Is it possible the United States will lock down again? Is it possible public officials will seek to hold us captive without due process?

The World Health Organization and European Union have officially teamed up to end the freedom to travel as we know it. The EU boasts that its version of vaccine passports issued during the COVID plandemic was “a crucial element” in reopening the European economies and society. A digital smartphone application, the “Green pass” publicly displayed the subscriber’s private medical records relating to covid vaccination by displaying the subscriber’s name, date of birth, and vaccination brand and doses, and bearing a QR code to avoid fraud.

Despite this tautological brag that the pass had any impact on reopening Europe “safely,” we know the vaccines had not been tested for efficacy at the time these vax-passes were introduced. Janine Small, executive for Pfizer, testified before the European Union’s covid committee that the pharmaceutical company had never tested their product for transmission reduction prior to introducing it onto the market: 

“Did we know about it stopping immunization* before it entering the market? No! These–um, you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market; and from that point of view, we had to do everything at risk.”

*Ironically, Small said stopping immunization in reply to MEP Robert Roos’s question about whether the mRNA vaccine by Pfizer was ever tested for “stopping the transmission of the virus.” Data now publicly available demonstrates that the vaccines not only do nothing to prevent transmission, but they actually cause infection. Perhaps Small’s choice of words was not erroneous in response to the question, but rather a slip of the tongue already knowing the vaccine would suppress vaccinated patients’ immune systems, leaving them vulnerable to future infections.

Claiming the vax-pass supports the “free movement of citizens and residents,” the EU member states first primarily required the proof of vaccination application for air travelers. In this context, the governing agency admits that the vax-pass is a “tool to verify compliance with restrictions of free movement…” Nothing spells freedom like complying with restrictions on freedom!

The citizens of the EU did not all welcome the vax-pass for the obvious medical apartheid against unvaccinated persons and liberticide. Protests against the measure broke out across the continent when it was introduced, challenging the legitimacy of government action that compelled individual medical decisions and penalized those who would not or could not vaccinate.

Traditionally under US law, information about an individual’s medical treatments were considered private. However, the Office of Civil Rights issued guidance in 2020 that authorized disclosure of those private records for “public health purposes,” without the consent of the patient. Although the US federal government did not press for a digital vaccination passport, many businesses and public venues across the nation like restaurants required proof of vaccination to enter, and certain states allowed the vax-pass practice. 

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo launched in 2021 Excelsior Pass Plus, which collected and still maintains proof of vaccination for more than 11 million New Yorkers. Recently, Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration announced it would end the program due to “reduced demand.” Although the state claimed participation was voluntary, New Yorkers were denied the ability to attend and participate in the reopening of the state without proof of vaccination. More than 150,000 businesses used the app to exclude unvaccinated patrons.

Certainly, lockdown restrictions on movements drove people to make desperate decisions that would otherwise have caused pause before acting–most especially choosing to get vaccinated. When New York instituted the Excelsior Pass, New Yorkers aching to reunite with family members and socialize in public once more jumped to download the app and shout to anyone who required it that they complied with vaccine mandates. 

The app ended up causing more distress despite it being advertised as the solution to lockdowns. For example, Spectrum Local News reported users’ vaccination proof were not updating quickly on the app. As a result, one user feared that she “was going to be under house arrest” and lamented that she would be “shut out.” The state minimized the anxiety these users felt by telling the press, “User questions are expected.” 

The ever-compliant users who feared being under house arrest when the app was not functioning did not even consider that using the app is more like wearing an ankle-monitor than the lockdowns themselves: always being tracked, data being collected, QR codes being scanned, fear that the app will not work and the “authorities” will deny you the privileges to which you have grown accustomed and crave. Moving about, yet still a prisoner–still not free.
