New York Launches Nations First Vaccine Passport Program

New York vaccine passport

New York has become the first state to formally launch a covid “vaccine passport” program.

From Friday New Yorkers will be able to pull up a code on their cell phone to prove they’ve been vaccinated against the coronavirus or have recently tested negative against the virus.

Breitbart reports: The vaccine passport, called the Excelsior Pass, is what USA Today describes as a “first-in-the-nation certification,” which will be used at large-scale events and entertainment venues. It became available to New Yorkers on Friday, and the venues that accept it are expected to expand in the coming days and weeks.

This month, the Cuomo administration announced the Excelsior Pass, developed in partnership with IBM, would be tested at Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center.

“We’re doing everything we can to vaccinate as many New Yorkers as possible, as quickly as possible, while keeping the infection rate down and reenergizing our economy in a safe, smart way,” Cuomo said in a statement.

“As we begin reopening the valves on different sectors of our economy, we are putting guidelines in place to ensure individuals attending events involving larger gatherings have tested negative for COVID or have been vaccinated to avoid an outbreak of the virus,” he continued.

“The Excelsior Pass will play a critical role in getting information to venues and sites in a secure and streamlined way, allowing us to fast-track the reopening of these businesses and getting us one step closer to reaching a new normal,” he added.

USA Today reported:

Like an airline boarding pass, people will be able to prove their health status with a digital QR code – or “quick response” machine-readable label. They’ll need to download the Excelsior Pass app, enter their name, date of birth, zip code and answer a series of personal questions to confirm their identity. The data will come from the state’s vaccine registry and also will be linked to testing data from a number of pre-approved testing companies.

The new pass is part of a growing but disjointed effort to provide vaccine “passports” or certifications, so people won’t have to hang onto a dog-eared piece of paper, worry about privacy issues or forgeries, or fork over extra cash to prove they’re not contagious.

In contrast, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) balked at the idea of requiring vaccine passports, deeming it a “terrible” and “unacceptable” idea and vowing they will not be required in the Sunshine State.

“The vaccine passport is a terrible idea. We are definitely not going to require anything from the state’s perspective. That is totally off the table,” DeSantis said during a roundtable discussion this month with renowned doctors and epidemiologists.

“If I have businesses that want to do that in Florida, I think that that’s more than just a private decision,” he added.

“So what form that would take, I’d have to discuss it with my folks. I’d have to discuss it potentially with the legislature. But I think it’s a very, very bad idea,” DeSantis continued.

“Look, if you want to go to a movie theater or concert, all this stuff, go. If you don’t, don’t. But to require somebody to show some type of proof of vaccination, I think, is completely unacceptable, and it’s not something that we’re going to support here in any way in Florida,” the Republican governor added.

  1. I think its a false hope to presume if you get the vaccine you will be traveling much in the future. Were going into chaos either way so a world government can appear from the ashes. The vaccine will be a foundational part of the control they want for the world government, everyone chipped up and monitored from within. Satans time will be short thankfully. Anticipate a massive middle eastern war (mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39 kjv), anticipate a financial collapse so a new financial system can be setup for your chip, anticipate a fake alien invasion to usher in the world king (the antichrist), anticipate food famines and plagues.

    • What are they doing now……destroy confidence in national police, destroy confidence in national government, destroy race relations while increasing immigration (destroying national identities), destroy gender relations, global warming, global plandemic………..people will be begging for the world gov soon.

        • The one thing im torn on is the vaccine, it is not injected in the hand or forehead like the bible says, so this makes me think its not the mark potentially but somehow part of it, but they can inject chips and nanotech through vaccines…….so tough call

          • It’s not yet the Mark, but it’s mentally conditioning people to accept the Mark system. The chips and nanotech will just facilitate implementing that.

          • I agree, but the vaccine should be approached with the same degree of precaution

          • No Dave, the vaccine is not the mark, it is a conditioning of some sort i think. It may be a introduction of a chronic poison to dumb a person down or to take the fight out of him, like what fluoride does to the brain.
            The mark, as i understand it, is not a literal mark, but a choice of labor for Satan, either physically by hand or mentally like computer work or recruiting. respectively this will be taking the mark on the arm or forehead.
            There are similarities indeed, like if i don’t get the vaccine, i can’t work. very close, but the missing component would be Bowing to Satan and taking the mark.
            Remember to watch for the Two witnesses.
            God is sure showing me what to do these days. I am accomplishting things I never thought I could do. I am actually having fun right now, i should be worried and scared, but I am not. I am frustrated when i read these things on the internet, but i don’t take them to heart, because they are most likely false, and i know which side ultimately wins

          • I like what you said there for the most part, but the mark certainly will be physical. It will link the people whom take the physical mark to the antichrist (thru 5g, satelittes and nanotech). I agree with the preconditioning you mentioned from the vaccine, but if taking the vaccine will lead someone to taking the mark by removing their will against it, we should treat the vaccine just like the mark

          • i think it will be Elijah and Enoch. I think those were the two that never experienced death yet, the were taken up to heaven still alive.
            Yes, it is true, i don’t know the sequence of events.
            Regardless, the vaccine is a NO GO for me. God and I will get by, if i have to lose my house and savings, i don’t care. I want the body God gave me.

          • Definetly the Elijah and Enoch thought is also a good one and a strong theory. Your faith and commitment to God is an inspiration to myself and i hope others, thank you! I am with you!!

          • When you put your faith in a vaccine over Jesus Christ, you have already bowed to Satan

          • I don’t agree fully. When you accept the mark, you will know what you are doing, you can’t really get tricked into it. I believe it has to be a well informed decision. I believe it will be a literal oath and bowing to a man or system and in that oath somewhere it will say you reject the Most High in so many words.
            In a sense, yes, taking the vaccine does demonstrate a lack of faith in God, and the lack of knowledge that you will have bits of someone’s baby swimming around in your blood. I have taken vaccines before in the past when I was a minor and a flu shot once in my 20
            s, but as soon as i learned that there were aborted babies cell tissue, there is no way will ever take a vaccine again. I won’t happen. I will die first.

          • For sure, i have regretably taken vaccines before as well, and definetly will not again. I would not be happy if because of that i was sentenced to damnation on judgement day. The thing about that is in Rev 19: 20, it mentions the false prophet “deceived” them whom received the mark of the beast, so that makes me think its not an openly obvious taking of the mark. Interesting thoughts to an extremely complicated circumstance

  2. I think brats a blatant lie or intentional misleading headline Guilty by ommission NY is the first AMERICAN state to launch a passport Israel did it a while back and is the mist vaccinated nation with no choice Compulsory .And is being sued for breaching human rights and acting criminally as a result Course it wont het msm coverage At all .
