As Vaccine Passports Are Rolled Out Across the World, What Price Freedom?

We’re publishing an original piece by our in-house technology correspondent about the roll out of vaccine passports around the world and the dire consequences for personal freedom. Here is an extract:

When we look at death tallies and population level vaccination rates one has to question the motivation of the rush to implement this kind of technology. Take Brunei with a grand total of three COVID-19 deaths. It already has its app, BruHealth, which is used to restrict access to business premises and shows the “activity trace” of any nearby confirmed cases. They even used it for a while to control access to Friday prayers. Finland, with 868 deaths and 2% of its population fully vaccinated, has joined with Estonia (1,006 deaths, 5% vaccinated) to be one of the first to pilot a WHO scheme involving showing your immunity status to your employer. What could possibly go wrong? Australia, with 909 deaths and only 4% of its population vaccinated, is working with unions to determine domestic restrictions based on its Medicare Express Plus app which can access the national Australian Immunisation Register. The data suggests these countries do not have a problem that merits deploying technology to restrict the lives of 95% of their citizens for an indefinite period.

I feel sick too, but also consumed with rage. All this money, our taxes, pissed up the wall because of a bad cold. Hundreds of people milking the system for profit. Where is the consideration of ethics, morality, fairness and essential human rights? If we have no rights, who exactly owns us? There is a deafening silence from the religious leaders, where do they stand on this abomination? Bodily autonomy has to be a basic human right. Messing with people’s heads to induce fear and terror to ease the path to coercion is fundamentally wrong, to the extent that I consider it a war crime.

From the moment the first vaccine was real, it was obvious to me that documentation was inescapable, we live in a world defined by record keeping systems. Secure, extensible Relational Databases sound drab (they are anything but ), but they keep track of the pounds and pennies, qualifications, health histories and contractual obligations of all our lives from the cradle to the grave. It’s just the way of the world, it is infantile politics to call it a passport. It is inescapable. One may as well try to destroy the gutenberg press. We are, to governments, raw material represented as data. It’s just how it is. A showdown has been looming for decades. As a betting man, I bet the Databases will continue, on and on. Dash yourselves against the solid walls if you wish, but you never make a dent in the wall. We all need record keeping systems, like air, food, water. The old days are gone.

It’s not about record keeping. It is about control, and brute force. To make you take an experimental drug against your will. Maybe you will get a nasty side effect, maybe you won’t. But don’t worry. If you don’t get a nasty side effect this time you may get one next time because they will be endless. Your immune system will be f***** and let’s just say you still don’t get sick. What are you going to do when they get you onto their cashless system and oh no! they tweak the interest rates to -0.5 or something. Will you be happy to lose your life savings every day? Or when the taxes on personal property go sky high. Thought you were safe as you have paid off your mortgage. Think again

⁣From Tavistock Social Engineering the masses..⁣In a 1981 interview, Hal Becker from a think tank called “Futures Group” in Connecticut said: “I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television…. You put something on the television and it becomes reality. If the world outside the TV set contradicts the images, people start trying to change the world to make it like the TV set images….” You see, television is not the truth, for as much as people keep tuning in to its lies. Television is an amusement park, a group of jugglers, belly dancers, storytellers, singers and stripers. But you people, have been completely hypnotised by the Tube. You sit there, day after day, night after night.… TV is all most of you know! Five percent of Americans read more than five books per year, yet one billion people tune in to the Oscar awards. You dream like a tube, speak like a tube, smell, dress, act like your television.

No. We don’t. Absolutely not.
We don’t have certification for flu jabs or “passports” that we need to show that we’ve been vaccinated just to go to a football match or a restaurant, or to get on a flight.
We have vaccines to go to specific countries with certain endemic diseases with a high mortality rate, e.g. 20 – 50%, not one with a mortality rate of 3 in 7800, which mainly affects people who are elderly and unwell. It’s disproportionate and unnecessary. It amounts to illegal coercion into forcing people to have an experimental vaccine that the majority don’t need.

On one level I don’t disagree. We all have ID numbers whether that is passport numbers or social security numbers. In a sophisticated resource allocating economy its necessary. So if there is and added ‘red/green added , so what? Well the ‘so what’ is important, and this is where I strongly disagree with you. The ‘so what’ here is the injection of an emergency use novel sustance which has not finished its abreviated trials until end of 2023, and specifically ‘says on the tin’ that it does not confer immunity nor reduce transmission. And it being made fairly compulsary, which given the above is against the Nuremburg code. So lets say in 2/3 years time and the trials are over and the immunity /transmission comes out at the high end of ‘flu jabs’ ( very optimistic) , that 50% or so in good years. What good exactly is the red/green label? Its only as good as the sign that you have been a fully compliant citizen and taken an untested drug because the state told you to. What is even more tragic, at that point the only way that these biosecurity IDs would have any use is if something else… Read more »

Right, there’s some points I want addressing before anyone is penalised over vaccine passports. These points (and any others of concern I may miss out) must be answered to everyone’s satisfaction by genuinely independent experts and scientists with no possible connection to politics, pharmaceutical companies etc. No answers, no vaccine passport. Is that too much to ask? First, and perhaps most obviously, we need to know for certain about the long term effects of these “vaccines” (or experimental gene therapy drugs or whatever). Then there are several points of concern that we do know about and need investigating. After the UK’s vaccination programme started on 8th December, official cv deaths (with the usual provisos about numbers) went up from less than 400/day to over 1200/day about 6 weeks later; Israel’s large vaccination programme saw an increase in non-covid deaths; Gibraltar, after starting the vaccination of the entire population on 10th January saw covid deaths increase from 16 to 94 (equivalent to about 190,000 in the UK) in a short period of time, the most deaths they’ve seen from anything in such a short time for over 100 years – and shortly after an intense fllu vaccination programme; Whether these “vaccines”… Read more »

The number of deaths in one group of Scottish isles has almost doubled during the first 10 weeks of 2021 (58 deaths) compared with first 10 weeks of 2020 (32 deaths). Coincides with vaccine rollout. All on the registers of Scotland in Excel.

“That will be possible after a long term has passed.”

And that should have been determined during clinical trials first, before being pushed onto an unsuspecting population. It is utterly immoral to use the wider population, without fully informing them first and giving them a choice, as guinea pigs.

The suprising thing is that comrade Sturgeon doesn’t even seem to be considering vaccine passports, even though she is even more of a lockdown/zero Covid zealot than Boris and co. I’m not saying that I would have the vaccine to go to the pub, I can’t think of anything that would make me have one, but when you enjoy your first pint on Monday spare a thought for those of us in the Northern Gulag who have to wait at least another 2 weeks.

Good old fishy making Scotland look stupid. (Though to be fair there’s plenty of people making England look stupid).

English people don’t have to show anything in any pub, for now at least. The pub industry stood up and said no. It’s about time other industries followed suit.

Ah but the people from the Southern Gulag can only enter the pub if they need to go through it to access the outside area to drink. As our weather is extremely chilly at the moment, nothing to envy there. As for what our esteemed leader has in store is anyone’s guess as with an election in 6 weeks she has to hedge her bets.
Correct me if I’m wrong but in Scotland no one has been given proof of having the vaccine, only a card with their second appointment. I know people who have had the jibjab and don’t know which one. I will have to enquire if they are given proof after the second dose.

“…one has to question the motivation of the rush to implement this kind of technology.”

Oh really, after a year or more of mass manipulation and deception by govts around the world we have maybe a small incline , perhaps a merest suggestion of some vague impropriety by the people in charge ?

Some people , some voices in the wilderness have been on to this from the start.
The plandemic is cover for the introduction of digital id which will lead swiftly to the digital surveillance and control of the people across ALL areas of life.
The govts will continue to deploy the “Distraction Enemy For Every Group” tactic to keep people fighting each other, and in this case it will be the vaxed against the un-vaxed .

The vaccine is the first step in the permanent medicalisation of life. The consequences of this are too dire to contemplate

Toby, people such as yourself could pick up the phone and call all the prominent libertarians eg Tim Martin , Frederick Forsyth , silent but wavering politicians , business and cultural figures etc and form a freedom coalition.

This is precisely what all the scaremongering has been about. The reason was the digital ID/vaccine passports, not CV19.
Vaccine passports haven’t been rushed in. They were being touted last spring, within weeks of the virus hitting the West and lockdowns being imposed everywhere. The technology exists, so what government wouldn’t want to use them.
Even Russell Brand gets it (dear God, I agree with Russell Brand).

I’m afraid that my experience is that checks on health records seem to already be expected, for some of the population in the UK, at least. MP’s who are now so against vaccine passports should have thought about the implications of a government whipping up hysteria about ‘other people’s health’ when they voted through the coronavirus restrictions last year.

My own most recent experience of having to relate health data in public is in my blog:

https://thoughtsofacarer.blogspot.com/2021/04/vaccine-passports-some-people-already.html

There was an article a while back about telling conservative candidates you won’t vote for them if the party supports vaccine passports. After my experiences, I’ll never vote Tory again. We were conned into it at the last election and I’ll never trust them again, at any level.

The point about “will your particular brand of vaccination be recognised was a good one” (God help all those poor Serbs – cruelly maimed and it was all for nothing) but to my mind this article had something missing – where was the KEY point in all of this that as the manufacturers say in their own literature that the “vaccine” doesn’t stop you getting covid or passing it on to someone else, so some one who has had the vaccine is just as much of a “disease risk” as someone who has not had it.
