Switzerland Votes Two to One in Favour of Keeping Vaccine Passports
Last September, Switzerland introduced a vaccine passport scheme prohibiting the unjabbed from entering many public places such as restaurants, sporting events, and cinemas. On Sunday, the Swiss people took part in a referendum on whether to keep the Government’s Covid response measures, which includes the vaccine mandate, with 60% of the public voting to retain the restrictions. BBC News has more.
Sunday’s referendum came after organisers said the pass was an unnecessary restriction of freedoms.
With just under two-thirds of the population fully vaccinated, the Swiss have one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe.
Now, Covid infections are rising exponentially, with case numbers up by 40-50% each week.
From the start of the pandemic the Swiss government has performed a tricky balancing act, trying to introduce measures to control the spread of Covid while still staying true to Switzerland’s system of direct democracy, in which the Government has little formal power and the people have the final say.
Switzerland’s lockdowns were never as strict as its neighbours’. People were allowed outside for exercise whenever they wanted and the schools only closed for a few weeks.
But last summer, with cases falling dramatically, Switzerland didn’t have a celebratory, U.K.-style ‘freedom’ day either.
Instead, a Covid certificate was introduced with proof of vaccination, negative test, or immunity through having had the virus. In September it became obligatory in order to enter bars, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, museums, sporting events, and face-to-face university classes.
But not everyone agrees.
Vaccination has long been a sensitive issue here, especially in German-speaking Switzerland. A belief that natural immunity is best led to a drop in childhood measles vaccinations that sparked a surge in measles cases across Europe.
Meanwhile, in the alpine communities, a historic pride in their own independence rooted, some say, in the time when the mountain villages were cut off from the world each winter, means there is resistance to the Government issuing orders.

There is no hope for humanity if this sort of idiocy retains public support!
Why the surprise?
The main thing holding back humanity’s worst discriminatory instincts is responsible leadership not allowing it.
When pretty much 99% of the leadership of our societies are advocating mass discrimination, what are we to expect?
From day one this has been an abject failure of our political leaders. They are compromised and we are all now at the mercy of whatever sinister forces are driving this.
Humans in the meantime are going to be humans.
it is also about what the public allows… in many ways, it has been deterioration on both parts.. the leaders wouldnt be able to proceed had not the public stood aside and allow it
Its called manufacturing consent. With the right media softening up, the ruling elite can make people consent to anything – even their own democide.
The BBC article was misleading. The referendum was not just about vax passports, it was a collection of amendments to existing COVID legislation, including provision of government help to people affected by COVID and free COVID testing paid for by the federal government. https://www.edi.admin.ch/edi/de/home/dokumentation/abstimmungen/covid-19-gesetz.html
It shouldn’t need saying, but BBC articles need to be carefully fact checked!
Oh that is very clever ….give them a referendum that includes something that most folk would say yes to viz gov assistance for the unlucky and something else for free and then tack on the nasty stuff. So the folk of Switzerland would have been faced with a pure moral dilemma. What a shit show. Maybe referendums are not worth it and are certainly not what they ostensibly seem to be! SHAME on you Swiss gov.
Looks like Gessler the Austrian is in charge in Switzerland, and the spirit of William Tell is crushed and kaput.
Who was counting the votes?
There’s no surprises here, and no need for crude ballot-rigging.
Bill Gates.
Swiss need to catch COVID then, don’t risk the clot-shots THEN COVID
Someone needs to setup parties.
Is mandatory house arrest of those testing positive designed to maximise the clot-shots as the only way of being genuinely immunised (deliberately catching it from a person with it) becomes illegal?
Proof that populist referendums are no solution to any problem requiring information rather than just opinion. The base is too manipulable by power(as often cited, Hitler had popular support).
It’s impossible to retain any faith in simple majoritarian democracy after a result like this – even if you are of the opinion that the problem is with asking the question in the first place.
It’s the same flaw that lies behind the imaginary concept of the ‘free’ market. Almost all markets, in reality, are subjected to capture by power and a lack of comprehensive information.
Well, it may be ‘unfortunate’, but it’s hard to argue that the majority won’t get what they voted for.
The majority have already got what they voted for, let’s see what the unvaxxed have to say about them imposing that on everyone else.
It seems from the outline report above that the Referendum was called for by the unvaxxed, a decision they must now regret.
I’m more worried about the minority having profound ignorance thrust upon them by the majority dictatorship.
It’s been a conundrum ever since the notion of ‘democracy’ was conceived.
The free market is better than the much simpler and less dangerous than 100% bureaucrats captured with a coerced choice for you! As has currently happened with SAGE.
No. It’s much simpler. The ‘free’ market just doesn’t exist. Never did. Never will. Except in extremely limited circumstances.
What we have now is, essentially, a culmination of the market tending to monopoly and elite control of it.
The alternative is not 100% bureaucratic control, which is simply an alternative route to elite monopoly.
Quite so, whatever happened to ‘live and let live’?
Not even a sizeable minority of the vaxxed seem to have voted for ‘ I made my choice, you make yours’.🏳
The result so closely mirrored the vaxxed/unvaxxed split to make this clear unless large numbers of unvaxxed voted to make themselves illegal, ⛓⁉️
The BBC write-up is highly slanted. The truth is that many vaccinated people voted AGAINST vaccine passports. No way do the unvaxxed account for 38% of the adult population in Switzerland. The BBC are twisting things with their use of the word “fully”.
The majority has been led to believe that it’s a zero sum game. Our rights versus yours. Remember that according to official narrative, the unvaccinated are causing the pandemic and are “a minority which is restricting the majority” (nevermind I have yet to find a single unvaccinated person who is in favor of any restrictions). But it is no wonder that if you believe that, you will vote against your “enemy”.
Hitler held several referendums – a little-known fact. Nazism was all about the “volk”. It was after the war, in the Federal Republic of Germany, that referendums were banned for a long time.
Precisely.
Aha! This was a subject remain voters brought up in 2016. The appeal and view of the legitimacy of referenda appear to depend entirely on the outcome!
Like a lot of votes latterly there may have been a fix: Swiss state very dependent on baking trade and various corrupt global bodies – in the last decade they facilitated the settling of GAVI in Geneva https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4078904/The-fattest-charity-fat-cat-Foreign-aid-boss-MILLIONS-1-5billion-handed-charity-British-taxpayers.html
Globalist scoundrels at BeRo and Homepride messing things up for everyone as usual…
Big Cake fixing the agenda as ever.
Banking, of course.
Not Vaccines – they are signing up to enforce the regular injection of genetic code that was literally designed in a computer, that makes the body produce a toxic foreign protein they call the spike protein. Then there are all the technological components which have shown up in the vials, and the fact that everyone is getting different batches and different concoctions, none of which is publicly disclosed. They claim this spike protein forms part of the computer generated Coronavirus ball they show everyone to sell the scam and make it look like some sea mine, but the reality is, they have never shown any proof that such a thing truly exists or causes disease. They have reached this stage powered by chutzpah and bullshit alone. These people who have signed up for this are enemies of themselves, their country and freedom. They are brainwashed. They have been tricked and fooled. They have internalised the word of Satan, and they have become Satanic entities in the process, because if you believe and live life according to the word of Satan the deceiver, you inadvertently become a follower of Satan. Christianity is full of such people. No amount of forgiveness can… Read more »
Given that DS is speaking of the Moronic variant as if it is as good as proven that this things exists and has been proven to cause symptoms, maybe DS could provide the irrefutable evidence that this is legit, not some fairytale from the machine of lies. If not, please can we start introducing lots of caveats, to confirm that when we speak of the moronic variant, we have no proof that this is legit, and no reason to believe its legit, as the info is coming from known liars who have openly stated agendas to change the world and turn it into a dystopian shithole.
Doesn’t experience tell us that it doesn’t matter to the Covidians whether it exists or not? This is all about a lying narrative, not about seeking the truth, and looking at the facts.
A variant that is more transmissible but milder than Delta is something that we ought to be encouraging to find its way here because it would drive out the more virulent variant (which currently is pretty much a monoculture of Delta) and replace it with something of little consequence.
But no, the claimed existence of something that could be a boon is being used for political purposes to extend control and fear.
Before we had genomic sequencing it would have been impossible to pull this off: it simply would not have been known that a ‘new variant’ had been found. It was known that mutations occur, and they are one of the ways of bringing pandemics to an end: herd (natural) immunity to a less virulent strain protects perfectly against the more virulent.
But there are evil forces who don’t want this pandemic to come to an end, and fussing over variants is one way to perpetuate the dystopia.
Sure – theres either no virus or there is a low mortality rate virus which is not at all noticeable to society as a whole. I opt for no virus because there is no defacto proof of a new virus and I know for a fact the people doing this are occultist liars, so for them to be doing this using nothing but chutzpah and assertion would come as no surprise. I have endured nearly two years of non stop terrorism about this supposedly super deadly virus, but I see ZERO first hand evidence of this in REAL LIFE. I have seen so much evidence of crime agenda and fraud, so the notion that the whole things is a staged event makes PERFECT sense. Therefore, on balance, after 2 years of going around in circles and listening to all the experts on all sides, weighing up all the arguments, I am now heavily leaning towards there being NO NEW VIRUS. By now there should be tonnes of proof. There is none. There is just dodgy tests, fraudulent mislabelling of deaths, and literally killing of people who are in care, only to label them COvid deaths. That does not equal a… Read more »
Just to say, that many of the deaths now being fraudulently attributed to Covid will in actuality be deaths caused by the so called “vaccines” that are not vaccines but are instead bioweapons. There will be a great many more of these deaths to come as the mass genocide continues to gather pace.
And, as has been suggested here before, a new variant can be used to cover for the multiple adverse reactions and malign manifestations of the shots.
Mortality rates were in-keeping with the usual trends last year, except for an increase of around 10,000 deaths. As you’ve noted, the so-called hospital ‘bed-blockers’ who were chucked into the care homes and given lethal injections makes up for a bulk of this figure. Add to that deaths from lockdown and the early days of ‘vaccine’ deaths and I think we can agree there was no pandemic.
Considering the ‘deaths with covid’ was totally in line with death by flu in previous years, while flu apparently vanished last year – I think we can see where they got their figures from.
Thing is, this is all documented on DS but they still talk about OMICRON as if it’s a real thing…
Which is why I label this site controlled opposition. There are things which are clearly taboo. “No virus” is one of those things. If youre going to label yourself a sceptic, you had better be a sceptic, otherwise youre just another bullshitter, and weve already got plenty of those misdirecting our world.
Not taboo, as such. If it were so, you would be censored below the line for raising it, as for instance the msm censors “racist” or “homophobic” posts even below the line. That’s how taboos work.
But the “no virus” position is clearly not shared by the owner and those posting above the line, and we do not ever see it represented there. However, it is commonly present btl.
Myself, I think this is the best way to approach it anyway, because having it atl would just make it easier for the site to be dismissed in the mainstream, whereas allowing free discussion below the line permits all theories to be discussed, resources shared etc.
I am no scientist but surely the giveaway is in the statement that SARS COV2 is the result of “gene synthesis and DNA recombinant technology”
Using information gleaned to date – mainly the Baric co-authored report which confirmed that they had used bat/rat coronaviruses to engineer 8 recombinants from which two were genetically modified by GoF technology to produce the SARS COV2 chimera – I take this to mean the the genomic sequence may have been designed on a computer but then assembled “in the lab” once it was clear which part of the genomic code of the constituent “parts” – including the “backbone” inserted at the Furin cleavage site to enable attachment to human ACE2 receptor cells – worked to make the original animal reservoir viruses from said rat /bat transmissable between humans (where the original animal reservoir viruses were not hence why SARS COV2 has never been found between the “bat cave” and Wuhan and it was never found in 80000+ animals tested, taken from the wet markets close to and in Wuhan) and also far more pathogenic.
Not certain I have this correct – happy( a relative term) to be corrected.
So if just over 60% Swiss are vaxxed and 60% Swiss voted to retain vaxx apartheid it must logically follow that just about everyone who is vaxxed has now refused to give up their 1st class citizen status for a bunch of unvaxxed scum. At the same time Switzerland declares itself an openly fascist apartheid country. So where are the UK’s sanctions?
The vaxx is merely to obtain world citizen status – and is harmless if you are granted a dose vial No1 (saline).
Any correlation between language/culture per Canton and vaxxed/unvaxxed?
The only eternal correlation that matters worldwide at the moment (and this cuts across all cultural / state lines) is that in this new vaxxocracy the unvaxxed will never vote to be permanent 2nd class citizens (assuming they even get a vote in the coming years) and the vaxxed will never give up their (alas temporary) 1st class status. And since the vaxxed outnumber the unvaxxed by around 4:1 and climbing we will have a few years of apartheid transition, more emergency rules and then game over for the dwindling pleb unvaxxed.
These poor souls will be left to foraging on the margins of Universal Credit societies from which they are excluded, and probably become legitimate sniper targets in some states. Meanwhile those obedient sheep vaxxed with vials #2 and #3 (see above) will start badly malfunctioning, with even those left with some residual health reduced to doing the menial tasks for those vaxxed with vial #1 (ie the elite unvaxxed).
Ironic really, the unvaxxed elite will eventually inherit the earth where traffic jams will be a thing of the past. All’s well that ends well, as someone once said.
Interesting video. I’m not too sure how the information on batches was obtained or how the particular instances of “vaccine” damage were tied to batch numbers, but perhaps this information is publicly available.
If the information as presented holds up, then it is in itself a damning piece of evidence and powerful indication that the Covid “pandemic” is likely centred around depopulation, using “vaccines” that are in reality bioweapons.
Where I disagree with the presenter somewhat, is in his description of the 80% of batches as harmless. They may well be relatively harmless in the immediate period after injection, but the longer term adverse effects must still be unknown, at least to those not in on the scam. More careful wording would have been helpful.
Free men vote to become serfs.
Still, I’m sure the serfs will later be permitted to vote to become free men again.
Certain of it.
Anyone who takes the vaxx is a serf/addict/beneficiary for life, and will vote accordingly to please their pusher man. The people already voted when offering up their deltoids as guinea pigs to experimental treatments, the subsequent X on the ballot slip is a mere consequence. The cause is the jab, the effect is inevitable democratically induced apartheid and societal/economic chaos. This has been the clear direction of government policy from March 2020, and beyond reasonable doubt from vaxx day 1 (almost 12 months ago), but there will always be the deniers, the collaborators, the beneficiaries and (most importantly) those wiling to believe them – hence the 80% vaxx rate.
Switzerland was the last place to expected to vote themselves along the road to totalitarianism.
Far from using their almost unique system of final say by binding referendum to continue their fine record of resisting tyranny for over 200 years including being, largely, neutral in WW1 & 2 and latterly against the outrageous demands of the EU.
Instead of which they seem to have adopted a parochial and self centred attitude of “if I’ve been vaccinated why shouldn’t everyone else be”; narrow minded, cruel spirited and mean.
I would wish the worst that might come to them were it not for the interests of the one third remaing unvaxxed.
Am I the only person here who went and looked at the actual referendum results? Majorities in two cantons opposed vaccine passports.
And the countrywide figure of 38% (better than the 33% suggested in the title) is higher than it would be in Britain.
Absolutely.
Swiss neutrality may have been cowardice dressed up as dogmatic ‘rationality’ all along.
One thing the Swiss have never been is cowardly.
No disrespect intended, but there’s a first time for everything. This is no longer the land of Swiss pikemen, but the hidey hole of the world’s ill gotten gains.
MORONIC.
You’ll be aware that one of our assiduous researchers noticed a short while ago that adverse events are not occurring randomly throughout the batches & lots of vaccines made by a given manufacturer.
Instead, it appears that just 5% of the batches / lots are associated with almost all the deaths.
Given the tight requirements of consistency associated with an authorised product, it’s absolutely impossible that this is a chance event.
No: this is I regret to say unequivocal evidence of malfeasance.
The new (to me) observations in this document are absolutely extraordinary & upsetting.
In brief, they’ve uncovered striking evidence of what’s called DOSE RANGE-FINDING for lethal outcomes.
There are 4-5 different sets of batches / lots of the Pfizer vaccine, deployed in the USA, which show this DRF effect.
Worse, there is a quiet period between each of the lethal batches, the purpose of which is clearly BASELINE ESTABLISHMENT.

Thanks for sharing. Is this from Telegram? I feel sick…

Yep this is the site.
“Now Covid infections are rising exponentially with cases numbers rising 40-65% each week”.
Surprise Surprise, they do winter more harshly than we do. How’s the old Flu getting on? Just about disappeared probably.
Number of ‘cases’ is neither here nor there, what about serious illness and mortality compared not to last month but the same time perid over the past decade or so?
Well throughout this pandemic all the BS has had public support, I think that’s what makes it so crazy…. these kind of things make me wonder if self destruction is just a natural part of society… what other explanation can there be?
@Luke – Your headline is too gloomy. Two cantons voted to get rid of vaccine passports: Schwyz and Appenzell Innerrhoden.
Is the final result dependent on the total number of votes cast nationally, as with Brexit, or does it depend on how many constituent Cantons come down on each side?
I wish I had time right now to check. I am not sure of the exact rules, but I am wondering whether the federal government will be allowed to keep vaccine passports in the two cantons that voted against them. Cantons have a lot of autonomy.
any ski runs there?
I’m looking for a social credit check free place to spend lots of money snowboarding.
well there you go. As I keep saying, it is PEOPLE that are the problem. The tyranny of the ignorant and fearful majority.
Does it never occur to people that when cases are rising at the rate they are in Switzerland it isn’t people who have not been vaccinated catching it? Logically it can’t be for the simple reason they would all have to be catching it over and over and over again.
Look at the UK where 80% + are Sheep: is it really the 20%, a majority of whom are children, driving cases? The Governments own data shows most in hospital are double jabbed.
This all has every hallmark of the Fascists in the 1930’s. Look at Governments, including our own, silencing anyone who goes against the Government line. Look at the fact they are doing exactly what Hitler wrote about in Mein Kampf: he needed someone identifiable to target and Jews were ideal. Look at the lack of democratic process – the UK Government, which I do not recognise, threw out an edict for face masks on a whim. No debate. No process.
What next? Labour camps for the Unclean?
Bravo to those mountain dwelling Swedes who resist. I imagine them yodeling ‘You can stick your vaccine passport…’ across the snowfields.
So, they’ve got ‘low’ vaccination (66% vaccination compared with the UK at 69% and Germany at 68.5%) and they’ve got rules that say the unvaccinated aren’t allowed to socialise without a negative test.
But cases are increasing by 50% a week.
Presumably they’re all saying ‘imagine how bad it would be if we allowed the unvaccinated to socialise?’
This situation is bonkers — it is clear that the belief in the vaccines is misplaced.
Belief in the virus was too.
It’s good news, folks! That’s an awful lot of people who voted against the covid rules. But more than that: it’s an awful lot of people who will now have to fight tooth and nail to retain their freedoms. Try boxing in a pack of frightened dogs and see how they fight back. Now try it on a million or two people in a small country. This will not end here.
Any fighting back will only serve as confirmation to the official narrative that the minority is “anti-democratic” and trying to tyrannize the majority.
Indeed. But what’s the alternative?
Sometimes violent protest serves to empower the establishment to crush the protesters’ cause (eg striking miners in 1984-5), sometimes it wins (IRA, US anti-slavery, Zionist anti-British campaign).
But when people are officially and actively discriminated against with the force of law, it’s hard to restrain all of them from violent resistance of some sort.
Violence there will be, and as you imply it will be used to justify further cracking down, which will further embitter the resisters. That’s the path the panickers have chosen to set out on, across much of Europe.
And many of those panicker hypocrites would have solemnly nodded and agreed, if you’d suggested to them: “no justice, no peace”, a couple of years ago or in a different context.
This was actually the 4th highest turnout since 1971 (at 65%)
If it had been the normal level of turn out for a November vote (45-50%), the No vote would have had a much higher chance of winning.
If 65% is correct, this means less than 40% of the people eligible to vote were in favour of keeping vaccine passports.
This points at another issue with referendums: People with an axe to grind are much more likely to vote than people in general, hence, the outcome will usually be skewed towards agendas of (relatively) fanatical minorities. Could be fixed by making the vote unary: Whoever is in favour of yes has to turn up and vote yes. If that’s not a solid majority of the people eligible to vote, eg 60% or more, the proposal is considered rejected.
65% is correct

I was hoping the people with an axe to grind would be the people who did not want Vaccine Passports!
Turkeys voting for Christmas springs to mind
I’m finding these sorts of posts from DS very, very depressing. Does it really warrant a whole post that Switzerland has voted in favour of vaccine passports? Are we surprised? This kind of thing is SO sapping to the morale. Are we going to have a DS post every time another country does something depressing? As there are a lot of countries to go…
It might be good to focus on practical means of resisting the tyranny rather than just reading about it, youre right.
After posting this, I posted a subsequent post suggesting things DS could cover. To my horror, for the first time since the site started, my post was put on approval. It has not appeared yet. Hopefully it will be reinstated.
Did it have more than two links? That’s the usual reason for that happening, I think.
Ah, typing as you were typing!
It looks as if my post went on ‘auto’ approval because it contained two links. Apologies. I love DS! (Most of the time.)
So its ok to discriminate against a section of society if a majority vote for it?
Turns out. Who knew?
And the idiots doing the voting don’t realise that divide and conquer means it will be their turn eventually
…
I would call them Fking halfwits, and I may still do so, however being charitable,they have been subject to the-same PsyOps and lies we have. But, bugger me! Intelligent people!!!
On their own heads it will be.
Unfortunately also on the heads of the significant wiser minority, and on those of the victims of the bitter divisions and conflicts this will create until it is overturned, or resistance completely crushed by force.
And on the heads of all of us everywhere.
This just makes the widespread adoption of vax passports globally that much more likely.
A friend just told me the Moronic variant is being explicitly linked with heart damage. Has anyone else seen this?
I just saw racing pulse in someone quite young. It will take a few weeks for them to investigate Omicron and then spin it for the public
Yes – they are linking it to heart inflammation, heart failure and heart attacks. I will try to find the link.
I have just checked the link, and it is not reliable. I do not believe that there are official; claims for this yet.
Just more rehashing of old COVID stories. Eg, vaccine-induced heart inflammation is considered irrelevant because COVID-induced heart inflamation is considered to be more frequent.
