"Vaccine passports" are an ongoing project to introduce a mandatory digital identity, while promoting compliance with mandatory injections. Purportedly to reduce health risks, there has been a dearth of scientific evidence about the purported effects, and they have been the subject of repeated gaslighting by government officials.

Vaccine passports were initially termed a "conspiracy theory", although plans for their introduction were already in place in the late 2010s. They were tentatively floated in Europe in late 2020, just before the COVID jabs were released. While the rate of jab uptake was high, they were introduced even as officials emphasized their voluntary nature. However, as demand for jabs waned in Autumn 2021, the case for vaccine passports was increasingly aggressively made. Few nations went as far as Austria, which directly mandated COVID jabs for adults.

In 2022, as panic about COVID-19 ebbed, so too did reporting about vaccine passports. However, companies continue to invest in the technology, and the large institutions behind them have continued to move forward with their introduction, such as the EU's renewal of the digital COVID certificate in June 2022. In October in Bali a little publicised meeting of G20 representatives discussed harmonising their approaches with the intent of "facilitating seamless international travel".

Origins

The European Union had plans to introduce "vaccine passports" ready by late 2018 but they attracted little attention until the advent of COVID-19. In December 2019, Israel announced that it would be issuing a "green certificate" to those who underwent the proscribed inections.

The EU project itself got underway in April 2021, a few months after the launch of the COVID jabs. With panic about COVID-19 still at a high level, access to a wide variety of venues was made contingent, by law, on possession of such a certificate. While encouraging some people to submit to "COVID vaccination", this stiffened the resistance of others to avoid them.

Paper documents

Some nations have required entrants hold a certificate of inoculation or immunity to certain infectious diseases, just as the term "passport" would suggest. However, these were international travel documents motivated by health concerns. They should therefore not be confused with the ongoing project, confusingly also termed "vaccine passports", which is a component of the nascent global control grid.

In 2021, printed certificates were initially co-equal although the modern project was always focused on mass surveillance through digital technology such as smartphones. By February 2022, a Forbes article stated that "increasingly, a paper CDC vaccination card is not cutting it."

Origins

The Gates Foundation funded ID2020, an NGO declared that "The ability to prove who you are is a fundamental and universal human right. Because we live in a digital era, we need a trusted and reliable way to do that both in the physical world and online." It prototyped a digital identity on refugees.

The European Commission published proposals for "Vaccine Passports" on 26 April 2018. Their roadmap planned a feasability study from 2019-2021, followed by a "commission proposal for a common 'vaccination card' passport for EU citizens" in 2022.

Mission creep

Many voices warned of the ease with which a mandated digital identity could be expanded beyond its stated purpose into "a full ID system – an idea which has repeatedly been rejected as incompatible with building a rights-respecting society."

Interest from Thales

Thales, a large European armaments corporation that also has a digital identity section, analyzed the market and showed interestin the project as a social control mechanism:

“the ambition is huge; both in terms of scale – as it applies to all EU member states – and also in the power it would grant to citizens throughout the Bloc. For the first time, citizens would be able to use a European Digital Identity wallet, from their phone, that would give them access to services in any region across Europe....It gets really exciting when you realise that the wallet can host both digitalised identity and payment credentials. This could allow people, for example, to pay a deposit on a new apartment or settle an outstanding speeding fine directly from their smartphone.”
'

So-called digital ‘vaccination passports’ will play a key role in enabling citizens to access all manner of services and will act as a precursor to the rollout of mobile digital IDs.....Even as we start to return to a sense of normality, this digitalisation of services looks set to gather momentum. This is, in part, due to governments around the world asking their citizens to carry digital health passes to prove they are doubly vaccinated or have a negative test before they can access certain services.

In a different article from June 2021, Thales envisaged:

To facilitate the transition from short-term relief to ambitious redesign of public service delivery, the health pass can be extended into a wide-ranging and capable digital ID/health wallet. Significantly, this provides a secure and intuitive smartphone-based location for an array of digital ID and health credentials.

2021

2021 saw governments around the world, especially in the Bilderberg nations, gaslighting their populations in a variety of ways, on the "safe and effective" COVID jabs as if to nudge the Overton window in the direction of a de facto mandatory COVID jabs and accompanying digital global identity. Psychological warfare operatives were employed and tactics included:

• Widespread use of commercially-controlled media to uncritically repeat the mantra of "safe and effective COVID vaccines"
• Widespread censorship of commercially-controlled media to silence dissenting voices, labelling both credentialled experts and first hand accounts as life-threatening "misinformation"
• Ever changing scientific "facts", scapegoating and promoting fear of the unvaccinated
• Suppression of data, including by government bodies, which was potentially inconvenient
• Demonisation of COVID-19 dissidents
• Gradually limiting freedom of movement according to vaccine status, taking one public step back in the face of serious resistance then taking two private steps forward later
• Introducing or announcing multiple conflicting sets and/or logically inconsistant of rules
• Crafting specific language, or narratives, for target groups to promote policy acceptance

Canada

CBC News was highly supportive of "Vaccine passports".

As with the US, jab-based restrictions were introduced in different states at different dates, allowing for a range of strategies to try to normalise the concept, and to undermine dissent.(Newfoundland and Labrador in September 2021, Ontario on 22 September 2021.

Quite commonly for COVID-related policy, the "opposition" were highly supported of the government's measures in this area, even calling for acceleration of policy (claiming that fake documents were already in circulation).

EU digital COVID certificate

“all EU citizens have a fundamental right to free movement in the EU. The EU Digital Covid Certificate, available in paper or digital format, will make it easier for Europeans to travel...”
Ursula von der Leyen (May 2021) 

The EU introduced a digital COVID certificate which became operational on July 1st, 2021, initially for one year. It declared that “Member States shall refrain from imposing additional travel restrictions on the holders of an EU Digital Covid Certificate, unless they are necessary and proportionate to safeguard public health”. On 13 June 2022, the Council and the European Parliament voted to extend it by another year. It was continually update through 2022.

French Pass Sanitaire

In 2021 France introduced the Pass Sanitaire, meaning that from August 1^st, those unable to prove they had submitted to injection without a negative COVID PCR-test (at their own cost of €49 each time) would be banned from using public transport, entering a cinema, shopping mall, bar, cafe, restaurant and other venues. The law also applies to visiting a hospital not for emergencies and traveling on long distance trains.

People unable to present a valid health pass were threatened with up to six months in prison and a fine of up to €10,000. According to the draft text of the law, owners of businesses did not check patrons' passes could go to jail for a year and receive a €45,000 fine.

Russia

UK

In January 2021, Nadhim Zahawi reassured libertarian Claire Fox that the UK Government had no plans for vaccine passports and that she could hold him to it. By July, this was exposed as a lie.

Nadhim Zahawi, former UK/Minister for Covid Vaccine Deployment repeatedly denied as late as February 2021 that the UK government was considering introducing vaccine passports, although it was making plans to do so, and researching how the public could be persuaded to accept the scheme. In April 2021 leaked documents confirmed this.

On "Freedom Day" it was announced that vaccine passports would be mandatory for nightclubs and large venues.

England

Reportedly planned to be used in England in September 2021, the government dropped its plans in the face of stiff opposition while commenting that they might still be introduced under the government's winter "Plan B". The UK parliament voted to introduce "vaccine passports" on 4 December 2021.

Scotland

They were launched in Scotland on 1 October 2021, to be enforced two weeks later.

Wales

On 5 October 2021 Wales voted 28 to 27 to introduce mandatory Covid passes because a Tory member opposed to the measure could not log into zoom.

US

Kim Iversen: "Vaccine Passports Coming Soon. What You Need To Know."

In April 2021 Jen Psaki, White House press secretary said "The government is not now, nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential". Fauci stated that vaccine passports were not "going to be mandated from the federal government."

By December, Fauci was recommended the use of vaccine passports for US domestic air passengers.

By February 2022, Suzanne Rowan Kelleher wrote that "While the United States government has not issued a federal digital vaccine pass, a national standard has nevertheless emerged." Non-US citizens were barred from flying into the US since 25 October 2021 without proof of either infection or injection.

Resistance

Although social media was heavily controlled, independent websites (such as this one) were a hub of COVID dissidence, and eagerly welcomed first hand evidence which was unwanted by the controlled media. Resistance to the vaccine passport project grew thoughout 2021 as COVID panic subsided, and especially in 2022 after the mildness of the danger presented by the omicron variant — as opposed to, say, the rise technototalitarian megalomania — became clear.

US

Several US states actively resisted the project, as wellas mandatory COVID-19 injection. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law legislation to ban vaccine passports. For this he was smeared by the CCM. Mayor of Boston Kim Janey compared vaccine passports to "slavery".

UK

Opposition to vaccine passports was heard on GB News.

““We have no plans to introduce them” said the prime minister (Boris Johnson) when talking about so-called vaccine passports. “I certainly am not planning to issue any vaccine passports and I don't know anyone else in government who would”, said Michael Gove and “no one has been given or will be required to have a vaccine passport” said the man himself, the vaccine's minister Nadhim Zahawi. Now in a slope slipperier than the ones Eddie the Eagle used to chuck himself off, it seems the government have changed their mind. First it was talk of nightclubs or sports events, and now the government is I quote “not ruling out making students be fully vaccinated to attend lectures”.... I guarantee you this is not where it ends.”
Michelle Dewberry (26 July 2021) 
This was part of the opening monologue on the GB News programme, Dewbs & Co.

Canada

Maxime Bernier ran in the 2021 Canadian federal election against vaccine passports, which were promoted by WEF-affiliated puppet leader Justin Trudeau.

Switzerland

Switzerland is reportedly planning to drop vaccine passports, according to RT.^[When?] Health Minister Alain Berset has signalled to it, in the midst of large protests.

Latvia

From 15 November 2021, Julija Stepanenko and three other Saeima (Latvian Parliament) deputies were barred from parliament sittings by a special law prohibiting elected representatives without a COVID-19 certificate to take part in the discussion both in-person and remotely.

Ongoing efforts

After direct mandation of COVID jabs for adults in a few nation states in 2022 (of which the highest profile was Austria), mandation policies were rolled back, but the legal statues and technical systems were not.

"Facilitating seamless international travel"

Catastrophic Contagion, a pandemic planning exercise in October 2022, concluded that "Countries should establish a global network of professional public health leaders who can work together to improve epidemic preparedness and response and strive for consensus on scientific issues in advance of the next major outbreak". A meeting of the G20 in Bali included a report with a section (s.23) on "facilitating seamless international travel".

Exposure

Several clues emerged in 2020 that the purported "novel virus@ would be used to attempt to introduce mandatory digital identity and acceptance of unwanted injections.

Bill Gates

In an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit in March 2020, Bill Gates was asked about the COVID-19/Response:

• Q: How should we determine which businesses should stay open?

“Eventually we will need some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested (for COVID-19) recently, or when we have a vaccine, who has received it.”
Bill Gates (18 March 2020) 

No evidence that jabs curb transmission

Public acceptance of COVID-19 "vaccine passports" was dealt a severe blow in October 2022 after Pfizer's Chief Executive in Charge of Developing Markets Janine Small, testified under oath in front of the European Parliament's Special Committee on Covid-19. When Dutch MEP Rob Roos asked her "Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?" she replied "Regarding the question around, um, did we know about stopping the immunisation [sic] before it entered the market? No, heh".

Roos tweeted about this the next day, remarking that “This is scandalous. Millions of people worldwide felt forced to get vaccinated because of the myth that you do it for others. Now this turned out to be a cheap lie. This should be exposed." This had been seen over 13 millions when Full Fact attempted to bridge this gap in the story that "vaccine passports" were motivated by a desire to stem spread of the virus.
