Papers, Please: “You No Longer Have the Right to Say No”

Posted on by

The long-awaited European Vaccination Card (EVC) is finally here — the pilot project is about to be rolled out in five countries. What was considered a “conspiracy theory” a few years ago is now a publicly acknowledged fact.

The following video from The Netherlands discusses the implementation of the new digital vaccination card, more commonly known as a “vax passport”. As expected, it is being marketed for its “convenience”. Some of its notable features are:

  • It can’t be falsified. Unlike the “yellow booklet”, it can’t be faked. Or, more accurately, it will be much harder to fake — you’ll have to pay a lot of money to a technically savvy accomplice (or a skilled hacker) to spoof a digital vaccine passport for you.
  • It will be mandatory. It will no longer be optional; you will have to have an EVC if you want to travel. Yes, that violates the European Charter on the Fundamental Rights of the EU, but we don’t need no stinkin’ fundamental rights, do we?
  • Vaccination records are just the beginning. The new passport will be expanded to include all health data, and will presumably eventually be merged with the Universal Digital ID.
  • Centralized control is being removed from Brussels and transferred to the WHO. Like it or not, the UN is now in charge of the health of European citizens.

An American version will probably take a little longer to implement, but I’m certain the Powers That Be are working on it. It may take another “pandemic” to get the ball rolling. Or maybe a little bit of nuclear war, just to make sure.

Many thanks to Henk for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Video transcript:

00:01   During the Corona crisis, the basis was laid for a European vaccination card,
00:06   with the establishment of the Global Health Certification Network
00:09   which has been managed by the WHO since 2023, and from which
00:12   the first steps are now being taken to roll out a vaccination card in the EU,
00:16   with the technocratic urge to control constantly increasing.
00:21   Building on the success of the EU system, the WHO is proud today to launch
00:27   the Global Digital Health Certification Network.
00:32   So thank you very much to the European Union for the excellent certification system
00:37   that you have transferred to us, and that we have the chance to build on.
00:43   WHO will begin operation of the network today, with the existing COVID-19 certificate
00:50   as a global public good. Soon after, we will expand this infrastructure
00:56   by incorporating other uses such as a digitised international certificate of vaccination,
01:04   routine immunisation cards and international patient summaries.
01:09   At our desk, we have Meike Terhorst.
01:12   Welcome, counselor. This is a fragment from last year, 2023,
01:18   when the road was cleared for a vaccination card or passport.
01:22   How did that come about, and what is it? What is it about?
01:26   Well, at the moment, a pilot is underway in Europe.
01:33   It’s from a European organisation,
01:37   European Vaccination Beyond COVID-19.
01:40   The European Vaccination Beyond COVID-19.
01:43   How old is it? — It was founded quite recently. Yes, it was founded after the pandemic.
01:47   They probably received the money that was still in the account,
01:52   to develop all kinds of vaccination passports and the like.
01:57   This is a European initiative, but there is also
02:00   a WHO initiative in parallel.
02:03   So you can see that the EU and
02:07   the WHO are working together, and cooperating very well.
02:12   The WHO is using the digital COVID certificate,
02:17   which has been developed in the EU,
02:20   with a kind of technological…
02:23   The QR code, the technology, has been taken over by the WHO,
02:30   into that network, and 80 countries are connected to it.
02:34   So the idea is that everyone uses the same technology,
02:39   and that you can’t falsify a vaccination certificate, for example.
02:44   So that the link between someone who has had the vaccine,
02:48   and that it was that specific person,
02:51   is all in one structure that cannot be falsified or copied.
02:56   So there is a link between the WHO and the EU.
02:59   You just heard him: thank the EU. Perhaps an infrastructure has been laid,
03:02   where the vaccination card is now being built.
03:07   That’s comparable to the yellow booklet, right?
03:11   The yellow booklet was pretty innocent. It was just a booklet.
03:14   It had a stamp on it. — Exactly.
03:17   So there wasn’t much going on around it.
03:20   It was just convenient if you had to travel.
03:24   But this has much more attached to it. This is actually based on the fact
03:30   that you can’t copy or falsify it, from a control perspective.
03:36   With the yellow booklet, people assumed
03:39   that if you said you had copied the yellow card, it really was like that.
03:44   But here it’s the other way around. No, it’s made in such a way
03:48   that it’s non-falsifiable.
03:51   So the European organisation is doing a pilot in five countries.
03:55   But what’s strange is that the medical data on vaccination
04:01   is apparently given to that institution by the countries,
04:06   and linked to the person’s number.
04:09   So without the consent of the people involved, a link is made.
04:15   During Corona, that was very different. You did it yourself.
04:20   Exactly, and it builds on… The EU is being thanked,
04:23   but it’s because all EU member states have passed laws
04:26   to ensure that the sovereignty the countries had to control these matters
04:31   has been surrendered to the public health law.
04:34   The first change was made.
04:37   The minister has been given a lot of responsibility,
04:40   who can wield very far-reaching powers during crises and pandemics.
04:45   And with the next change in the law,
04:48   part of that sovereignty is transferred to the WHO.
04:51   So that makes it extra dangerous, because it’s a global network,
04:56   where we lose control of the WHO.
04:59   That raises a lot of questions. — Does it also affect privacy, and how easily that works?
05:03   That’s why there’s a pilot. In Europe, serious steps
05:06   are being taken to introduce a vaccination card.
05:09   For example, the European Vaccination Beyond Covid-19 Project, which you started.
05:14   On the website, we read that the European Vaccination Card, the EVC, is a citizen-held card
05:21   to foster informed decision-making on vaccination,
05:24   and improve continuity of care across the EU.
05:29   We see a prototype of what such a card looks like.
05:35   It looks quite physical, as if you’re carrying it in your wallet.
05:40   That’s possible. I haven’t seen such a card yet.
05:43   I’ve only seen this prototype on the website.
05:47   But it looks like you have a plastic card
05:51   with your driver’s license and a QR code on it.
05:59   And there’s also a prototype that you can put on your phone as an app.
06:04   But the point is that the link between the data,
06:10   which was created without permission, or will be created,
06:14   and that they don’t agree with it at all,
06:21   is that there’s no discussion about it or any answers.
06:25   What data is it about, other than the yellow book?
06:30   At the moment, it’s just the vaccination data.
06:33   But I can imagine that they don’t just do the travel vaccinations,
06:39   but also all child vaccinations. So if you missed one,
06:43   I don’t know what the steps are, but you can imagine
06:46   that if there are no vaccinations, that there will be a lot of pressure
06:53   to get them , or with a new pandemic,
06:56   you’ll have to have your vaccinations to be able to travel.
07:00   That’s the whole idea of the passport.
07:03   That you can only travel if you’re up-to-date with vaccination.
07:07   How did this come about in parliament? Because there’s still a lot of work to be done
07:13   in terms of privacy, etc. To protect that. How much did that contribute to the pilot project?
07:18   I think it’s partly because of the public health law I just mentioned.
07:22   A lot of responsibilities have already been transferred to the ministers.
07:27   Then they went to the EU and concluded this sort of treaty.
07:31   And said, fine, we’ll do that. And in the future,
07:34   with the second amendment of the public health law,
07:37   the WHO will physically transfer more of that power.
07:40   Different links will be forged. And because it can be extended technically,
07:45   it’s very dangerous to see what other things will be added to that.
07:49   Especially if that law is technically legalised at the bottom.
07:53   Can I say one more thing about that?
07:56   In 2018, there was the Roadmap to Vaccination Passport.
08:01   It was started by the European Commission. The Commission also has legislative powers.
08:06   So that programme was started at the time. And this was already part of that.
08:11   Before Corona. —Before Corona, yes. So it’s been prepared for a long time.
08:15   And the whole digital infrastructure was already painted years ago.
08:22   It also has a digital ID, etc.
08:25   We’ll talk about that later. But first, let’s go to the pilot. In several EU countries,
08:28   there are already pilot projects for the European vaccination card.
08:33   This is reported by the European Vaccination Beyond Covid-19 Project on Vaccines Today.
08:37   The European vaccination card will be piloted in
08:42   The European vaccination card will enable informed vaccination,
08:45   according to experts working on the EUVABECO project.
08:48   Latvia, Greece, Belgium, Germany and Portugal will pilot the new tool from September.
08:54   These plans will be publicly released in 2026.
08:57   Extending the EVC system beyond pilot phases and enabling broad adoption
09:04   across all EU member states.
09:07   So they’re already sorting for implementation in the rest of the European countries.
09:12   It’s very clear that the intention is that in every EU country,
09:17   a digital vaccination passport will be implemented.
09:21   In which the EU, much more than the Member States themselves,
09:26   has become the passport issuance agency.
09:30   Close to home, in our southern neighbours, Belgium. What does a pilot look like?
09:33   What do citizens expect? Do they have to register?
09:37   I think it’s completely outside the citizens’ reach, in a way.
09:43   What I’ve seen on Twitter is that in the countries where the pilot is being carried out,
09:49   a kind of preparation has already taken place.
09:52   For example, an app where your vaccination data can be found
09:55   is already in those countries.
09:58   But then a kind of European sauce is added to it, so it’s still connected.
10:04   But in fact, I understand that the passport idea
10:13   was already prepared in all those countries.
10:18   And people can already have that from a national perspective.
10:25   And now they can take that national vaccination passport with them
10:30   when they move to another country, which will be recognised there as well.
10:33   So it’s being thought of as a kind of harmonisation or a normal rule.
10:41   It’s so convenient that you don’t have to look for your yellow booklet.
10:46   The European Commission is very enthusiastic about this, and says that we recommend
10:49   a common European vaccination card. It says that at the moment,
10:55   for EU citizens who move to another EU country,
10:58   it’s often unclear which vaccination they and their children should get.
11:03   Countries have different vaccination programmes and register their vaccinations differently.
11:08   This means that children can get an extra vaccination
11:11   when adults are not needed, or miss the right vaccine.
11:14   The European Commission thinks that a common vaccination card could prevent this.
11:19   A valid argument for a vaccination card? —I don’t think it’s legally correct.
11:24   In Europe, the European Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the EU applies.
11:30   Article 3 states that every citizen of Europe has the right to say no
11:35   to medical interventions, including vaccination.
11:39   But here it’s the other way around. You have to comply with a certain scheme.
11:45   And you no longer have the right to say no.
11:50   Does the European Charter on the Fundamental Rights of the EU give citizens more control,
11:54   or do they have more control over the citizen?
11:59   I think the booklet we had worked fine.
12:03   I noticed that you probably filled in the booklet voluntarily,
12:07   because you wanted to show that you had a point.
12:11   And now they’re making a digital proof to prevent someone from falsifying it.
12:16   So they probably didn’t have that point and wanted to pretend. I think that says enough.
12:21   If you have to resort to such means to show that someone has been vaccinated,
12:27   then you have a duty to prove it, instead of doing it yourself.
12:31   Just like the obligation to vaccinate and the compulsion to do so
12:34   was semi-compulsory rather than compulsory.
12:37   So I think it’s certainly about control and not something for the citizen.
12:41   We already talked about the Summit in September.
12:46   It’s about the digital ID, but also the global digital ID, the European digital ID.
12:52   How does this development relate to that?
12:56   It’s all connected. The UN, the WHO and the EU are all communicating vessels.
13:04   They’re all in Geneva, the UN and the WHO.
13:09   You’ve been there, haven’t you? What did it look like?
13:13   It looked a bit Russian and communist, those big buildings.
13:19   We’ve been there, on the grounds.
13:24   It was really beautiful.
13:27   It was a big demonstration to stop the WHO’s amendments,
13:33   which in the end did occur, as everyone was against it.
13:38   But it was a fantastic demonstration with thousands of people from all over the world.
13:45   Nine other lawyers held a press conference to say
13:51   that the WHO’s amendments weren’t justified. That’s the whole point.
14:00   I want to make it clear that things are happening here
14:03   that are put at a distance from the citizens, but they aren’t justified.
14:08   Because it’s about medical data. How do you protect privacy?
14:12   Exactly. So the UN wants to link the bank data to the personal data.
14:17   But that’s not possible if you don’t get permission from those involved.
14:21   They’re doing things you can’t legally do.
14:24   But because it’s so complex, people find it hard to climb on the barricades.
14:31   Is it true that the pilot is looking for windfalls,
14:34   for people who think they see something in it, because they move a lot in Europe?
14:40   That’s the selling item. Easy, with an iris scan.
14:43   If you download the app, there will be a link there.
14:47   Send my medical data to the whole world; I don’t care.
14:50   I don’t care. As long as people read it.
14:53   And what kind of mandate does it give, and what’s behind it?
14:57   It’s at the mercy of the people involved, and there will probably be some.
15:03   I notice that more and more people see that this isn’t a good development.
15:09   I hope more and more people will see that.
15:13   Especially because people need to see the combination of digital ID and a vaccination passport.
15:21   You couldn’t connect consequences to a yellow booklet in the past.
15:25   You’ll be able to do that, David. That’s where it gets exciting, I think.
15:30   It’s no longer about support, but a lot of people are opportunistic.
15:35   Someone wants to go abroad on holiday,
15:39   and will still use what worked so well in the pilot.
15:43   And he thinks, I can’t go on holiday, so I’ll just do it.
15:46   Or to McDonald’s; I’ve seen it all.
15:49   So I can see where the pilot ends.
15:52   How long will the pilot last, Meike? —I think by 2026,
15:58   the idea was to roll it out all across Europe.
16:03   So I expect that by that time, it will be delivered, the way it went with the pilot.
16:11   Thank you, Meike Terhorst. We’ll keep following it.

  3. But with free movement of people in the EU as a ‘proud achievement’ of the EU Commissars – how can such a Vaccine Passport be used? There are no border controls between EU mamber states that are in the Schengen system so there is nowhere that this passport can be shown.

    If I, in the UK, want to travel to Paris by Eurostar (which I don’t as Paris & France are too dangerous) I could, presumably, travel out to Paris but if I try to return and I don’t have this passport then I can’t travel back home?

    • For now. I saw a lot of EU flags waving at The Last Night of the Proms in Royal Albert Hall earlier tonight.

      Remoaners are like some people on the lifeboats that left Titanic; they look back from the cold, dark night close to the waves and see the lights still on, and try to convince everyone it would surely be better to be on that warm, unsinkable ship.

  5. This is why I still have all my guns!
    The people implementing this have no idea how it’s going to go in this US. They absolutely will pull another pandemic, weaponize the seasonal flu again, and send out their masses to fight amongst each other.
    No, this time there will be bodies, and the enforcers will learn quickly to not show up to work that day. Ain’t worth dying for “muh pension” if I can’t spend it!

  7. Well people, BIG BROTHER is now watching you. An insult against all Freedoms-the UK as well as Europe will be living in a very dark totally undemocratic environment. Such authoritarian measures may well bring about resistance measures.

  9. In the Third Reich, 1933-1945, the Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei , or Secret State Police) had absolute police powers and powers of arrest. Ordinary Germans and dissidents alike lived in fear of hearing the barked command, “Papiere bitte!” from a member of the Gestapo, and of being taken into headquarters at Prinz-Albrecht-Straße 8 – and perhaps never coming out again.

    The new EVC or “European Vaccination Card” is being soft-peddled as a convenience and nothing more, but the fact that these will be mandatory and not voluntary, as well as the fact that the World Health Organization (WHO) will have ultimate control over the program, belies the seemingly benign nature of the project – and reveals the iron fist hiding inside the velvet glove.

    The myriad of rules, regulations and laws of the old Third Reich were not merely suggestions; they were backed by the full force of the regime and all of its functionaries.
    Men in vaguely menacing uniforms with weapons, nondescript Gestapo men in trench coats and hats, bureaucrats with party insignia on their clothing, the whole lot.

    Who will be the enforcers of these new edicts? Because all police states need secret police – hordes of them, to make sure everyone is doing as they are told.

    Noted blogger C.J. Hopkins is now standing trial in Germany for comparing these new developments to the era of the National Socialists, and for displaying one of the prohibited symbols of that regime. Apparently, someone within the hierarchy of the “New Normal Reich” as he termed it, did not like that comparison at all!

    Will Hopkins stand before a 21st-century Roland Freisler of some new “People’s Court” while it hands down some sham verdict intended to punish his dissent? Time will certainly tell….

    Events are accelerating as the days, weeks and months tick by…. and soon the hour of reckoning will be upon ordinary Europeans, which will test whether or not they still possess any residual love of freedom or not. They didn’t ask for the test, but it will be taking place, none the same.

  10. I would like to know about any legal challenges to this (or the lack thereof) since it is already publicly and officially known that the mRNA “vaccines” do not protect from infection at all. They just don’t talk about it and hope everyone forgets. Of course, they also don’t say that this is because of Corona specifically. It is an act of empowerment to issue blanket denials in the future.

    The other thing is, is this intended to also apply to incoming travellers especially from known risk countries? Somehow I doubt it.
