Nick Corbishley - Scanned: Why Vaccine Passports and Digital IDs Will Mean the End of Privacy and Personal Freedom

Nick Corbishley exposes the intricate web spun by global predators using the principles of mass formation psychosis in order to drive an agenda of worldwide injection of biologically active substances. People entranced in fear and confusion feel their entire existence depends on periodic receipt of grossly unsafe and ineffective productsall to live the day-by-day existence they had grown to expect. Corbishley unwinds this madness into an understandable framework with chilling insights about the loss of medical freedom that is inextricably linked to loss of social and economic freedoms. This book is an emergency read.

Scanned by Nick Corbishley is essential reading; this book explains in an incontrovertible way how vaccine passports have already closed off basic human liberties in many parts of the formerly free world, and shines a light on the mounting layers of dystopia and control for which they form the foundation. No one should risk missing the information in this book.

Show me your papers is a phrase that should send chills down the spine of any thinking person. The idea that we would bar free citizens from access to public life because they have chosen to say, No, thank you to a pharmaceutical intervention for religious, medical, or philosophical reasons is breathtakingly wrong. Nick Corbishleys outstanding new book, Scanned, explains why. Anyone who cares about public health and personal freedom needs this book.

The rollout of vaccine passports and the broader pseudo-medical social-segregation system they are part of is among the most sinister and alarming threats we have faced in our lifetimes. Under the pretense of keeping us safe and healthy, governments, supranational governing entities, and tech corporations have colluded to impose unprecedented restrictions and surveillance on people all around the world. Scanned unpacks the logical insanity of the official vaccine passport narrative and describes how mass COVID hysteria has been instrumentalized to consolidate not only wealth and power, but biometric control over ordinary citizens.

B Y THE TIME YOU OPEN THIS BOOK , theres a good chance you either already have some form of vaccine passport or are being strongly encouraged (to put it kindly) to get one. As of this writing, most countries in Europe, my continent of residence, have already implemented one, as have Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Uruguay, and Argentina.

Of course, the term passport is misleading. A passport is a document issued by a State that certifies the holders citizenship and entitles them to travel under its protection to and from foreign countries. While it is true that immunity certificates for diseases such as smallpox and yellow fever have been around for over a century, they have always come in paper form whereas a vaccine passport is likely to come in the form of a digital document. Most important, vaccine passports have broader applications and darker implications than normal passports or immunity certificates. They can be required not only to establish identity or vaccine status at national borders but also to travel, access public buildings, qualify for basic services, and even to work within ones own country of residence.

To qualify for a vaccine passport in most jurisdictions, you need to be up to date on the COVID-19 vaccinations. In some places, such as the EU, a recent negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test may suffice. In the EU, unlike the United States and the United Kingdom, natural immunity is still considered a relevant scientific phenomenon, a fact that is partially reflected in the EUs vaccine passport legislation (or at least it was at the time of writing this). EU residents who have had an infection of COVID-19 can qualify for the passport, but for only a six-month period.

Unfortunately, even that didnt work out for me.

My wife and I came down with COVID-19 in late July 2021. We were both unvaccinated. Both of us, in our mid-forties, had reasonably mild symptomsfever, fatigue, chills, cough, joint pains, lack of appetite, headachesthat lasted for about a week. Then we began a slow process of recovery. After around a month we were more or less back to normal. Both of us now have natural antibodies yet only one of us is eligible for the EUs vaccine passportthe so-called Green Pass.

Like thousands of other people in Spain, where I am a long-term resident, I was given the wrong test at the onset of symptoms. My wife, by contrast, took the correct one four days later, since she had tested negative the first time round. During Spains big summer wave, many of the countrys primary-care providers began using the much faster (and much cheaper) antigen tests to check patients for infection. The only problem is that to qualify for the EUs Green Pass on the grounds of natural infection, you need to have had a positive PCR test; the results of antigen tests like mine do not suffice.

That means that in the fall of 2021 there were thousands of people in Spainmyself includedwho were in limbo. We have all had a COVID-19 infection, which means we should have some degree of immunity. And that means we should qualify for the EUs Green Pass, at least for a six-month window of time. But because Spains health authorities used the wrong test in our cases, we dont. This includes people who spent weeks in a hospital fighting and recovering from the disease. According to the EUs official records none of us have had COVID-19. According to Spains public health authorities, we have.

This is just one example of how arbitrary life can quickly become in the new reality that is fast taking shape around us. There are many more, as you will discover in this book. As governments exert ever greater power and authority over our lives, all it takes is a simple administrative mistake or algorithmic error or bias for everyday citizens to suddenly find themselves unable to travel, or even access public places and basic services in their hometowns. And as weve repeatedly seen since this pandemic began, governments and public authorities are prone to making mistakes quite often.
