WHO says it will not encourage vaccine passports

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced that it is not encouraging the use of “vaccine passports.” They put this down to a combination of both “ethical and scientific” reasons. Dr Hans Kluge told a press briefing on Thursday that the use of vaccine passports “should not be a requirement for a number of reasons.”
Dr Kluge explained how the WHO felt that a vaccine passport would “increase the inequalities” between people.
The regional director for the WHO in Europe went on to explain how vaccine passports may also not work for a number of scientific reasons.
He cited concerns over how long immunity from the Covid-19 vaccine could last and worries over those who have been vaccinated still being able to pass the virus on.
He said: “We are not sure yet how long the immunity lasts once a person gets the Covid-19 vaccine and paradoxically if you get the vaccine you may be protected but still you can transmit the infection.”
A vaccine passport also know as a “Covid health certificate,” is a document that includes proof that the holder has had the Covid-19 vaccine, shows the result of a coronavirus test, for those who have yet to have the vaccine, or showed that a person has previously had and recovered from Covid.
Currently there is no universal vaccine passport and so travel companies, individual countries and even the European Union have been coming up with their own versions.
This includes the EU’s “Digital Green Certificate”, which would allow those living in EU member states to move around within the EU. This scheme will also be available to non-EU nationals in countries where travel to the EU is allowed.
Vaccine passports could be used to allow people back into restaurants, bars, festivals, and onto aeroplanes.
However, the move towards vaccine passports has been deemed to be unfair, particularly for developing countries who are not predicted to receive the vaccine for some time after the world’s more developed nations.
Dr Kluge explained: “There is a global shortage of vaccines so this would increase the iniquities and if there is one thing that we have learned from the Covid-19 pandemic it is that the vulnerable people were hit disproportionately.”

WHO should simply tell the truth. The truth is the Nuremberg Code 1947 which is international law.

I rather suspect some governments will adopt and enforce then anyway.

Here in the UK, it looks like government will not mandate them, but will allow corporation to introduce them. Government will sit back and let companies do the dirty work, thereby saving face (n the eyes of the stupid).

‘similar technique with the banning of demonstrations. Government will not ban them, but the new bill being proposed allows the police ultimate discretion whether to ban them. Government again presents the illusion of a non dictatorial authority, sitting back and letting the police do the dirty work.
I am so saddened by the way things have turned out. I am so glad I’m 73 and won’t have to endure this fascist takeover for very long. ‘pity the poor young.
