Countries begin to cancel vaccine passports for people without booster shots

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – As data shows that Covid-19 vaccines do not provide long-lasting immune protection, countries such as Israel and Austria are canceling “expired” vaccination cards and requiring citizens and visitors to receive booster shots to ‘refresh’ their vaccination status so they can continue to “live as part of society.”

These countries are possibly writing a new chapter in human history. Citizens are only allowed to participate in society if they regularly have a liquid injected into their bodies. The average person does not know what is inside the liquid, and may never know.

This is happening at the same time as highly vaccinated country Iceland say that vaccination cannot achieve herd immunity, claiming that can only be obtained through controlled contagions. A scientific study from Israel also shows that natural immunity is superior to some Covid-19 vaccines against the Delta variant.

Citizens are only allowed to participate in society if they regularly have a liquid injected into their bodies, of which one does not really know what is inside - not today and even less tomorrow.

At this point, skeptics question whether vaccination is really still about protecting the population or much more about profits, kickbacks, and commission payments to willing helpers, as well as control of citizens through fear so that profits continue to flow.

UPDATING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE VACCINATED

Israeli data show that the effectiveness of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine has dropped from 95% relative risk reduction during the initial trials to only 39% by the end of July, so the Israeli government is now putting pressure on citizens to take a third “booster dose” by declaring that the vaccination passports of those who have received only two experimental injections will expire after six months.

Israel’s “green passport,” which proves receipt of two doses of Pfizer’s vaccine and allows citizens to participate in ordinary activities such as visiting restaurants, going to gyms, conferences, and entertainment, will now be linked to the date of the last vaccine dose.

“We are updating what it means to be vaccinated,” Israeli coronavirus head Salman Zarka told reporters at a press conference Sunday, August 29.

INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE VACCINE AFTER SIX MONTHS

“This is simply because the vaccine is only valid for five to six months in terms of its effectiveness. After about half a year, you need to get a third dose. Otherwise, the vaccine loses its effectiveness,” Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said as he indicated that his government was considering revoking citizens’ Green Passports if they did not receive a third dose of the vaccine.

“The Green Passport certifies that a person is safe in a certain way. The moment we know that the vaccine loses its effectiveness after a certain amount of time, there is no longer any justification for giving a Green Passport to someone who has not received another dose,” Horowitz said.

EXPIRED PASSPORT

In August, Austria and Croatia were the first countries to announce that they would set expiration dates for older vaccine shots.

They will accept Covid passports from travelers who have received their second dose no more than 270 days before arriving at their borders.COVID-19 vaccines are not interchangeable. If you received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you should get the same product for your second shot.

Fully vaccinated individuals have the privilege of entering the country without the mandatory 10-day quarantine and PCR testing, while unvaccinated individuals are not considered fully vaccinated unless vaccination occurs within the nine-month period.

The move is not unthinkable for the U.S. either, as Joe Biden said last week that he and Covid White House adviser Anthony Fauci would discuss the possibility of a booster shot of the Covid vaccine every five months.

“The question that comes up is whether it should be less than eight months or even just five months. That’s being discussed right now. I talked to Dr. Fauci about it this morning,” Biden said last Friday during an Oval Office visit with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett after congratulating him on his country’s aggressive vaccination campaign, despite a recent spike in Covid-19 cases.

Canada’s Liberal government under Justin Trudeau began ordering booster doses of surplus vaccines in April and has now ordered up to 293 million doses for Canada’s 37 million citizens.

The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Lithuania, and Malta have announced plans to offer booster vaccines to “at-risk” populations beginning in the fall.

Amid these developments, vaccine maker Pfizer raises its 2021 revenue forecast to US$33.5 billion, making the Covid-19 vaccine its most profitable drug ever.
