CBS News travel editor, Peter Greenberg, almost appeared gleeful when he predicted two things: that travel – both domestic and international – would most likely return this summer, and that there would be a prerequisite to being able to travel.
Greenberg stated bluntly that in order to travel you will most likely need proof that you’ve been vaccinated for COVID. Vaccination passports, he said, will be the new standard in travel.
“It will be required,” Greenberg said. “The real question is what technology will be available to create a universally acceptable and universally readable document that can’t be forged.”
A new term has entered the vocabulary among governments and in the travel industry: vaccine passport. In the near future, travel may require proof that passengers have been vaccinated or tested negative for the coronavirus. https://t.co/imfNDCvWAU

He noted that preliminary versions of a vaccine passport – or health passport – are being developed by several outlets, in both the public and private sectors – and in some cases a combination of both, around the world.
Greenberg spotlighted the effort taking place in Denmark, pointing out that the Nordic nation is creating a digital passport for citizens that will contain all your current medical information that can be updatable on that digital card.”
The CBS News reporter, speaking with a level of authority usually reserved for higher-level medical professionals intimate with the COVID pandemic, said while digital versions of “your papers” appear to be the goal, early models will likely be physical.
One entrepreneur has come up with two versions of a vaccination passport, one for international travel and another for domestic. The international version has e-vaccine technology that is tantamount to an electronic version of your health records.
His domestic – or basic version (without the e-vaccine technology), he suggests, would be more appropriate for domestic travel and daily interactions. Both versions hold information about which vaccine was administered, where it was administered, and when.
The Times reports that airlines, nonprofits, industry groups and tech companies are all working on launching an app or digital proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test. https://t.co/L9xgwPdApV

Greenberg told local reporters that vaccine verification would most likely become commonplace for cruise lines and some airlines as soon as July.
“They’re gonna be asking for it at your point of departure and your point of entry,” Greenberg said. He continued on saying additional places where you might be asked to “show your papers” include airline ticket counters, passport control lanes, and Customs and Border Protection embarkation points.
Lost in the madness to rush to vaccine documentation requirements are existing HIPPA laws and the very issue of privacy.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) created a national standard for protecting sensitive patient information. Included in the Protected Health Information (PHI) are not only your name, social security number, address(es), phone number(s), test results, and diagnoses, but also personal and behavioral attributes that can help anyone – including travel industry companies – single out an individual.
Additionally, the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights protects against illegal search and seizure, stating clearly:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Curiously, there have been no privacy advocate groups stepping up to challenge the encroachment into the privacy of Americans where the questionable subject of vaccine documentation is concerned.
Only because it will get the economy and our freedom back. I personally can’t wait!
But this could evolve into needing this health or vaccine passport to travel domestically.
By 1933 the German media was all in on internal passports too.
If I had the means, I would be emigrating to Belarus, Finland, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia or Poland.
Belarus is appealing because they didn’t fall for the fake pandemic and never required face diapers. I envy their freedom.
It would also be nice to live in a country with no cancel culture and where it’s no sin to be White.
Forget the certificates. . . .certification will be infused in the body.
What’s so “free” about forcing people to be vaccinated for a little virus with a survival rate of over 99%.
This is a fake pandemic. Admit it.
It will be a cold day in Hell when I am vaccinated for the cornyvirus.
They will need to exempt illegal aliens.
What we will all need is forged papers proving we are illegal aliens!
Bkmk
So, because you refuse to be a lab rat in the mRNA injection clinical trial you can’t travel? Clear case of intimidation and discrimination against people who say no to the experimental shot.
I guess I’ll be keeping my 4Runner for a few more years.
What are you saying? You want to be a documented undocumented immigrant?
Code of Federal Regulations, Sec. 21,50.2
The "nanoparticles" are just small molecules that are injected along with the main ingredient that aid in the vaccination process. These "nanoparticles" have been used before and are not some brand new AMAZING invention.
So you need ID to travel but not vote.
And Americans need ID to travel 50 miles, but illegal aliens don’t need disease screenings to cross CONTINENTS.
LOL I don't need no steenking Vaccination Passport. I'm an illegal alien!
Two more:
Good plan.
:)
Horrible confession story:
We were thinking of baying a friend’s 4Runner and took it out for a spin.
It was registered to him so I was not connected to it, and I decided to go have a look at the Forbidden Zone up at the “phone company” on the mountain.
Got up to the “Use of deadly force” signs when a vehicle came blasting down the road towards us.
I did a 3 point hauling ass turn and took off back down the road.
The truck driver was not as familiar with the wilderness area as I am and I swung up a dirt rut road and floored it.
In my side view mirror, I saw him miss the “road” and watched him go on down the mountain, hunting for me.
We kept going through the brush and ended up alongside Rattle Run, where the granfather I never met was shot in the back for running ‘shine.
Half a mile later, on the other side of the ridge was a hunt club sign.
Crawled over the deadfalls in the ruts and popped out on the other side of the mountain.
Bought the 4Runner the next day.
:D
/yes, hubby was freaking out but I was laughing like a maniac...it’s genetic
I do not trust the scientists. They are saying it is a vaccine when it is actually gene therapy.
