The vaccine passport was hailed as an effective assurance that its bearer had been vaccinated, and could neither contract nor spread COVID-19. But as mRNA vaccines increasingly fail as a shield against COVID, a passport system based on vaccination status can’t ensure COVID won’t spread further.
The State of Israel, which intended to reopen to fully vaccinated travellers August 1, is battling a wave of new and severe cases of COVID-19.
The afflicted are overwhelmingly “fully vaccinated.” Israel stays closed, and authorities are encouraging third shots of the mRNA vaccines. But “vaccinated” and “immunized” have become two different things.
“The more people you vaccinate, the greater the number of vaccine-resistant mutations you are likely to get,” warns mRNA vaccine pioneer Dr. Robert Malone. “The less durable the vaccines will become, ever more powerful vaccines will have to be developed.”
This past summer, Malone’s taken to the media, raising his concerns. “A far more optimal strategy is to vaccinate only the most vulnerable. This will limit the amount of vaccine-resistant mutations.”
The idea that imposing vaccine passports encourages the “vaccine hesitant” to inoculate with mRNA collides against demographic factors. Young adults are least likely to either contract COVID or take the shot.
Blacks remember involuntary experimentation (the Tuskegee syphilis study, severe autism caused by measles vaccination) which cast long memories.
Racial minorities are least likely to participate in medical trials. In New York City, 72 per cent of the Black and Hispanic populations did not accept the shot, do not hold the city’s mandated vaccine passports, and face debarment from public venues.
So for the unvaccinated, Jim Crow 2.0. For the compliant: China’s “social credit” model. SARS-COV-2 arose out of China.
Now, the vaccinated fearful, who “want their lives back,” embrace one step toward Beijing-magnitude societal control. Is this about people’s health?
Vaccine passports cannot ensure COVID won’t spread – the disease has already defeated the purpose.
The best key to travel is to simply test negative. So far, no one’s discussed a sunset clause on vaccine passports. When COVID fades, what is the plan to discontinue them?

No, vaccine passports are not going to completely stop COVID, but, with other factors, would be helpful. I would not expect vaccine passports to be used into infinity, but would be good for a while.
“Severe autism caused by measles vaccination”. You mean the so called study by Dr Andrew Wakefield who has been discredited world wide and whose work is thoroughly debunked?
There are many other errors in this letter. For one, Malones statement and inference should be read in context . Best summed up by the conclusion of contributing scientists and doctors who reviewed the article in the Washington Times: ” Biased, Flawed reasoning, Inaccurate, Misleading.
Makes you wonder where the line is between the right to free expression and protection against objectify false statements….
Now that Kenney has come up with such a brilliant idea to give those who haven’t been vaccinated a $100.per vaccination gift maybe those of us who did get vaccinated should ban together and sue Kenney for $200. each , what do you think?
