Vaccine passport: Bethel to allow vaccinated passengers only on bus

The “vaccine passport” era has begun, or at least will begin soon in Bethel, Alaska.

While states, airlines companies and Big Tech are pushing for a federal standard for “vaccine passports,” the small town of Bethel, in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, announced that beginning Monday, only those vaccinated for Covid-19 will be allowed to ride on buses.

As of last week, over 35 percent of the Bethel population age 16 and older had received at least one dose of the anti-Covid vaccine. Bethel is doing what some of the big players are already doing.

Today, British Airways and Ryan Air announced they are starting to allow fliers to provide their vaccination and test results, along with their passport numbers and other personal dates, during bookings. The airlines hope that the move will be able to show various countries and provinces that passengers are inoculated.

According to the Wall Street Journal,  Singapore Airlines Ltd., Emirates Airline, and Qatar Airways have been working with the International Air Transport Association, an airline trade body, to test a so-called Travel Pass. “The system, which includes a mobile app, aims to allow passengers to demonstrate Covid-19 vaccination and testing records, while also identifying testing and vaccination requirements for different locations and local testing centers accessible during travel. Ethiopian Airlines said Wednesday it was partnering with the African Union to try out a similar travel pass for intracontinental flights,” the newspaper reported.

Israel has begun issuing vaccination passports for people who want to use gymnasiums and other public facilities.

The question of proof-of-vaccine concerns privacy advocates, who say that as government policy, it raises red flags, but without federal oversight, local “vaccine passport” rules are likely to be discriminatory, confusing, and subject to fraud.

Last month, President Joe Biden issued an executive order asking federal agencies to explore how to create a digital Covid-19 vaccination certificate system.

  2. So now we have it, the unwashed are now to move to the bottom of society. If you refuse to get vaccinated, you are no longer a citizen of a free republic, you are a citizen of a dictatorship.

    • This is only the beginning of the Biden nightmare. He is desperately trying to start a race war, mandatory vaccination, registered guns. These people are evil to the core.

  5. Does anyone else see where this medical fascism is leading this country?
    It was never about “flatten the curve”…
    This is all about controlling the population into submission and limiting our ability to travel freely in this nation, something which was clearly outlined in the Constitution and protected by the 5th amendment.
    I am truly disgusted that Mike Dunleavy is allowing this to go on under his watch.

  6. The only immunity this injection can give is to the Drug Companies from legal actions from those who have been injected with this experimental shot.

    • This doesn’t have anything to do with Mike. The people who feel they are being unconstitutionally detained or deprived need to file lawsuits themselves. That’s how it’s done in this country.

      • This has everything to do with the Cowardly Lion. Specially his unfathomable like of leadership.

        If he acted like he had a political pair he would have pushed down these stupid mask mandates and business closures.

        Bullies act in the absence of authority and leadership. And Mike the Cowardly Lion has been MIA since Wasilla

  9. It was reported awhile back that a lot of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region people were not buying into taking the vaccine by their own right of choice, so this makes sense that the government would start in Bethel to pressure the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, for being able to have the use of certain services. “Stand Strong”, don’t let them get away with it, it is your right to choose whether or not to get the vaccine.

    Even if you are for this vaccine, this is not a route you want to go along with, because it will be you the next time, to be forced into doing something.

    • While this is another form of making public transportation safer (like wearing a mask) it will likely go toward pressure on many opposed to those vaccines. And, I suspect, there will be much more of this.

      Already several foreign countries are welcoming those with vaccines and it’s my opinion that any tour ships sailing in the future will be requiring them as well.

      All cruises, having to shut down due to Covid, will welcome any reason to make things safer (also IMO).

  10. This is going to be the law of the future for all travel……domestic and foreign.
    “Proof of vaccination, please.”
    .
    soon, we will all be Communists.

      • Sorry, but I’m afraid that you are deluded. As Cass Sunstein says, people will be ‘nudged’ into accepting the unacceptable. Just like boiling a frog.

        • They never are though. That’s where you are grossly mistaken. The southern United States wasn’t nudged into anything until after war and even then not so acceptingly. People in the Soviet Union werent nudged into it. Even China people aren’t nudged into it remember the tank guy in the square? Civil wars are common and sometimes useful.

          • It will be greater than “nudged.” It will be more like
            “making an offer you can’t refuse.”

  13. Anyone asks me if I got a vaccine, I tell them its none of their business!There was only one employer that requested to know what kind of vaccines I had, and that was ANTHC years ago. When I thought about it years later, even for ANTHC the knowledge was none of their business.

    Still the vaccines are not the mark of beast. The vaccines definitely would be as a predecessor to the future mark of the beast where no one will be able to resist it as much as peoples are resisting the vaccines today, Hopefully I won’t be around when that day comes.

    I like to see them leave children, adults, and elders left stranded because they still hadn’t recieved a vaccine or they left their vaccine card even lost it, is someone stole their wallet or bag. Talk about being inhumane!

    • Jen you take the mark of the beast literally and you shouldn’t. Much of the stories allowed into the Canon of the Bible we’re a way of controlling the masses by the priests. No questions asked. If there was nothing to hide why not put the rest of the books written back in the day in the Bible? The book of Enoch. You can’t say that Enoch wasn’t a legitimate player in the day. He fired some pretty important people remember?

      • You’re half right Gregory. In Biblical Hebrew the 666 are the names of three different people. Biblical Hebrew numbers were words which also meant other things, like names, places, and etc
        The mark on the forehead is a figure of speech meaning thinking like, and agreeing with the Beast and false prophet. By this time the peoples of the earth will already, on their own, have become as wicked as the Beast.
        The mark on the right hand is also a figure of speech meaning working with the Beast, following his directives. By this time the peoples of the earth will already be doing much of the evil works of the Beast.
        There are many figures of speech in the Bible. They cause much confusion by those who fail to understand them.
        The apostate church leaders can’t understand them because they have rejected the true Savior and invented one more to their personal tastes. One which is molded to their own preferences. For this reason Yahweh has darkened their understanding.
        Having us anticipating a physical mark will deceive many who will fail to understand that their complicity with the Beast is the mark … and that they are “marked” by their thoughts and actions.
        Figures of Speech Used in the Bible.” E.W. Bullinger

        • The above isn’t in Bullinger’s … I referenced Bullinger’s so that people could read his work, and start to understand where I’m coming from.
          There’s a lot more to the Bible than what we’ve been led to believe.
          The physical words which we read are actually a carrier for the Spiritual message.
          The carrier words reach our intellect, and has value … especially in confirming the Spiritual message.
          The underlying Spiritual message reaches our soul, our spirit. This is where our faith is created, deep inside.
          There are many spiritual messages everywhere. The one which guides us to the works of faith, to trust Yahweh, to care about others before our own selves … that is the trustworthy Spiritual message.

    • A agree with your assessment. The vaccine is a gateway to the mark of the beast, and that is surely coming, so take it literally. John was trying to control no one when he wrote Revelation and spoke of the mark.

        • I’m sure. You can wallow in your own doubt. No time in history has there been the capability to control people as there is today, digitally of course. As for the immediacy of the second coming, Peter told his readers :”By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”. II Peter 3:7-9

  14. Mandatory/Forced Vaccinations is Blatant Violation of the Nuremberg Code. Time to charge Bethel for crimes against humanity! People better wake up and stop being such boot licking cowards. Alaskans better learn fast on how to start becoming ungovernable to these communist tyrants or they will take every freedom and joy you ever had. I never thought Alaskans would be so weak and bow to tyranny and fear so easily. Extremely disappointing. So when is Alaska gonna start getting off their couches and from behind their keyboards and actually do something? Remember, voting is no longer a viable option because your leaders are now selected and not elected.

  16. This is So Wrong No vaccine shots for me.
    I have not boarded a plane this last year. Because they want me to wear a mask ?
    So I guess I won’t be flying anywhere soon.
    Yes it’s probably going to take a civil war I hope not. For this country to get through this madness

  17. Sadly, Bethel decided a couple weeks ago that you needed to have a vaccination card to use the City pool and health spa, which loses a cool million and a half a year.

    Facebook got pretty heated out here on the Delta. I was pushing for a repeal of the mandate which wasn’t in ordinace form or provide the Citizens with a sales tax exemption card for those that refused to be turned into a guinea pig.

    If you can’t use a public service because you refuse to be forced into what you don’t want and Governor Dunleavy had stated that there’s no mandatory shot required, then fine, give people the option to opt out of paying sales taxes.

    I predicted it would be the largest turnout of Bethel residents ever. Unfortunately the City of Bethel has a direct conflict with YKHC, lets just leave it at they’re in bed together.

    Now give me a tax free card, the City provides services for me when I visit, but I’ll be damned if I’m willing to pay when I’m discriminated against.

    The City is NOT a private company.

    Now where is the Governor and his Attorney General? Fix the problem before it slithers under another communities door.

  18. Paper or plastic*?
    Chip or tattoo?

    Key phrases to let you judge whether you’re living in a dictatorship.

    *Paper card as now being handed out or a higher-tech plastic debit-card type proof of submissiion?

  19. Were all this a gigantic conspiracy, all would be needed is to take down the leaders. It’s not that easy because it’s simply stupid leaders in governments, doing stupid things. That’s much harder to fix because the stupid leaders keep getting voted in by stupid voters.
    You can’t fix stupid … you can only do “Whak-A-Mole”.
    Lots of people prefer believing in conspiracies though because that lets them play victim, and absolves them from needing to become involved, figure out all of the problems, and how to deal with them … one at a time. Too much work, and actually “thinking” puts a strain on them.

  20. “…scientists extrapolated that data to estimate that 15.9 million “asymptomatic or undiagnosed” infections had occurred in the U.S. as of Sept. 30.
    By contrast, Johns Hopkins University reports the total number of confirmed positive cases was just over 7.2 million at the end of September.” KTUU Mar. 16, 2021
    Which means that the death rate per hundred is but a third of what has been claimed. Stuff that you panic mongers…………..

    • A little-noticed peer-reviewed study published last October … how the government counts deaths from COVID-19, caused by the CCP virus … The 10 authors of the study compared fatality counts compiled using the new system propounded by the CDC … Based on data for all recorded U.S. deaths through August 23, 2020, the new CDC system counted 161,392 that were attributed to the virus. Using the older system, the death total was only 9,684.
      The essential difference between the old and new systems was the latter’s inclusion of multiple co-morbidities along with the virus and listing the virus as the cause of death and the co-morbidities as “contributing conditions.” … weekly alert updated as of March 14, 2021, stated, “for 6 percent of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 3.8 additional conditions or causes per death.”
      In fact, while the study does not say the CDC “inflated COVID-19 deaths,” it does claim the change in data counting procedures produced the wide divergence in total fatalities as of Aug. 23, 2020, 161,392 versus 9,684, as explained above.

  22. By the consent of the governed. Plain and simple. Every time a stupid mandate is brought forth it takes those who are affected by it to say no way. Another way around it is start an private company to be a taxi service or ride share. You do not need to bend to their will.
    The people that keep dragging us down these slippery slopes are the people whose life are so messed up they feel they have to bring everyone else down to their levels and hatred for us all.

  23. HPAA was created to protect powerful people’s sex lives.

    A totally useless minefield of fines and restrictions, where a medical facility can literally receive a fine of $50,000 for leaving a chart on a counter, and that adds by some estimates 20% to the cost of healthcare due to compliance costs and training alone.

    Now- because it suits the elites? The same people who wanted their sex lives protected on the backs of the entire health care system, patient privacy is out the window.

  27. SMONARCH: Forced vaccination is clearly against the Nuremberg Code in the section of the code which dealt with “Permissible Medical Experiments” These experimental biologic jabs fall under this category as they are only approved for emergency use and have not been vetted by FDA as safe.

    The ten points of the Nuremberg Code
    The ten points of the code were given in the section of the verdict entitled “Permissible Medical Experiments”:

    1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
    2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
    3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
    4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
    5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
    6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
    7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
    8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
    9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
    10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

  28. One problem in the villages is lack of good leadership, to many are in the, you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
