’t the plan. And then it will be the plan.
Ooopsie....
Someone let the cat out of the bag.
Sad thing is a lot of people on this site would love vaccine passports to be implemented.
Arseholes all.
The Biden Administration. The gang that couldn’t talk, walk or shoot straight.
All of the people crossing at the Southern border have had their shots and passports, right? The Biden admin. wouldn’t let them in otherwise. Because these unConstitutional Passports to travel are such a great idea.
Of course there’s going to be a vaccine passport. It’s all part of the plan.
First the mask.
Second the vax.
Third—your papers.
Fourth—your palm.
Absolutely, if illegal invaders can get drivers licenses in many Rat states, they will most definitely get vaccine passports issued by the US authorities. Maybe drug cartels can manage the vax passports under license from DHS - as I read somewhere they already used the panic over PPE last year to smuggle-in cocaine together with face masks and surgical gloves.

I fully believe they are conspiring to implement vaccine passports
That’s rich. Vaccine passports to leave or enter the country while at least 170,000 people cross the border illegally every month and are dispersed around the country in the dead of night. I’m sure Joe Biden is personally inspecting each and every one’s “vaccine passport” upon entry. Further comment censored to remain free of incarceration.

Sadly you are correct...One even said it should be tamper proof—to make sure no vax liars.
Now what is the likely only way a vax passport could be tamper proof?
Spell it with me...C H I P...
Screw vaccines. Evil cartel from hell.
Money. Big Pharma. Evil empire from hell
History of the evil empire
Excerpt
1975 Federal Drug Administration Bureau of Biologics concludes that Diphtheria toxoid (vaccine) is ‘not as effective an immunizing agent as might be anticipated.’ They admit that Diphtheria may occur in vaccinated people, and note that ‘the permanence of immunity induced by the toxoid is open to question.’
1975 Japan stops using Pertussis vaccine following publicity about vaccine-related deaths.
1976 FDA Pertussis vaccine specialist Charles Manclark comments ‘Pertussis vaccine is one of the most troublesome products to produce and assay. It has one of the highest failure rates of all products submitted to the Bureau of Biologics for testing and release. Approximately 15-20% of all lots which pass manufacturer tests fail to pass the tests of the Bureau.’
1976 According to a letter from the British Association for Parents of Vaccine Damaged Children, published in the British Medical Journal of February 1976, ‘two years ago we started to collect details from parents of serious reactions suffered by their children to immunizations of all kinds. In 65% of the cases referred to us, reactions followed ‘triple’ vaccinations. The children in this group total 182 to date. All are severely brain damaged, some are paralyzed, and 5 have died during the past 18 months. Approximately 60% of reactions (major convulsions, collapse, screaming) happened within 3 days and all within 12 days.
1976 Dr. Jonas Salk, creator of the polio vaccine, says that analysis indicates that the live virus vaccine in use since the 1960’s is the principle, if not sole cause of all polio cases since 1961.
1976 More than 500 people receiving flu vaccinations become paralyzed with Guilain-Barre Syndrome.
December 1976 No epidemic of Swine flu surfaces despite rapid approval and response to perceived threat following 1 death of a solder at Ft. Dix, NJ. Swine Flu inoculation program shut down after risk of death and polio like syndrome from the vaccination is found to be almost 12 times greater in vaccinated than un-vaccinated people. 5% of people afflicted die, 10% are crippled or maimed for life.
The WAR IS ON. JESUS AND THR TRUTH. PROTECTING INNOCENT LIFE. WILL WIN !!!!
Mayorkas is the stupidest of Biden’s appointments in his cabinet/administration. He’s stuck his ignorance foot in his mouth so many times that he looks like a “used shoe store”.
