Travel restrictions are disrupting international trade and holding back recovery from the trillions of dollars the pandemic has added to world debt. To stem the damage and open up the world safely, we need a global vaccine certification system — an undertaking that would require the political leadership that only the Group of 20 can provide.
The first time I brought up Tony Blair was in my January article concerning him urging Prime Minister Boris Johnson to create a global coronavirus vaccine passport. Since late last year, I’ve been keeping a close watch on this type of news as the direction we’re now heading is an expected one. We shouldn’t be surprised to see an increased call for global systems to be put in place.
The New York Times article delves into various problems that have arisen out of the global pandemic, namely a sharp decrease in travel and disruption of international trade. The solution that’s presented? A “global vaccine certification system”. This “solution” has been something I’ve discussed in the below articles as well.
The solution lies in the global certification of effective vaccines for travel…This could be accomplished by a seamless, global, data-driven system to recognize vaccines for travel, track their changing effectiveness and certify a person’s vaccination and possible booster status. (The New York times)
They delve into how this could work by listing what would be needed: “an interoperable, cross-border data system so countries can exchange information, and a global coordinated program in which countries recognize vaccines for travel that have not been approved by their domestic regulatory systems,” (The New York Times). They go on to mention the Good Health Pass Collaborative which I’ve done a previous article on in the past as well.
As I’ve stated in previous articles, the main problem with the varying vaccines passports created by separate nations is how we’d get them to work together. It’s a solution to this issue that is being posed in this article and many like it. We’re going to continue seeing a call for efforts to get together to create a set of standards that will work globally.
The Good Health Pass Collaborative, a consortium of digital health credentials providers, has developed a set of technical standards for digital vaccine and health passes. These should be adopted by the global community. The QR code on these health passes should have the capability to work across the world. We believe the Group of 20 can become the gatekeepers of these standards to assure they work globally while protecting people’s privacy. (the new york times)
Ultimately I believe this type of system that’s being worked towards is both laying the groundwork for and conditioning people to be ready for what’s coming down the line – the mark of the beast. From what we read in Revelation 13:16-17, the Antichrist will have control over everyone on earth and the only way that could be achieved is through a global system and we are seeing this being set up now whether it’s through this vaccination passport system, digital currency, or just plain global governance.
From scripture, we’re clearly given the context as to when the mark of the beast will come to ultimate fruition – during the 7 year tribulation. Before the tribulation even starts, the antichrist must first be revealed and confirm a covenant for a “week” (7 years).
Until the “beast” himself shows up on the world stage, there will be no mark of the beast. However, as we see technology and ideas that seem to be laying the groundwork for the mark of the beast system, it should show us how close this portion of the bible is to being fulfilled, and even closer, the rapture of the church.
We Need to Start Traveling Again. Here’s How.
The New York Times: Admirable attempts to reopen borders have been made, but these have often been piecemeal, unilateral and transitory. Frequent changes to entry protocols have left passengers confused, while mandatory quarantines and multiple tests are prohibitively expensive and impractical, and not necessarily science-driven. This is not a sustainable model, given that we will be living alongside Covid for some time.
Consider the evidence. Restrictions have delivered a hammer blow to global tourism, an industry responsible for one in 10 jobs around the world, and risk causing wider and deeper damage. Businesses are unable or reluctant to send employees to other countries to meet customers, stifling innovation and straining relations.
And on Monday, the European Union removed the United States from its list of countries whose residents are deemed safe to enter the union’s 27 nations without quarantine and testing requirements, though it is up to each member state whether to follow the restrictions.
The solution lies in the global certification of effective vaccines for travel. We know vaccines can significantly reduce the likelihood of infection and transmission, and it is a testament to global science that we have developed vaccines and administered some 5.2 billion doses so quickly. But without recognition of these vaccines across borders and the ability of people to prove their vaccinated status, this progress will not result in easier travel.
This could be accomplished by a seamless, global, data-driven system to recognize vaccines for travel, track their changing effectiveness and certify a person’s vaccination and possible booster status.
This requires two things: an interoperable, cross-border data system so countries can exchange information, and a global coordinated program in which countries recognize vaccines for travel that have not been approved by their domestic regulatory systems. This would allow individuals who have received effective vaccines to travel to any country that recognizes that vaccine for travel purposes.
The Good Health Pass Collaborative, a consortium of digital health credentials providers, has developed a set of technical standards for digital vaccine and health passes. These should be adopted by the global community. The QR code on these health passes should have the capability to work across the world. We believe the Group of 20 can become the gatekeepers of these standards to assure they work globally while protecting people’s privacy. Read More
