Covid Passports Proving Vaccine Status Will be Introduced in Time for the Return of Overseas Travel

The Government has contacted travel industry figures to say that Covid passports will be introduced in time for the return of overseas travel. The passport will feature a traveler’s “vaccine status”, granting those who have been vaccinated entry into countries which demand evidence of such information. The Telegraph has the story.

Covid passports will be made available to prove people have been vaccinated as early as next month, in time for summer holidays, the travel industry has been told.

The Department for Transport wants an official certification scheme that gives British travellers a document they can show at borders overseas in place by May 17th.

In a separate development, a European medical agency recommended that fully vaccinated travellers should be able to sidestep tests and quarantine.

It potentially smooths the path for holidays to more than 20 countries that have indicated they could ask travellers for proof of vaccination, such as Israel, Croatia, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and Cyprus.

Greece has moved to reopen its tourism industry by dropping quarantine rules for travellers from more than 30 nations if they have been vaccinated or tested negative for Covid.

The Covid vaccine certificate could come in either digital or physical form, with Government officials exploring the best way to make it work in the tight time frame.

Critically, the proof of having received a Covid jab would be certified by UK Government, meaning it would be accepted by countries demanding evidence before entry.

The topic of Covid passports was discussed in a call between Government officials and travel industry figures held on Wednesday. A Government official is reported to have said:

We aim to give people the ability to prove their vaccine status by the time international travel restarts where other countries require it. The earliest that will restart is May 17th.

Border officials said this week that around 100 fake Covid test certificates are found every day at the U.K. border. Whether or not Covid passports will be as easy to forge as officials say test certificates are, there is no doubt that some fakes will flow through the system.

The Telegraph’s report is worth reading in full.

Will these “passports” be as good as the track and trace scheme? I’ll wait and see. If it’s a government initiative it’ll be a pile of shiite with various workarounds, if not it’ll be slowly forgotten.

Yes, like predictive programming to get the public in the swing of things. Track and trace probably allowed the government to learn how the public reacted to such a system, and showed any weaknesses that needed tightened for when the passport system kicked off.

The proper name is ‘Gene Therapy Passports’.
For a disease with an IFR of 0.15.
Which you cannot spread if you don’t have symptoms (unless you had the gene therapy infusion).
With the gene therapy being based upon a computer model of a non-isolated virus, or in plain words, a pure invention/fantasy.
With a high chance of that virus not really existing or being the real problem, but Beriberi.

Why is the pseudo-vaccine & testing to see if you HAVE the virus paid for by the taxpayer yet testing to see whether you naturally have immunity by gaining immunity from catching COVID costs you quite a bit to test?

The “vaccines”, by the manufacturers’ own admission, don’t not make you immune to the virus. They do not stop you becoming infected and they do not stop you infecting others. At best, they may result in fewer symptoms if you are infected. So in what way is a vaccine passport, which proved that on some date in the past that you had a vaccine that doesn’t stop you become infected with coronavirus, a valuable tool to prevent the future spread of coronavirus? I’ll give you a clue. It isn’t a valuable tool to prevent the future spread of coronavirus. A valuable tool to prevent the future spread of coronavirus* would be to test someone when they were about to leave, and/or when they arrived at their destination, because then you will know (subject to the inadequacies of the test process) that they did not have the virus at the actual time of their arrival. *if indeed such a tool was even necessary, or desirable, for a virus which is becoming endemic with a mortality rate only marginally worse than seasonal influenza. So let’s be CRYSTAL CLEAR what vaccine passports are about. They are not about public health. They are not… Read more »

So there will be panic to get these passports so people can go to the Costas for 2 weeks in the summer. 1. will these so called passports be available, 2. will the travel industry be ready to take back tourists, 3. will the aircraft that has been sitting on the ground for the past year be functional, 4. will the travel industry still be operational as so many have gone bankrupt, 5. doesn’t this discriminate against the young and unvaccinated. I’m sure there are many other issues but those are 5 to get on with.

They are absolutely desperate for people to be vaccinated.
Why?
Two possibilities:

  1. There is some dastardly plan to wipe out the population via vaccines
  2. If lots of people don’t get vaccinated and this part of their Great Reset eco- and financial masterplan unravels, people will start asking all sorts of other awkward questions about all the other stuff that’s gone on over the last year and the end result might be that people with pitchforks will be coming after those in power.

While I love me a good conspiracy theory, most of my money would go on option number 2.

The third possibility is that the demand for them has gone down the pan, as they try to work through the age group, if it follows the trend of the ONS ‘hesitancy survey’. It could just be that there is a fair bit of potential travel trade that says ‘NO’.

The Council of Europe member states will launch an inquiry in January 2010 on the influence of the pharmaceutical companies on the global swine flu campaign, focusing especially on extent of the pharma’s industry’s influence on WHO.
The Health Committee of the EU Parliament has unanimously passed a resolution calling for the inquiry.
The step is a long-overdue move to public transparency of a “Golden Triangle” of drug corruption between WHO, the pharma industry and academic scientists that has permanently damaged the lives of millions and even caused death.”

Sadly, this was inevitable – because it is dependent on other countries’ demands. Not in domestic control. This government, however would not have resisted the idea, by any stretch of the imagination.

Tucker: Vaccine Passports Will Create a ‘Second Class Citizenry’ For Those Who Don’t Want Them

The U.S. federal government has said it won’t bring in vaccine passports but they’re not stopping businesses and large corporations from demand them.
Several states have banned them, but it will need more to join in to stop them coming in across the country.

It’s a shame we have so few people here who will stop them.
I even object to international vaccine passports, on the basis that it will become permanent even when CV19 effectively disappears into the background.

The Covid-19 vaccine certificate could come in either digital or physical form…

Ah, but will carry the government’s own vaccine caveat as printed on the NHS Public Information Leaflet ‘What to Expect after your Covid-19 Vaccination’? I quote:

‘We don’t know how much it will reduce the risk of you passing on the virus’.

Might I suggest for international travel the front design of the certificate is printed thus:

  • Warning: The UK Government does not know to what extent (if any) the vaccine will reduce the risk of this person passing on the Covid-19 virus.
  • Avertissement : Le gouvernement britannique ne sait pas dans quelle mesure (le cas échéant) le vaccin réduira le risque que cette personne transmet le virus Covid-19.
  • Warnung: Die Regierung des Vereinigten Königreichs weiß nicht, inwieweit der Impfstoff das Risiko verringern wird, dass diese Person das Covid-19-Virus weitergibt.
  • Advertencia: El Gobierno del Reino Unido no sabe hasta qué punto (si la hay) la vacuna reducirá el riesgo de que esta persona transmita el virus Covid-19.
  • 警告:英国政府不知道疫苗将在多大程度上(如果有的话)降低此人传播Covid-19病毒的风险。
  • Предупреждение: Правительство Великобритании не знает, в какой степени (если таковые имеются) вакцина снизит риск передачи этого человека на вирус Covid-19.

Nice little earner for De La Rue who used to produce the burgundy EU British passport but missed out on the contract to produce post Brexit Blue ones. They must have loads of spare capacity.

Then there’s the cost of recalls for confirmation of booster jabs for new variants or time expired.

The opportunity for falsification comes when applying for the vax permits. To get an actual Passport or approval by the Vetting and Barring Agency (formerly CRB) requires you to produce various original documents and an in-person encounter to prove you are who you claim to be.

What stringency was applied for ID when vax’s were dished out in numerous settings; GP Surgeries, Care Homes, hospitals etc. ?

According to OurWorldInData,
33 million people
is the “Total number of people who received at least one vaccine dose”
while
43.46 million
is the “total number of doses”
and
10.78 million
is the “total number of people fully vaccinated”.

However this assumes the government is telling the truth about how many have had it, and that the government is good at counting. For both of these assumptions, the jury is still out.

This was the entire point. Governments won’t and can’t make the vaccines mandatory, but they’ll happily turn those who won’t or can’t have the vaccines into 2nd class citizens, thereby exerting coercive pressure on them to submit and conform, and they won’t care who dies as a result, or made seriously ill.
It’s not about CV19, it’s about control.

Or can we find any ‘friendly’ vaxxers out there who will say they gave you the vaccine but actually threw it in the bin?? What if you make an appointment, even show up but then run away just before your jab – reckon it’ll find it’s way onto your NHS ? or contact NHS after to say they made an error and forgot to record you but you can show you had an appointment that you went along to and want record correcting?……. hopefully some one of these may work to avoid it!

All those most important lessons, rules and principles we supposedly learnt from history they said we must not forget seem to be conveniently forgotten.

If the aim is to prevent spread of the virus, it doesn’t make sense either; we still expect some vaccinated people (about 1 in 10 or 1 in 5? or lower depending on vaccine and new variants?) can catch it and pass it on, so in that respect they would potentially be no different from unvaccinated people, and (by their logic) the system could be worse if such people can travel and mix unrestricted without being tested or under same restrictions as the unvaccinated.

But could we be underestimating how many vaccinated people catch it because they are less likely to be tested, more likely to ignore mild symptoms?

Is it just coincidence that this is announced when the gov are trying to roll out the “vaccines” to the younger age groups and perhaps finding that these aren’t proving so popular as in the older age groups? If they can’t get the masses on board with the vaccine programme, the whole house of cards starts to collapse. People will see that vaccines are unnecessary, and serious side effects will become even more of a concern. So they have to get the vaccine programme completed before people wake up to this fraud. They don’t want people rebelling. So first start with bribery. Holidays for jabs. If that doesn’t work, then blackmail, withdrawing access to basic services unless vaccinated. I don’t think there are any depths they won’t sink to. Stay strong and resist. It isn’t futile! (The Borg- Now there’s some clever programming for you!)
