Biden and world leaders sign statement to adopt vaccine passports for international travel | National
(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden signed a G20 Bali Leaders’ Statement agreeing to adopt vaccine passports to “facilitate” all international travel.
Paragraph 23 of the declaration is about “facilitating seamless international travel” by committing to engage in international dialogue and collaboration to establish a “trusted global digital health network that should capitalize on and build on the success of existing standard and digital COVID-19 certificates. ”
White House says it supports “WHO’s mRNA Technology Transfer Center” and other tracing programs used around the world designed to share technology, joint research and joint production vaccines, “including enhanced cooperation between developing countries”. It also recognizes “the importance of technical standards and shared verification methods, within the framework of IHR (2005), to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability and recognition of digital and non-digital solutions, including proof of vaccinations.
The establishment of a global health tracing and vaccine passport system is important as an alternative to prevent a future global socio-economic shutdown that could occur as a result of a future pandemic that world leaders say they anticipate. To facilitate this, the White House said, “We support continued international dialogue and collaboration on building trustworthy global digital health networks as part of efforts to strengthen prevention and response to future pandemics. , which should capitalize on and build on the success of existing standards and digital COVID-19 certificates.
In a separate space updateG20 leaders affirm their commitment to “move towards interoperability of systems, including mechanisms that validate proof of vaccination, while respecting the sovereignty of national health policies and relevant national regulations such as data protection personal information and data sharing”.
Their statement followed a B20 summit where a similar sentiment was expressed. To this, the Indonesian Minister of Health, Budi Sadikin offers create “a WHO-recognized digital certificate” to restrict and regulate international travel.
“If you’ve been vaccinated or tested correctly, you can move that way for the next pandemic instead of stopping the movement of people 100% and [stopping] global economy, you can still ensure some movement of people,” he said.
Indonesia has agreed to do so, he said, and will submit its plan to be implemented globally “at the next World Health Assembly as a review of international health regulations”, did he declare.
Similarly, in August 2021, WHO published a “99-page guidance document for countries and implementing partners on technical requirements for the development of digital information systems for issuing digital certificates standards-based interoperable pass for COVID-19 vaccination status…for the purposes of…proof of vaccination. It states that “a health pass based solely on individual vaccination status may increase the risk of the spread of sickness”.
Klaus Schwab, president of the World Economic Forum and architect of its “Great Reset”, has also participated in the G20 and B20 summits. In his book, “COVID-19: The Great Reset,” he suggests that the socio-economic losses caused by the lockdowns presented an “opportunity” to create the “new world order” he envisions.
Schwab, who has attended the G20 and B20 summits, said in his B20 keynote address: “What we have to deal with is a deep, systemic and structural restructuring of our world. And it will take time. And the world will be different once we go through this transition process. »
Mark Steyn with GBNews said it is clear from the remarks of world leaders that they have “taken this virus and the world they have built in response to make it permanent”. After a Pfizer executive admitted that the company “did not test its vaccine to stop transmission of the virus,” Dutch legal philosopher Eva Vlaardingerbroek told Steyn, “everything is now out in the open. Everyone knows it doesn’t work. … It became so obvious that they threw logic out the window.
She also points out that what is being said is dishonest. When world leaders say, “We will make travel easier,” she says, they really mean, “We will restrict travel if you don’t do what we say.”
“The fundamental question” to be resolved, she said, is: “People have forgotten what the state is for, and the state serves the citizens, not the other way around. a population that seems to forget that they pay up to half of their income in taxes…. You are doing this to get the state – supposedly – to do things in your interest. treat like criminals…every citizen is found guilty until proven guilty.
Commenting on the statement, Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Digital health or vaccination passports and track and trace apps pose a serious threat to freedom. Vaccine passports and tracking apps are about data collection and monitoring. The vaccine passport is promoted around the world to limit a person’s ability to leave home, work, shopping, restaurants, travel, attend a public event or even worship. COVID is being used to advance this dangerous threat to freedom. We must never accept vaccine passports or tracking apps as the new norm. The implications for freedom are significant.
Biden signed the declaration 19 months after Jeff Zients, the head of the White House’s COVID-19 response team, vowed that no such policy would ever be implemented in the United States.
In April 2021, he said, “Let me make it clear that the government is not now, and we will not support a system that requires Americans to wear accreditation. There will be no federal vaccination database, no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain only one vaccination certificate.
Six months later, the CDC implemented a COVID-19 vaccination requirement, still in effect, for all non-U.S. citizens who are not immigrants” (not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, resident legal permanent resident or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa)” prohibiting entry into the United States by air unless they “present proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19”.
The policy does not apply to the millions of people who have entered the United States illegally from more than 150 countries through the southern border since Biden took office.
