Norway to Introduce Covid Vaccine Passports – Will Britain Follow Suit?

Norway is the latest country to announce that it will introduce domestic Covid vaccine passports. Reuters reports:

Norway will introduce verifiable vaccine certificates from early June, allowing holders to use them for admittance to events held in Norway, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said on Wednesday.

Around a quarter of Norway’s population has so far received a first dose of a vaccine against Covid, while 6.8% has received two doses.

In Hong Kong, a Government mobile app is being used to enable vaccinated people to visit bars and nightclubs – or, rather, to prevent unvaccinated people from doing the same. At restaurants, unvaccinated people must sit in designated areas, away from those who have received a vaccine. Likewise in Germany, people who are fully vaccinated or who have recovered from Covid (as proved by some form of certification) will soon be permitted to engage in certain activities from which others will be barred.

Will the British Government follow suit, as it did after Italy introduced its first lockdown last February? The voices of those thousands who protested against the introduction of vaccine passports in London last month might not have been listened to, but will that of the SAGE psychologist who said on Tuesday that such a scheme could lead to people refusing to get vaccinated against Covid?

We already know that a number of “anti-Covid” measures – such as mask-wearing and caps on numbers attending large events – are likely to stay in place beyond the “end” of lockdown. The Government is said to have told football’s UEFA that crowd sizes at upcoming events will be limited to 45,000. How likely is it that these 45,000 people will have to show proof a Covid status certificate on entry to prove they don’t have Covid? MailOnline reports that the potential use of domestic vaccine passports remains unclear:

Covid vaccine passports have already been confirmed for when foreign travel resumes on May 17th but exactly how they’ll be deployed domestically remains unknown.

The PM has ruled out using them for going to the pub or supermarket but the Government is currently trialling a similar system for larger events such as concerts, sports matches and club nights.

Stop Press: The NHS mobile app, which is in line to be used as a vaccine passport for overseas travel, may not be ready in time for when holiday restrictions (partially) ease on May 17th, according to Metro.

The language of this article is all wrong. For example: “a Government mobile app is being used to allow vaccinated people to visit bars and nightclubs.” No, the purpose of these social activity permits is to prevent certain people from visiting bars and nightclubs.

Use of the title “vaccine passport” is also playing for the other side. We are cosily familiar with the notion of passports and many of us rather fond of them, given their association with pleasurable holidays abroad. You can bet all this has been discussed and approved by the Behavioural Science totalitarians on SAGE. We should call them permits or licences – Toby’s site could do a lot of good by popularising properly descriptive names e.g. attendance licences or similar. They are not enablers of freedom. They are the continuation of lockdown by another name and fully part of Lockdownism as an ideology.

Where’s the anger at what is being done to us?

This is true but it is a de facto banishment of the “public” sphere and of public social interaction. The people of a nation under this system are also no longer a unified national grouping, so in essence it is also a de facto abolition of nationality. Even under a strict class system you could technically interact in any public space. This is more like a caste system in social terms.

Public spaces are a prerequisite for public socialising and meeting. If you don’t have that society is reduced to a large government/corporate controlled mass and a series of private “clubs”.

Yes. It is a caste system. A division of clean and unclean, worthy and unworthy, good and bad. If the over 50s amount to 31 million people and 90% of them have been vaccinated that means there are 3 million over 50s unvaccinated, it’s quite a number and their friends will stand with them

Compliant from non compliant.

But a lot of things don’t add up … only the over 50s and vulnerable will need the 3rd vaccination and by December so perhaps 6 or 7 months after their last injection and because of variants, but seemingly the young won’t need a third because the rates of infection will be low. But then children are to be injected. Then we have seychelles article telling of infections rising. None of this makes any sense?

Don’t try to make sense of it other than to point out the idiocy to others, it isn’t meant to make sense.

I agree that a lot will stand with those who aren’t vaccinated for whatever reason. I know of far more people who’ve been vaccinated for convenience than for moral reasons. Those who fetishise vaccines and have an authoritarian bent I can count on one hand. This is quickly going to become a battle about digital IDs, rights, control, property and ownership, nationality, aspirations, even spirituality etc. etc. all those issues people have allowed to stack up but haven’t addressed for the last 40-75 years.

Being vaccinated, or even strongly believing in them, is entirely distinct from passports. This is a vitally crucial thing to remember.

As for Seychelles it’s another example of the fact that we are in a zero-covid paradigm. The fact is that cases mean nothing whatsoever, if deaths are down there simply ISN’T an issue.

That none of what is going on makes any medical or other sense, is a strong indication that we are being scammed. The aim of the lockdowns and all of the restrictions is simply to push us into taking the Covid vaccines, that aren’t vaccines.

It seems clear to many, that the hardly tested and liability free gene based products have little do do with safeguarding health and their real purpose is almost certainly something very sinister.

That is a very important aim of all of all the measures. Firm control will be absolutely vital when the mass of the public one day almost inevitably wakes up to the fact that the “vaccines” are intentionally harmful and that they are in the process of being genocided.

I think anger among vaccinated people will increase. They might have been accepting of two vaccines but now we are talking about a third and this may possibly be combined with a flu vaccine which many may not have taken before. So 4 vaccines in one year just to carry on a normal life? I wonder his many will finally say ‘enough is enough’.

Spot on. And there were at least tens of thousands on the March, not just thousands, if not well over a hundred thousand. For a better idea of politicians and the courts perverted thinking, see this latest verdict and Paul Schreyer’s succinct take on it. Süddeutsche Zeitung: Einreiseverbot laut OVG unrechtmäßig, jedoch weiter in Kraft – Auszug: “Das Oberverwaltungsgericht in Greifswald hat das in der Corona-Landesverordnung vorgesehene Einreiseverbot nach Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und das entsprechende Ausreisegebot für unrechtmäßig erklärt. Es sei willkürlich, da es vollständig geimpfte und nicht geimpfte Menschen gleichbehandele, teilte das Gericht am Freitag mit. (…) Das Gericht folgte der Argumentation insoweit, dass vollständig Geimpfte bei der Epidemiologie keine wesentliche Rolle mehr spielten. Dass sie dennoch wie ungeimpfte Menschen behandelt würden, verstoße gegen das im Grundrecht verankerte Gleichheitsprinzip. Zwischen geimpften und ungeimpften Menschen bestehe ein ‘sachliches Differenzierungskriterium’, das gemäß dem Gesetz ungleiche Behandlung ermögliche, sagte der Sprecher.“ (Anmerkung Paul Schreyer: Verkehrte Welt – dass man Geimpfte NICHT privilegiert, verstößt also gegen den Gleichheitsgrundsatz. Darauf muss man erst einmal kommen. Noch dazu ist das „sachliche Differenzierungskriterium“, von dem das Gericht spricht, weitgehend spekulativ, da weder bekannt ist, wie lange ein Impfstoff schützt, noch inwieweit er Übertragungen von Viren durch Geimpfte verhindert.… Read more »

It’s a form of coercion to exclude the unvaccinated from normal life. It’s another way of putting pressure on people to get vaccinated to get their freedom back. The government can’t make it mandatory, but they’ll do everything short of that.

Liz Truss said they were aiming to eradicate the virus.
As Julia Hartley Brewer said, it’s only been done once, with smallpox, and it took 40 years.

Smallpox is not SARS-COV-19. It has well defined symptoms. It doesn’t need a PCR test to verify if you have it. It’s not a respiratory infection with a fatality rate of less than 1%. Influenza hasn’t been eradicated, or the common cold. What makes them think they can eradicate this virus??

Vaccine passports will last for the duration of incumbent governments, or in the worst case until the end of the civil unrest which is imminent across all of Europe.

COVID Vaccines: Necessity, Efficacy and Safetyhttps://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2021/05/03/covid-vaccines-necessity-efficacy-and-safety/ By Doctors for COVID Ethics April 30, 2021 Abstract: COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers have been exempted from legal liability for vaccine-induced harm. It is therefore in the interests of all those authorising, enforcing and administering COVID-19 vaccinations to understand the evidence regarding the risks and benefits of these vaccines, since liability for harm will fall on them. In short, the available evidence and science indicate that COVID-19 vaccines are unnecessary, ineffective and unsafe. Necessity: Immunocompetent individuals are protected against SARS-CoV-2 by cellular immunity. Vaccinating low-risk groups is therefore unnecessary. For immunocompromised individuals who do fall ill with COVID-19 there is a range of medical treatments that have been proven safe and effective. Vaccinating the vulnerable is therefore equally unnecessary. Both immunocompetent and vulnerable groups are better protected against variants of SARS-CoV-2 by naturally acquired immunity and by medication than by vaccination. Efficacy: Covid-19 vaccines lack a viable mechanism of action against SARS-CoV-2 infection of the airways. Induction of antibodies cannot prevent infection by an agent such as SARS-CoV-2 that invades through the respiratory tract. Moreover, none of the vaccine trials have provided any evidence that vaccination prevents transmission of the infection by vaccinated individuals; urging… Read more »

Continued …. … … Population survival of COVID-19 exceeds 99.8% globally [20–22]. In countries that have been intensely infected over several months, less than 0.2% of the population have died and had their deaths classified as ‘with covid19’. COVID-19 is also typically a mild to moderately severe illness. Therefore, the overwhelming majority of people are not at risk from COVID-19 and do not require vaccination for their own protection. In those susceptible to severe infection, Covid-19 is a treatable illness. A convergence of evidence indicates that early treatment with existing drugs reduces hospitalisation and mortality by ~85% and 75%, respectively [23–27]. These drugs include many tried and true antiinflammatory, antiviral, and anticoagulant medications, as well as monoclonal antibodies, zinc, and vitamins C and D. Industry and government decisions to sideline such proven treatments through selective research support [24], regulatory bias, and even outright sanctions against doctors daring to use such treatments on their own initiative, have been out of step with existing laws, standard medical practice, and research; the legal requirement to consider real world evidence has fallen by the wayside [28]. The systematic denial and denigration of these effective therapies has underpinned the spurious justification for the emergency use… Read more »

3. The vaccines are dangerous  Just as smoking could be and was predicted to cause lung cancer based on first principles, all gene-based vaccines can be expected to cause blood clotting and bleeding disorders [33], based on their molecular mechanisms of action. Consistent with this, diseases of this kind have been observed across age groups, leading to temporary vaccine suspensions around the world — The vaccines are not safe. Contrary to claims that blood disorders post-vaccination are “rare”, many common vaccine side effects (headaches, nausea, vomiting and haematoma-like “rashes” over the body) may indicate thrombosis and other severe abnormalities. Moreover, vaccine-induced diffuse micro-thromboses in the lungs can mimic pneumonia and may be misdiagnosed as COVID-19. Clotting events currently receiving media attention are likely just the “tip of a huge iceberg” [34] — The vaccines are not safe. Due to immunological priming, risks of clotting, bleeding and other adverse events can be expected to increase with each re-vaccination and each intervening coronavirus exposure. Over time, whether months or years [35], this renders both vaccination and coronaviruses dangerous to young and healthy age groups, for whom without vaccination COVID-19 poses no substantive risk. Since vaccine roll-out, COVID-19 incidence has risen in numerous… Read more »

4. Ethics and legal points to consider

  1. Conflicts of interest abound in the scientific literature and within organisations that recommend and promote vaccines, while demonising alternate strategies (reliance on natural immunity and early treatment).
  2. Authorities, doctors and medical personnel need to protect themselves by evaluating the sources of their information for conflicts of interest extremely closely. Authorities, doctors and medical personnel need to be similarly careful not to ignore the credible and independent literature on vaccine necessity, safety and efficacy, given the foreseeable mass deaths and harms that must be expected unless the vaccination campaign is stopped.
  3. Vaccine manufacturers have exempted themselves from legal liability for adverse events for a reason. When vaccine deaths and harms occur, liability will fall to those responsible for the vaccines’ authorisation, administration and/or coercion via vaccine passports, none of which can be justified on a sober, evidence-based risk-benefit analysis.
  4. All political, regulatory and medical actors involved in COVID-19 vaccination should familiarise themselves with the Nuremberg code and other legal provisions in order to protect themselves.

The, scientifically totally unfounded and objectively actually completely wrong, official narrative now is that (only) the gene therapies cut transmission and that/because the herewith jabbed are less infectious, aka that the unjabbed are dangerous.

See the German court verdict, based upon a (non-published and non-existing) RKI ‘verdict’ and tge CDC recent perverse decision to restrict the ct number for PCR tests of jabbed people only to 28.
They have gone completely rogue, shameless, post-factual and absurd now.

Another contradiction by the so-called experts who keep stating – without evidence – that cycle threshold correlates with infectiousness. If so then jabbed people would surely need their PCR tests run at a higher number of cycles because they are less infectious/have less virus in them.
But even supreme overlord Anthony Fauci is on record saying PCR results beyond 35 cycles are worthless.
We try to use the available science on their terms to prove the pandemic is a fraud, but even our ‘evidence’ is based on worthless PCR testing.
It’s all a total joke.
