Internal UK government job ad confirms COVID passports are in development
South Dakota’s governor said on April 21 that she has taken executive action to ban the use of digital or paper documentation that enables people to show proof that they’ve been vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.

Students Rally Against Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccines at NJ University: ‘They’re Going to Keep Moving the Goalposts’
BY ELLA KIETLINSKA May 24, 2021
Hundreds of Rutgers University students and their parents held a rally on the university’s New Brunswick, New Jersey, campus on May 21 to speak out against the school’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students.
For “mega” outdoor events with more than 10,000 individuals, California Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly said the state will recommend that venue operators verify vaccinations and negative tests. For those who are unvaccinated or cannot provide a negative test, they will only be allowed entrance if wearing a mask, Ghaly added.
“We will be laying out pretty clear recommendations and guidelines on how that vaccine verification and negative testing can occur,” Ghaly said during a press conference. “There is an option to have it be by self-attestation, and we will go into the details of what that self-attestation methodology can look like for the vendors through our CDPH postings on this issue.”
In indoor venues, Ghaly said, the threshold is reduced to 5,000 individuals and verification will be required, not recommended, at these “mega” events. There will not be an option to enter the venue for those without a vaccination or negative test, even if they wear a mask.
Israel has proven to the world that vaccine passports do not work, according to five Israeli professors in the fields of medicine and ethics. The professors claim the vaccine passports are an affront to civil liberties and cause segregation and discrimination, which in turn make even pro-vaccination people resent it.
In an opinion piece published in The Telegraph, five professors opined that the world should learn from Israel that vaccine passports do not work.
“As professors in Israel’s medical sphere, we’ve found passes to be irreconcilable with basic principles of the medical profession,” they wrote. ...
Businesses such as bars and restaurants, and entertainment venues such as theaters were ordered not to allow people who did not have the Green Pass. In some public spaces, like the Tel-Aviv beach, there were areas designated for the “vaccinated only,” and others for the unvaccinated. The result was a country divided into two; an “upper class” of vaccinated people, and a “lower class” of unvaccinated people.
“The Green Pass was promoted with a clear message: getting the shot is the right choice. Those who refuse it are immoral, therefore, and excluding them is legitimate. The campaign to promote vaccination was often scientifically inaccurate and ethically questionable, exaggerating the danger posed by the virus to the lowest risk groups such as young, healthy students,” the professors wrote.
They added that the pass created an atmosphere of intolerance. Companies fired staff who refused to get vaccinated, universities refused to allow unvaccinated students to attend in-person lectures, unvaccinated teachers were publicly blasted, and even a renowned researcher was not allowed to attend a conference he helped arrange. So, individuals who cannot be vaccinated for clinical reasons have no way to go back to “normal” life.
Interestingly, the Green Pass is also driving people, especially the youth, to refuse the vaccines.
“The coercive measures had a paradoxical effect. Traditionally, the Israeli public has a remarkably high adherence to routine vaccinations. However, the heated debate related to the Green Pass, along with public shaming, has led to resentment and anger.
The professors also pointed out the privacy violations that come with digital vaccine certification. Each time someone with the Green Pass enters a venue, it is scanned and the information recorded in a national database. A form of proof identity is also required to verify that the Green Pass belongs to the individual holding it. The process violates “both location-privacy and medical confidentiality.”
They continued to argue that vaccine passports are not supported by science, since the risk of a vaccinated person getting infected by an unvaccinated person is low, with the most likely outcome being a “very mild self-limiting disease.” ...
The professors, therefore, warned against vaccine passports because Israel has shown that:
“Coercion has replaced autonomy, punishment has replaced compassion, checkpoints have replaced confidentiality, segregation has replaced inclusion.”
Many in the country are realizing the negative consequences of the Green Pass, and there are already a few appeals in the Supreme Court to declare the passes disproportionate.
Vaccine passport is a form of control and enslavement.
DeSantis Says He’ll ‘Enforce Florida Law’ Against Vaccine Passports After Cruise Line Unveils Plans
Freedom lovers in France are protesting the recently announced digital COVID passport program to gain access to malls, cinemas, bars, and restaurants and more.
President Emanuel Macron’s government announced the controversial new rules this week.
But residents are opposing the new rules, especially the one requiring them to prove their COVID-19 status with an app to access entertainment venues.
There were multiple protests in French cities, including Paris, Marseille, and Montpellier. In Paris, Police clashed with protesters, firing tear gas on several occasions. Some groups of protesters were seen overturning garbage cans. Another group set a mechanical digger on fire. Some more peaceful protesters wore badges reading “No to health pass.”
Critics of the “health pass” mandate accuse the government of disregarding people’s freedoms, noting the requirement would discriminate against those who are opposed to getting vaccinated. ...
The protests took place on Bastille Day, a commemoration of the day the medieval fortress in Paris was stormed in 1789, marking the beginning of democracy in France.
UK: 80% of nightclubs say they’ll reject draconian COVID passports
Businesses are pushing back.
... However, the government’s plan might not work. In a survey of 250 nightclubs, conducted by industry representative the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA), only 17% of venues said they plan to follow the government’s guidance.
NTIA Chief Executive Michael Kill, said: “At this rate, ‘freedom day’ will be a false dawn for a nightlife sector characterized by chaos.”
He added: “We are hugely concerned that the government has caused yet more confusion by suggesting that COVID Passports are not mandatory while, at the same time, details reveal clearly that this could well be the case in future.

French citizens face jail for not complying with COVID passports
And for business owners, the punishment is even more severe.
Many countries framed their response to the pandemic as a temporary measure. For example, an early coronavirus initiative from the White House that encouraged people to stay home was titled “15 Days to Slow the Spread.“
Yet more than a year later, not only are many of these major democratic countries still locked down but their governments have used the pandemic to introduce further measures that infringe on their citizens’ freedom and privacy.
Government-backed contact tracing apps, snitching websites, and more have all become commonplace during the last year.
Now, governments around the world are pushing a new measure that poses an even greater risk to freedom, privacy, and civil liberties – coronavirus vaccine passports.

Vaccine Passports increase rebellion against vaccines, major UK study finds
A backfire for lawmakers.
If the US gov't relies on private businesses to implement passports, watch the rapid decline of those who actually do it.
We are going through a fascist takeover
It’s true that patriot act was massive government over reach (violation of bill of rights), but 2019, 2020, and 2021 have seen tyranny, election fraud, media collaboration against truth, medical professionals and scientists lying to us, deliberate suppression of life saving information, and mass medical fraud on a scale that makes the patriot act look like child’s play.

I think the patriot act was as evil laying the foundation for tyranny.

They keep pushing and prodding with inane argument after inane argument, until all the good will is dried up, while their smugness remains unharmed. That's right. Bolle (and their likes) is why we can't have nice things. A better platform has to prevent such free riders.

I don't know what the answer is yet, but I do have an idea or three. Anyone heard of any good approaches to getting rid of trolls like these, either locally or globally? Best I heard was Michael Malice doing donation drives for each insulting tweet. Hm... Maybe the FLCCC?

OK then, so it is. This is for my homey Bolle. I encourage all who read this far into the thread, if you can afford to give internet trolling a middle finger by helping out doctors on the front lines to follow along, and if you're feeling brave, share receipts. 🎉

Donating feels good, but not quite as good as when you do it to spite a troll
