Biden executive order directs government to evaluate ‘feasibility’ of vaccine passports By Patrick Delaney for Life Site News
Dr. Joseph Meaney affirmed that using coercion to force coronavirus vaccinations, which would be required for the right to travel, remains ‘ethically unacceptable.’
In an executive order signed on Thursday, newly installed President Joe Biden imposed significant novel restrictions on travel while also initiating an evaluation of COVID-19 vaccination passports for such measures as well.
“In addition to wearing a mask, everyone flying to the United States from another country will need to test before they get on that plane, before they depart,” Biden said. “And quarantine when they arrive in America.”

Indeed, Biden’s order mandates masks in airports, and on most forms of public transportation, including commercial aircraft, trains, ferries, and intercity bus services.
Further, the order stipulates that international travelers shall be “required to produce proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test prior to entry,” and comply with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), including “periods of self-quarantine or self-isolation after entry into the United States.”
The directive goes on to oblige his administration to work with foreign governments, the World Health Organization, and other international “stakeholders” to impose consistent international restrictions in several aspects, including “quarantine, testing, COVID-19 vaccination, follow-up testing and symptom-monitoring, environmental decontamination standards … and contact tracing.”
Finally, the order directs his administration to evaluate the possibility of including COVID-19 vaccinations as requirements for international travel, that is, developing and requiring the use of vaccine passports.
The directive states the government is to “assess the feasibility of linking COVID-19 vaccination to International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) and producing electronic versions of ICVPs.”
Trials of such passports are currently being funded by the government of the U.K., and last month an uproar occurred in Candida when Health Minister of Ontario Christine Elliott affirmed that people will be given proof of COVID vaccination that they may need for “travel,” “work,” and for going to the “theatre” or “any other places where people will be in closer physical contact,” which could include shopping centers, restaurants, and even churches.
