CBS DECLARES: You’ll Need A COVID ‘Vaccination Passport’ To Travel By Summer 2021 - Without a mention of privacy rights the mainstream media appears to be all in for making you ‘show your papers’

As the United States prepares to open back up after the unnecessarily long COVID lockdowns, the mainstream media is shaping the narrative that “vaccination passports” will not only be required for travel, but that they will arrive as a necessity by this summer.

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

— The New York Times (@nytimes) February 4, 2021

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.

Personally I'm going to avoid the vaccine as long as possible. Hopefully there will be a truly traditional vaccine that is a dead or weakened version of COVID.

Even if it doesn't really work, if it allows me to keep my job and travel then I will take it.

I am still a bit suspicious of the J&J as it uses an adenovirus with the spiky bit of COVID to fool antibodies into making antibodies for COVID, but I'd be happier taking that than the Moderna or Pfizer products.

Still everything is aborted fetus based so there's that moral quagmire, though I did find a list that details which treatments and upcoming vaccines are dead baby free.

I'm hoping that something entirely moral comes up before I need to think about early retirement in the concentration camp called California.

This has nothing to do with health as proven by the fact that Xao Bai-Din has allowed untested illegal aliens to run freely across the country.

Any entity attempting to enforce a vaccine for a fraud needs to be first sued into oblivion and then deported to any country these COVID-ridden illegal aliens came from.

Our communist rulers are right on schedule...
Based on a November 2020 forecast, that travel ban is Step #11...
Steps 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 are well on their way to implementation as well...

------------------------------------------------------------
The communist plan is well-developed and ready for immediate implementation...

Based on communist history, a reasonable extrapolation (Now that the communist coup has been successful) would be a strategy that has been used throughout their history... (Only the names are changed):

Step #1: Get JB elected by any means necessary;

Step #2: Shortly after inauguration remove him for dementia;

Step #3: Swear Harris into office with Pelousy as VP;

Step #4: Shut down all wall construction, open the borders, and grant amnesty & fast-track citizenship to the 40-million illegal migrants already here;

Step #5: Appoint obunghole & 3 or 4 others to the expanded SCOTUS who would quickly rule the entire Constitution unconstitutional;

Step #6: Ban all sales of guns & ammo;

Step #7: Buy back or confiscate all guns and ammo;

Step #8: Indict, try, convict, and lock Trump family up in Guantanamo, Thailand, Libya, or mental institutions;

Step #9: Start the most complete communist purge (based on voter records & internet posted view) in history(AOC already announced plans for the burning/ovens...);

Step #10: Remove time limit on holding office of President;

Step #11: Ban all travel across state lines without proper papers;

Step #12: Celebrate about one thousand years of peace & prosperity (For the apparatchiks...)

I am not getting the shot. No one is going to force me. We are right now fixing our RV up just in case we have to fly, because we will not fly if a shot is required.

There are those of us who are allergic to many vaccines. I guess these authoritarian morons don’t realize that not everyone can take a vaccine. And, the little cold I had last week is thought to have been a mild case of COVID, according to my doctor. He wants me to be tested after Monday (end of my week-long quarantine). Then what about those of us who have natural immunity and don’t need a vaccine?

If we only had brave politicans this could be sabotaged easily. They are counting on digital apps to streamline this process... Instead make them accept paper documentation and require they keep several years of *physical* documentation records on hand.

Bury companies and governments in paperwork. Make compliance costly both in human capital (time spent) and in resources (vaccination records storage)

There is a commercial for medication that masks HIV infection, so the gay community is immune to prosecution and free to share HIV with you. This is ok

Everything you say is right. But reality is, in order to fully open up, 70 percent of more need to be vaccinated. Liberals won this round. No doubt about it. They’ve convinced 80 percent that it was dangerous. Heck even California whose going to recall the governor only got 1.5 million signatures and going after another 200K for signature safety out of a state of 40 million. I heard all the scare tactics about anthrax vaccines when I was in the military. In fact, a lot of people were kicked out for refusing them. They thought they’d be dead in a year. Well 15 years later after I got the series of shots, I’m still kicking. Nothing worse then fear. I hate that. It screws people’s credibility. All those anthrax deniers were liars!

“The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA)”

HIPAA. (He couldn’t figure that out after spelling out the name of the act?)

“Yet in California it is legal to give some HIV.”

Yes. And on purpose to boot.

“I will say, I will never get the vaccination.”

Me, too. And I’m eligible due to my age. Mom as well — and she’s 96. Never.

Are they going to set up checkpoints on the Interstates?

Yup. And on the back roads, the cops will just pull over out of state cars for no other reason than because "police state".
