Papers please?

Just in time for Thanksgiving

AAA has announced that holiday travel this Thanksgiving will likely exceed pre-Covid levels. This should be great news, but…government. Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the plane, world leaders at the G20 conference decided you’re not worthy. As if to put a fine point on it, the White House issued a declaration stating:

We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods, under the framework of the IHR (2005), to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital solutions and non-digital solutions, including proof of vaccinations.

That’s right folks! From the people who brought you the most debilitating “vaccine” of all time comes…you guessed it…international vaccine passports! If you want to travel outside the country, in true 1940s East German fashion, you will need to produce your papers (or perhaps a digital “vaccine passport”). Don’t want to take the jab? Guess you can’t visit your family overseas. Wouldn’t it be worth it though? I mean, what’s a little myocarditis when compared to spending time with family? Isn’t family more important? It’s not like myocarditis will keep you from them.

Oh, so you don’t believe the shots are dangerous? Under court order, the CDC has been forced to produce data from its v-safe database, which has been tracking approximately 10 million users. Of those, almost 800,000 had reactions to the shot that required medical intervention, an emergency room visit, or hospitalization. This is usually the kind of data you expect to see on those crazy alt-right conspiracy theory sites, right? Except this information is from a local CBS station in Huntsville, AL: https://whnt.com/business/press-releases/cision/20221003NY91863/cdcs-covid-19-vaccine-v-safe-data-released-pursuant-to-court-order/. According to that same article, v-safe is tracking less than 4% of Americans who have received the shots. The article also links to a v-safe dashboard (https://icandecide.org/v-safe-data/) that estimates approximately 3 million adverse events combined from just the Moderna and Pfizer shots. If this is tracking less than 1/25th of the people who have been jabbed, how many more people have experienced severe side effects?

But…safe and effective, right? After all, the White House declaration says, “We recognize that the extensive COVID-19 immunization is a global public good and we will advance our effort to ensure timely, equitable and universal access to safe, affordable, quality and effective vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics (VTDs).” There you have it. What’s to worry about?

Of course, they’d never consider, once this is in place, applying it to domestic travel, right?

So, if you’re planning in the near future to visit relatives, or travel on business for that matter, in another country, what can I say? You’d better roll up your sleeve, and be prepared to present your papers please.
