One underlying issue is bill gates and the IP holders for the vaccines saying last year that they couldn't release the government funded vaccines construction to third world countries to produce a generic version because covid would be over before they could have produced any. Took them one year to make the vaccine and its been a year since. I think they could have been producing a cheaper vaccine. Pfizer is charging 36 a dose, it started in the lower 20's but they have escalated the price "because of demand" most other vax are in the 10-15 range, and J&J only required one dose.If 100% of people are vaccinated a passport is redundant. Food for thought.
In any case, the longer this drags on in terms of hospitalization rates the longer the need for vaccination and vaccine passports exist.
I cannot predict the future but I hope that next year we’re vaccinated and have enough exposure to Covid itself to do away with this passport.
I’d be shocked if passport is gone this year.
With this problem of developing countries not having access. Covid can continue to circulate and mutate. Currently they sit at just 10 percent receiving their first dose, nevermind more than one. This leaves a massive amount of people who will die for no reason(even if death rate is very low) , and allow the virus to continue to find new hosts, mutate and start all over again.
And here we are a year later and developing nations have not received even the paltry numbers that Gates himself said would be provided.
What does this have to do with the convoy...welp we keep having to lockdown because 1/3 of the world has next to nothing to protect them or downgrade the severity and tranmission. SO around and around we go. These convoy people want to make a difference, start by demanding developing countries get priority access to the next round of vaccines. That would help as a circuit breaker. But I don't see them as the most forward looking people so I don't expect that thought to have even crossed their mind.
