As recently as May 2021, those who expressed concerns over legislation implementing vaccine passports were labeled conspiracy theorists. And yet a mere three months later, New York City launched the first requirement for a vaccine passport. NYC now requires proof of vaccination for people who want to dine indoors and take part in other activities like gyms and theaters and for those who work there. The Biden administration followed suit with some of the most sweeping vaccine mandates affecting as many as 100 million Americans — close to two-thirds of the American workforce.
The framework for a two-tier society has been set in motion.
If Vaccines Work, How are the Unvaccinated a Threat to the Vaccinated?
The entire argument for mandatory vaccination and vaccine passports originally rested on the claim that the vaccines could reliably stop transmission. But COVID-19 vaccines are not designed to keep you from catching COVID nor from spreading it. The goal is to reduce the severity of symptoms to avoid hospitalization or fatalities, which appears to be working, but for a shorter time period than originally indicated. Since the vaccines do not prevent catching or spreading the virus, the idea of a vaccination requirement for access to public areas is completely irrational.
Harvard Business School, despite a 95% vaccination rate among students and staff, moved all in-person classes for first-year MBA and some second-year students online this week as COVID19 “breakthrough” cases soar. ( A breakthrough case is described as someone who gets COVID after having been fully vaccinated.)
Vermont is seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases despite being one of the most vaccinated states, with 87.5% having received at least one vaccination and 78.3% “fully vaccinated”.
Israel was the first country on Earth to fully vaccinate a majority of its citizens against COVID-19. Now it has one of the world’s highest daily infection rates — an average of nearly 7,500 confirmed cases a day. Nearly one in every 150 people in Israel has the virus.
The president went so far as to blame the unvaccinated for the inability to curb the spread of the virus. “We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,” Biden said, his tone hardening toward Americans who still refuse to receive a vaccine. The idea that vaccinated people are being frequently harmed by the unvaccinated is a complete fabrication. Why would we blame the efficacy of a treatment on those who have not used it? Since when do you need to wear a seatbelt to keep me safe?
Thousands Being Fired For Refusing to Comply
Nurses who were being hailed as “heroes” by the media a year ago are now being called “terrorists” for refusing the vaccine mandates. Rather than asking nurses why they don’t want the vaccine, these heroes are now being cast as “ignorant” and “uneducated” by the elitists in the media complex.
As Katie Kirn, RN from Michigan says, “We are being forced to decide between risking debilitating injury or death from this experimental vaccine with the highest mortality rate in history – which of course, will not be covered by the manufacturer, government or hospital – or losing our jobs and financial stability. Many nurses are leaving healthcare, altogether. Exemptions are not the answer. We should not be forced to apply for an exemption from a mandate that is Unconstitutional, in the first place. Freedom is the answer. We went from Hero-to-Zero, essential to completely expendable.”
United Airlines is set to fire thousands of workers over the vaccine mandates while police officers across the country are resigning. A whistleblower has come forward to claim that Joe Biden’s administration is about to announce a mandate forcing U.S. Border Patrol agents to get vaccinated by November or get fired.
Meanwhile, no vaccine mandates exist for illegal immigrants crossing our Southern border, members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system, proving vaccine passports are not medical. They are political.
Vaccine Hesitancy
Potential adverse effects from the vaccine continue to drive vaccine hesitancy. As of September 17, 2021, the following adverse events have been reported in the United States following a COVID-19 vaccination:
6,981 Deaths (Deaths from the COVID-19 vaccine exceed deaths reported for all vaccines since 1990)
32,612 Hospitalizations
71,546 Urgent Care visits
106,282 Doctor office visits
1,912 Anaphylaxis (A serious life-threatening allergic reaction which usually occurs within few seconds or minutes of exposure to allergic substances. This involves hives, swelling and sudden drop in the blood pressure and sometimes shock.)
2,495 Bells palsey
1,119 Miscarriages
3,646 Heart attacks
8,088 Permanently disabled
3,123 Myocarditis(inflammation of the heart muscle)/pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart)
Also raising eyebrows, two top FDA officials resigned over the Biden administration’s booster-shot plan, saying it insisted on the policy before the agency approved it.
Natural Immunity
In an op-ed for the Washington Post last week, Marty Makary of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine argues that the medical profession has hurt its credibility in pretending that natural immunity is virtually irrelevant to the COVID equation. Moreover, the dogmatic “get vaccinated” position constitutes a lack of honesty about the data. More than 15 studies have demonstrated the power of immunity acquired by previously having the virus. A 700,000-person study from Israel found that those who had experienced prior infections were 27 times less likely to get a second symptomatic COVID infection than those who were vaccinated. This affirmed a June Cleveland Clinic study of health-care workers (who are often exposed to the virus), in which none who had previously tested positive for the coronavirus got re-infected.
The refusal to recognize natural immunity is a political problem for the Biden administration and a nonscientific, ideology-induced blind spot.
Evaluating Risk
A Gallup study measuring how the public understands hospitalization risk for COVID calculated that the hospitalization rate for the vaccinated population is 0.01% (or 1 in 10,914), and the rate for unvaccinated adults is 0.89% (or 1 case in 112 people). The risk for hospitalization for the unvaccinated is much higher than the vaccinated, but both groups fall below 1%. Gallop surveyed over 3,000 U.S. adults on their understanding of the likelihood of hospitalization after contracting COVID-19 and found that most Americans overstate the risk of hospitalization for both vaccinated and unvaccinated.
The Mark of the Beast
“And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark – the name of the beast or the number of its name.” Revelation 13:16-17
The prophesies from Revelation identified a time when people would be restricted from “buying or selling” unless they complied with an identifying mark. I remember reading this as an adolescent and questioning how that would even be possible? What we are seeing today with the vaccine passport is putting the structure in place to limit an individual’s ability to participate in the market unless they agree to certain requirements and/or restrictions. Once the structure is established, it will not stay limited to vaccine passports. I believe we are witnessing the dress rehearsal for a bigger issue in the future.
Will you comply to avoid being shut out of society? How are you dealing with the choice to be denied access to restaurants, travel and employment now? Do not be deceived. It will not get easier and we need wisdom and discernment.
Stand Your Ground
We are witnessing government tyranny like nothing we have ever witnessed before. No one should be forced to get the COVID vaccine against their will. If an individual determines the risk of contracting the virus is less than the risk of vaccination for them personally, there is no ethical reason for taking a treatment for somebody else. It’s an unethical, immoral, and criminal construct. You can only prescribe a medication for someone who can benefit from it, and it’s up to them whether they take it or not.
People that are pushing back against the mandates are seeing some success. Courts have begun striking down some of the mandates. But we must not wait on institutions and/or the government to end the mandates. It is our responsibility to hold the line now.
Businesses can not survive without customers or employees. If the vaccinated and unvaccinated will stand in unity against these mandates, they will end immediately. You can be pro-vaccine and still anti-mandate.
Speak up now, act now, or forever hold your peace.

Thank you Elaine – very good article. I appreciate all of your research and your willingness and bravery to speak out. I agree 100 per cent.
Another excellent article. Thank you for your time and efforts. And no, I did not see a link to this on Facebook. Like most of the things I post there, it simply was not circulated.
Excellent read. You’re right, it is the framework for something greater. If we don’t stand united we will suffer great losses in the near future
🙌🏼
I am in agreement with you Elaine. Just did not have the time to read it yesterday.
Agree 100%
Thank you for putting all this information in one place!
I have a different viewpoint on this.
Personally, I CANNOT get vaccines of any kind, because I must take fludrocortisone for primary adrenal insufficiency. Vaccines taken along with this medication are known to be high risk for neurological damage. Plus, because I take a high dose of steroids daily for adrenal insufficiency, vaccines are not likely to work for me.
So, as someone who will likely be shut out, if businesses require vaccines, you would probably expect me to be against vaccine passports. But as a cradle Republican, I am all for businesses being able to make whatever rules they want, and letting the market decide whether or not they want to patronize that company. I believe the “slippery slope” is overplayed, as far as this leading to a Revelations style inability to buy or sell. There will always be people willing to take my money in exchange for goods and services, without me being vaccinated. It may cramp my style and keep me out of restaurants and theaters, but I won’t starve.
During the Spanish Flu, which killed my great-grandfather, similar fears were expressed about people’s freedoms being infringed upon. When the public health crisis settled down, the measures being protested were no longer necessary, and stopped being imposed. The only one that remained was prohibiting spitting on ground in public. (Glad for that one!) Few people alive today were even aware of the Spanish Flu before it became newsworthy, due to covid.
I am also grateful to those who have gotten vaccinated, because it gives me protection. Not 100% protection, but a good amount of protection.
I hope that the government will never mandate covid vaccines—or any other vaccine—for everyone, because I believe that is overstepping. However, having it be a requirement for some jobs and some activities still leaves options open for those who do not want to get vaccinated, or like me, cannot get vaccines.
More and more valid research is showing longterm effects for those who survive covid, even mild cases. It should be a personal decision whether to get the covid vaccine, but it seems like a better gamble to get vaccinated, with a much lower percentage of risk vs. getting covid with a higher risk of death, future disability, or adverse effects. I would get the vaccine, if I could.
Diane, Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!! I’m sorry you do not have the option to decide if the vaccine would be of benefit for you due to your underlying health condition. But if vaccinated individuals can catch and spread COVID, how do they give you any protection? And the government is already mandating vaccines for the military, so they have already crossed that boundary.
Medical studies have found that Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines are 88.8-96.3% effective at PREVENTING COVID, after two doses.
Because that leaves a 4-11% vulnerability, it behooves vaccinated individuals to still take precautions to prevent catching Covid. Those who do catch Covid after vaccination are much less likely to have illness severe enough to need hospitalization.
For people who have not been vaccinated, this gives them an 89-94% chance that each vaccinated person they come into contact with is free of Covid, if the vaccinated person has been exposed.
This can be compared to safety measures taken with driving. Anti-lock brakes help to prevent accidents, but they aren’t always going to do so alone, and sometimes they will fail to prevent a collision. Thus, drivers who want to be best protected from injury and death are wise to watch the road carefully (=be cautious about being in crowded places and with whom you spend time in close contact; along with social distancing); keep their car well maintained (=take measures to maintain a healthy immune system); drive a car with built-in features such as pre-collision technology intended to warn ahead of collisions, and safety features such as shatter-resistant glass, stability control, airbags, and car frames engineered for protection during impact (=vaccine); and wear a seatbelt (=face mask); among other things. None of these measures will totally prevent automobile accidents, injuries, and death on their own, but they are worth the effort for reducing the risk of collisions and serious injury or death, especially when all taken together. Airbags have actually *caused* some serious injuries and deaths in accidents. Yet, over all, they greatly reduce the risk of serious injury and death in collisions.
It’s an error of reasoning to say that “COVID-19 vaccines are not designed to keep you from catching COVID nor from spreading it”, based on the 4-11% risk of catching it while vaccinated. It works to prevent catching and spreading it for the other 89-96%. And obviously, unvaccinated people are more of a threat to others than those who are vaccinated, because they have a much higher probability of catching and carrying Covid.
For me personally, as a person who cannot get vaccinations, it reduces my risk of catching Covid by at least 89% when I’m among a group of people who have all been vaccinated, such as my bible study group or extended family. I’m grateful to them for making it possible for there to be less risk to be together.

The government “crossed the boundary” for mandating vaccines for the military in 1777.
Did you know that George Washington issued the first vaccine mandate for the US military?
It was for smallpox, at a time when methods were less effective and far less safe. We might not have gained independence from England without this. Washington was worried that the English might exploit the Americans’ lack of previous cases of smallpox by deliberately exposing the military, and debilitating them.
Since that time, the military has required vaccines for its members. Covid is just one more on what is currently a long list. Anyone who does not want to get vaccinations should not join the military. If there are current members of the military who didn’t mind getting vaccines for tropical diseases, but do not want to get the Covid vaccine, they can be discharged.

Thank you Elaine. I believe every bit of this and understand where this can go. I am happy to say, the people here in Grandbury see the truth and are standing up for their rights.
I pray More people wake up for their freedom. God Bless you
Great article Elaine. Thank you for putting this in layman’s terms.
Thank you for the research and compiling of this information. Your articles are an encouragement to all of us standing against the tyranny and standing up for freedom. It is time to unite and rise up.
Elaine, thank you for your research, then laying out the facts to enlighten all of us. Your courage to speak up and expose the darkness and reveal the truth is vital for such a time as this. This entire article is excellent!
To Diane:
An experimental “vaccine” that:
1) reports efficacy of 89-96% (the stats are changing daily),
2) is requiring 2 ,3, or 4 boosters within one year, possibly annually
3) has thousands of reported and unreported adverse events or deaths,
4) has proponents backtracking that it “lessens disease severity/prevents hospitalization” *,
5) has not brought us to the end of masks, physical distancing, PCR testing (the mental health devastation, the economic devastation),
…IS A FAILURE! Historically, a drug with this record would immediately be pulled off the market.
*The detractors of early, ambulatory, alternative treatments using drugs in combination against COVID-19 claim that people who use “off-label” drugs prescribed by licensed MDs would probably have recovered from COVID-19 without any of these “snake oil” treatments. So… is it possible that “jabbed” persons would have recovered from COVID-19 without the “jab”? I DID. My husband, children, and grandchildren did. We have no short-term disabilities. Any long-term disabilities have yet to be determined.
If the polio vaccine was ineffective in 4-11% of a population of 100 million vaccinated persons, then 4-11 MILLION persons would potentially contract polio with resulting permanent disability or death! Compare this to the reported 700,000+ who have tragically died from SARS-CoV-2 in the US with a population of 330 million. America is mourning the cumulative deaths attributed to COVID-19 since early 2020. I am no stranger to death…professionally or personally. However, America ignores the shedding of innocent blood due to abortion…the lowest abortion deaths since 1973 was 862,000 in ONE YEAR-2017.
The COVID-19 “jab” is produced UNLIKE any other successful vaccine in scientific and experimental history. It doesn’t implement previously effective means of utilizing a pathogen that is: 1) alive, 2) weakened, 3) partial, or 4) dead. It utilizes a technology (mRNA) that very few understand but many are willing to blindly trust in spite of growing evidence of adverse events (cardiac, neurological, and fertility damage) and deaths. Also, mRNA “vaccines” do, like some vaccines and drugs, continue the use of fetal cell research…use of “fetal cell lines from decades past” does not justify the purpose. New cell lines must be acquired for continued research…the claim that human cell lines are “immortal” is dubious. Should others risk their health for your peace of mind? Are other’s reasons for refusing or deferring the “jab” less valid than yours?
While you bemoan your medical exemption, thousands of educated, astute, and discerning healthcare professionals are sacrificing their careers, financial security, and futures to sound a warning to the public regarding COVID-19 “jabs”.
Criticizing the dissent among the US military by expecting us to consider that the American Revolution might have been won due to GW’s smallpox vaccine mandate is asking us to believe in conjectural revisionist history. Also, the use of fear, guilt, shame, donuts, beer, lottery tickets, and exclusion from society to coerce people to take the “jab” is exploitation.
If unvaccinated persons continue to be viewed as “disease vectors”, “undesirables”, “unclean” in Bible study groups, restaurants, grocery stores, businesses, the military, houses of worship, hospitals, schools…then we are a few steps away from forced labeling (yellow stars, armbands, microchips, tattooing) and loading them on trains bound for “detention camps”. We began our descent down the slippery slope a long time ago…
Medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, scientists… are NOT in agreement on COVID-19 prevention or treatment. Each side criticizes the other and attempts to invalidate each other’s research. What is wrong?
But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God confounds the wisdom of men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. I Cor. 1:23-25
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. Phil. 1:21
Believers in Christ, do not grieve as those who have no hope….
I Thess. 4:13-18
