Virus Pass: CoE Warns v. Discrimination/Coercion/Infection Risk (Doubtful Vaccines, Less Protection)
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- A Stern Warning Against Risks to massively Infect UnWarned innocent People by Jombies Lurring via False Appearances with a few Controversial "Vaccines" of UnKnown + Shrinking Efficacy in, perhaps, Stoping, or Not, the Deadly Virus' Spread, (and Recently found to unexpectedly Expose Many Recipients to Infections ! S. Infra), was Launched by the 47 Member States-strong (Russia + UK included) Organisation for Human Rights, Democracy, and Rule of Law, Strasbourg-based, Council of Europe (CoE), the Oldest PanEuropean Organisation (1949-2021), by adopting Today a landmark Resolution on the Topical Controversy about the Virus' "Pass"/ "Certificates" of Vaccinations, Tests, or Recoveries, Voted by an Overwhelming Majority of MEPs in its Parliamentary Assembly : 96 in Favor, Against Only 2, and 19 Abstentions, (apparently by Some who Wanted an Even "Sharper" Resolution, f.ex. Respectful of Citizens' "Religion", withOut "InEquities", etc., about "Vaccines", as a Blocked Amendment had asked).
>>> But, Interestingly, it's with a Landmak "Unanimity" that CoE's PanEuropean Assembly Voted a Crucial Amendment Calling to Not "Institute COVID Pass regimes (but) ONLY WHEN Clear and Well-Established Scientific Evidence exists that such regimes Lower the Risk of the Transmission of the SARC-CoV-2 Virus to an Acceptable Level, from a Public Health point of view"... I.e. a Key-Element, which Currently Lacks, at least until Now, (See, among many others, f.ex. also : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/euandgenemanipsviavirus.html,
http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/kennedyjrinberlinonvirusandweb.html,

http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/eusummitonvaccinesquestions.html,
http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/hoxmerkelwillgoinhistory.html, etc, and Infra). "This means that Nothing that might Affect Public Health Measures (i.e., f.ex., DeConfinement, etc), should be Done withOut a Sufficiently Certain basis in Scientific Evidence. This certainty is Only Now "Emerging" for the effects on "Transmission Risk" by users of some Controversial "Vaccines", points out CoE's Resolution, Confirming what "Eurofora" had earlier Found, (See : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/pseudovaccinespassportstohell.html, etc). "Only once there is Certainty about the Effects of Vaccination, recovery from infection, and negative Test results on Transmission Risk (including in particular information on the Effectiveness of different Vaccines, the Duration of protection, etc., it Will be Possible to Evaluate the relevance of Introducing such documents (as the Controversial "Virus' Pass"+) for Non-Medical Purposes, and define the Limits on their use", CoE stresses, as far as the crucial matter of "Timing" is concerned.
----------------------------------
- Among 3 main Risks, as things sand Nowadays, the First : that of Massive Infections which Might be Provoked in any Society particularly by Less Public Health Protection Measures (Non-Pharmaceutical : f.ex Distancing, Masks, Ventilation, Quarantine, etc) Dangerously Exposing UnAware Innocent People in front of a lot of "Jombies" Boasting to have Official COVID "Passes" or "Certificates" and Lurring by the False Appearances of a few Pseudo-"Vaccines", based on some Novel Genetic Technologies of UnCertain Yet Consequencies, particularly on Spreading, or Not, the Deadly Virus to Other Persons, Contrary to All "Classic" Vaccines, and Never Seen Before in Humankind's History, is, Obviously, the Worst. It Might Result into an "Explosion" of Virus' Spread, sooner or later, with a Lot of Innocent Victims "Trapped" among 3 Controversial Public Policies, (Hasty DeConfinement, MisLeading "Passes/Certificates", with Only a Few, UnCertain Fake-"Vaccines", and practically No Therapy Drugs).
- AnOther Serious Risk is that of Coercion, eventualy Obliging UnWilling Citizens to be Submitted in one or another Vaccine (among those Selected by some Public Authoriies, Excluding Free Choice), which is, in Principle, an illegal act, Contrary to the General Prohibition of any Imposed Bio-Medical Intervention in a Humann Person's Health, Opposed to his/her Wish, (Requiring an "Informed Consen"), already Since the InFamous NAZI "Tests" in Concentation Camps, (But Even USA's Secret "Tests" on Black a.o. People in a remote Past, etc : See Also World-Famous Swedish Film-Director, Igmar Bergman's awsome Warning in : "The Serpent's Egg", etc), as Human Rights' case-law and CoE's PanEuropean "BioMedical Ethics" Convention (1998) Clearly Prohibits.
Obviously, these 2 Risks Might be Combined, particularly When People Hesitating to Sumbit into Some Controversial Vaccines, may be, in real Practice, Threatened by that Deadly Virus' Infections provoked by "Jombies" whose Dangerosity, or not, is Nowadays Scientificaly UnKnown, as CoE's Report Denounces, i.e. so-called "Vaccinated" Individuals, If they have taken Only some Controversial Novel Tools, (as f.ex. of mRNA-Technology, which, Currently has a Surprizing ..quasi-Monopoly inside the EU..), in the Current Absence of Any Serious and UnContested, Real Scientific Knowledge abou their Dangerosity for Other People and the Society, (Contrary to "Classical" Vaccines, which, Since Pasteur's times, Notoriously Protect All Contacts from any risk of spread of a virus by the recipients of a real vaccine : A quality still Denied to those Novel "mRNA" Tools, by some Senior Medical Scientists, at least in the Present state of Scientific Knowledge, as things stand Nowadas : See Infra). Such a Double Risk may exist particularly If Public Health Protection ("Non-Pharmaceutical") Measures might be Lifted, as far as those "Jombies" are concerned, withOut any due Protection for all Other People that they might Lurre and Infect !
- 3rd (and Most Probable) Danger, by those Controversial "Virus Passes or Certificates", naturaly might be a Massive, undue "Discrimination" against All Other, UnVaccinated People in a Country, which Manifestly Risks to be Provoked by a Lot of Various Concrete Measures with which Some Public Officials scandalously Attempt to exert Pressure on the People to Submit even to some Controversial so-called "Vaccines", by Allowing them certain Activities which are Prohibited for UnVaccinated People, withOut due Reason, and/or DisProportionaly. Obviously, this, Also, might be Combined to the Above-Mentioned Risks, in order to, eventualy, Impose an (otherwise Prohibited : Comp. Supra) Coercion...
F.ex. CoE, ECHR, and EU Parliament plenaries' Host-City Strasbourg is due to Illustrate such an Example, by Famous Greek Compositor Theodorakis' Musical adaptation of Pablo Neruda's "Canto General", followed by "Jazz" Music, etc, at the superbe Franco-German "2 Shores" Garden on the Rhine river, whose Access is reportedly to be submitted to a "Virus' Pass" Certificate... And things become even More Nasty, when Even the Access of Workers to some Sectors of Activities, (f.ex. Restoration, Health Care, Schools, etc), is Recently Threatened to be Reserved Only to such "Virus Pass"' Holders...
-----------------
>>> CoE's Rapporteur, Swiss Liberal MEP Damien Cottier, (seconded by Opinion Rapporteur from the Social Affairs Committee, Center-Right ChristianDemocrat/EPP MEP Ms Carmen Leyte from Spain), Consulted several TrustWorthy sources, such as 2 Eminent Experts : Professor Siobhan O’Sullivan, Chief Bioethics Officer at the Department of Health in Ireland, Professor of Healthcare Ethics and Law at the Royal College of Surgeons, Vice-President of EU Commission’s Group on Ethics in Science, and Vice-President of CoE's Committee on Bio-Ethics (DH-BIO); and Professor Ross Upshur, of the University of Toronto's School of Public Health, Canada, Co-President of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Ethics and Covid-19 Expert Group. As well as Professor Samia Hurst, Bio-Ethics Expert, Director of the Institut Éthique Histoire Humanités at Geneva University, and Vice-President of the Swiss National Covid-19 Task Force. Moreover, that CoE's Resolution is Also Based on an Important CoE's Secretary General, Marija Buric - Pejčinović's Written "Statement on Human Rights and the <<Vaccine Pass>>", issued on 31 March 2021, (See : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/coewarnsoneuvaccinationpassports.html, etc), and on CoE's BioEthics' Committee's "Statement on Human Rights considerations relevant to <<Vaccine Pass>>", as well as on CoE's Personal Data Protection's "Statement on Covid-19 Vaccination, Attestations, and Data Protection". To all this was, Meanwhile, Added also a Pioneer CoE Assembly's Debate on those Issues, held on 19 April 2021, (just Before German Chancelor Angie Merkel's Key-Note Speech), that Nowadays' Rapporteur Cottier Includes among his Main Sources.
+ A Landmark Input, from the Legal point of view, is, particularly, the French Highest Court on Administrative Law : the prestigious "Conseil d'Etat"'s Ruling of last April (1/4/2021), which Judged that those kind of so-called "Vaccinated People (mainly by RNA Genetic novel tools), could ... Still Carry the Virus, and, thereby, Contribute to its Spread, to an Extend that was, at Present, Difficult to Quantify". And this Fact, "Based on the Evidence Available at the Time", Still depends on "Scientific Knowledge (which) Evolves" Currently, having Not Yet Concluded, as CoE's Rapporteur rightfully observes.
++ In Addition, EU's European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), reportedly Found, on 21 April 2021, a real "Risk of Developing Severe Covid-19 Disease for an UnVaccinated adult who has been in Contact with a fully Vaccinated person (by Controversial "RNA" or Other Genetic Novel Tool, Contrary to Classic Vaccines)exposed to SARS-CoV-2 Infection", at least in a real "moderate" form of "Risk in Older Adults, or Persons with Underlying Risk Factors". Moreover, ECDC "took into Account a Study from Scotland that Virus' <<Transmission can Vary, by Vaccine product, Target Group, and SARS-CoV-2 Variant>>"
=> As a Consequence, among others, "“in the Current Epidemiological context in the EU/European Economic Area, in Public Spaces and large Gatherings, including during Travel, NPIs (Non-Pharmaceutical interventions, such as Masks and social Distancing) should be Maintained, Irrespective of the Vaccination status of the individuals”, ECDC concluded.
>>> In Such a Context, "a Document issued under the authority and aegis of EU would presumably be Perceived as ... trustworthy by much of the Population, who may Give it Greater Significance .... This could Lead to an unwitting Increase in Risky Behaviour by holders of Covid Passes, providers of, f.ex., Tourism services, and public Authorities in travel-destination countries, with potentially DEVASTATING Consequences", CoE's Report Warned.
That's, apparently, the reason for which the Most Controversial "Vaccines"-using European Country : the UK, has recently faced an UnExpected Boost of Infections, to the point that Medical Authorities have Warned of a Risk for People Waiting to find a bed in a Hospital to pass from 5,3 Millions to more than 13 Millions "in the coming Months" ! (Partly UPDATED). Similar Problems of Recent Virus' Spread "Boom" also Elsewhere, when such Controversial Vaccinations went on, as, f.ex. from Sheychelles up to the Netherlands, with a Sudden "Jump" from 500 to 7.000 Infections in just 1 Week !
________________________
=> Therefore, CoE's Assembly Resolution "Calls" on its 47 Member States, First of all, to "Continue implementing the Full range of Public Health Measures Needed to bring Covid-19 under Control".
Indeed, f.ex. China and Australia, etc., who have Focused, Not on Controversial Pseudo-"Vaccines", But, Mainly on Public Health (Non-Pharmaceutical) Measures, have Astonishingly well Succeeded, (Already Since 2020, When any "Vaccine" had Not Yet been Authorized anywhere), to almost Eradicate Both Infections and Deaths, whose Numbers have, since, miraculously Fallen to about Zero or just 1 or 2...
+
-----------------------------------------
+ "Covid Pass regimes" must Not be "instituted" But "Only When clear and well-established Scientific Evidence exists that such regimes Lower the Risk of Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus", (i.e. Not Yet. For that purpose, States Must "take into Account of the Latest Evidence and Expert advise".
++ At any case, States must "Avoid Discrimination", particularly by Ensuring that "the extent to which the holders of different categories of Covid pass are Exempted from Restrictions is consistent with the extent to which the Risk of their Transmitting the SARS-CoV-2 virus is reduced", (If and When this Might, Perhaps, be Scientificaly Proved).
+++ In particular, they Must "take due Account of ... the Relative Effectiveness of Different Vaccines and vaccination regimes, in Preventing Transmission of SARS-CoV-2". Something which, at least for the Time being, has Not Yet been realy Proven in the case of Novel RNA Fake-"Vaccines", as f.ex. that of the Turkish-USA/Pfizer, of the Amenian-USA Moderna, etc.
Indeed, Recent News, f.ex. from Canada, Israel, and Greece, etc., Denounce a Diminished Protection for the Recipients, reportedly Falling Down to about 75% or Even 64%, particularly on Virus' variant Delta, While Virus' Infection Clusters in Israel and Greece were found to Contain around 45% or 55% of so-called "Vaccinated" Individuals ! - UPDATED).
On the Contrary, f.ex., among others, Hungary, which Notoriously decided to use Many and Various Vaccines, withOut being Limited Only to those Few and Controversial Genetic Tools Authorised by EU's EMA Bureaucrats, (such as Turkish-USA Pfizer, USA-Moderna, UK's Astrozeneka, USA-Johnson), But Adding also Russian, Chinese, etc., as well as Drastic Public Health (Non-Pharmaceutical) Measures, apparently Succeeded, Recently, to Sharply Reduce, almost make Disappear, Both Infections and Deaths, according to WHO's Official Data... +Something Similar, reportedly goes Also for San Marino, which would have just Won against the Virus, and ReStarts its Economy Nowadays.
---------------------------------------
++++ CoE also Denounced "TRANSMISSION RISKS involved in different Activities that might be Permitted for holders of Covid Passes, especially where they may come into Contact with people who have not acquired immunity through vaccination or prior infection and whether those people are at a higher Risk of severe illness or death from the illness".
**** Most Important : Considering "the situation of those who for Medical reasons cannot, Or, for reasons of personal Opinion or Belief, Decline to be Vaccinated", "any system of Covid Pass must NOT become tantamount to COERCION and make VACCINATION COMPULSORY", CoE's PanEuropean Human Rights Organisation clearly EXCLUDES, in Conclusion. (Comp. also Supra).

Recent developments proved that Europe can suceed to overcome challenges by aiming at great objectives, and this is needed also in 2009, said EU chairman, French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
- "It's in the name of Great Ideas, Projects, Ambition and Ideals, that EU can overcome" challenges, stressed Sarkozy at EU Parliament in Strasbourg, in conclusion of a dense 7 months EU Chairmanship. "It's even easier for Europe to have Great projects, able to overcome national egoism, instead of limiting itself only to small projects" (unable to do alike), he observed.
- "Europe must remain Ambitious and understand that the World needs her to take Decisions". "The World needs a Strong Europe", which "thinks on its own, has convictions, its own responses, its imagination" : "A Europe which does not limit itself into following" others, (as it did in the Past, when it followed USA, f.ex. on Bosnia). On the contrary, "Europe should undertake its own responsibilities", he said, after a series of succes in stopping the War between Russia and Georgia, and organizing the 1st EuroZone's Summit in Paris, which incited the Washington DC G-20 Summit to extend similar decisions World-wide.
- "When you sweep it all under the carpet, prepare yourself for hard tomorrows", he warned. "What hinders decisions is the lack of Courage and Will, the fading away of Ideals", he stressed before EU Parliament's 2008 debate on Human Rights and Sakharov prize on Freedom of thought attributed by MEPs to Chinese cyber-dissident Hu Jia, followed by an EU - Turkey meeting on Friday.
- "I don't abandon my convictions" and "I will take initiatives" on EU level also in 2009, Sarkozy announced later. "France will not stop having convictions and taking initiatives" on Europe. + "It's an Error to wish to pass over the Heads of those who are elected in their Countries" : "It's an integrism I always fought against"', he warned.
---------------------
French EU Presidency faced 4 unexpected Crisis :
- An institutional crisis, with the Irish "No" to EU Lisbon Treaty, just before it started. A geopolitical crisis, wth the threat of War between Russia and Georgia risking to throw Europe back to Cold-war divisions, on August. A World-wide Financial and Economic crisis, arriving at a bad moment before crucial 2009 EU elections. And even a Strasbourg's mini-crisis, with EU Parliament's roof curiously falling down, from unknown reasons, in a brand new building on August, provoking an unprecedented transfert of the 2 September Plenary Sessions...
But it wasn't enough to stop Sarkozy ! On the contrary, it stimulated him...
---------------------------------------
- "The better way to deal with the recent problems of EU institutions (as the "3 NO" by France, the Netherlands and Ireland) is to take them as a "Test" in order to find solutions closer to Citizens' concerns", said later in Strasbourg Sarkozy's new choice as Ministe for EU affairs, Bruno Le Maire.
- On the Institutional front, Sarkozy gave Time to the Irish to think about it, and stroke on December a deal including a New Referendum after the June 2009 EU Elections, in exchange of a promise to keep the rule of "one EU Commissioner for each EU Member Country", and some opt-outs on Defence and Fiscal EU policies, Abortion, etc. If the Irish get a "Yes" Majority, then the institutional package could be completed in 2010 or 2011 on the occasion of Croatia's probable EU accession.
He was accused in Strasbourg to upgrade EU Council and downgrade EU Commision, but he replied that "strong Political initiatives by EU Council reinforce also the more technical role of EU Commission, under the political-technical leadership of its President", all 3 "working together with EU Parliament".
- But, meanwhile, Sarkozy energetically spearheaded an Historic 1st Summit of EuroZone's 15 Heads of State and Government at EU's core, exceptionally enlarged to a partial participation of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on October 12 in Paris' Elysee palace, which started to tackle succesfully the growing world Financial crisis.
It also paved the way for its endorsement by a subsequent Brussels' 27 EU Member States' gathering, before it all come to Washington's G-20 Summit. And "Europe was united, it asked for the 1st G-20 Summit, and it will also organise the next G-20 Summit on April in London", he observed.
But a Conference with EU, Russia, African and other Developing Countries, hosted in Strasbourg shortly after Washington G-20 Summit by the French EU Presidency, took a Resolution asking to enlarge participation to Global Economic Governance. Many found, indeed, illogic and unacceptable that f.ex. states as Turkey were given a seat at G-20 level, while all African Countries, and even the African Union itself, representing the greatest Continent on Earth, were excluded...
Meanwhile, even USA''s "Paulson No 3" Plan, was, in fact, inspired by Europe's No 1 Plan", Sarkozy observed, largelly applauded by MEPs.
And "Europe showed Solidarity" by mobilizing some 22 Billion credit for Hungary, 1,7 billion for Ukraine, as we do nowadays for Baltic States, etc., he added.
The move on Economy was extended on December by an EU stimulus' plan totalling some 200 billion Euros, including 5 Billions released by EU Commission for big Projects, as well as various parallel National plans for Economic revival, (fex. 26 billions in France alone). They might appear limited, compared to USA President-elect Obama's reported plan to boost the American economy with 800 billion $, but at least succeded to overcome Europe's divisions for the first time on Economic governance, opening new horizons.
- The French President stressed even harder the unique role of an active EU Council's chairmanship, when he moved swiftly and efficiently, at the beginning of August, to succesfully stop War between Russia and Georgia, at the last minute, which threatened to bring Europe back to Cold War division.
"We (EU) also wanted to avoid a situation like in Bosnia, in the Past, when EU was absent, so that our American friends took their responsibilitues, and EU only followed", despite the fact that the conflict took place in Europe. Now, it was the EU who took its responsibilities".
A roadmap towards a new PanEuropean Security policy, before which all unilateral moves to place new Missiles (from USA or Russia) would be freezed, was proposed by Sarkozy after a meeting with Russian president Medvedev, at the eve of Washington DC's G-20 Summit.
Ukraine's "European" character was stressed at a Sarkozy - Jushenko Summit, September in Paris, while EU adopted on December an "Eastern policy", in which, "I'm convinced that our (EU's) future is to find with our Neighbours the conditions for Economic Development. Peace and Security, by explaining them that.. they must respect (Human Rights') Values, and adopt behaviors different from the Past", explained Sarkozy in Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, the "Union for the Mediterranean" was created, since July's Summit if 45 Heads of State and Government in Paris, as "an organisation for a permanent Dialogue, that we need", mainly in order to tackle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, by bringing together, for the 1st time, Israelis and Arabs, where "Europe must be present, in order to avoid a frontal clash".
- "If Europe doesn't take its part for Peace in the Middle-East, nobody else will do that in our place", Sarkozy stressed.
-----------------------
Meanwhile, other EU Agreements were brokered during the French EU Presidency on Immigration, (fex. common Asylum rules, etc), and Climat- Energy :
- On Climat-Energy, the 2007 German EU Presidency had fixed a triple 20% aim for 2020 (20% renewable Energies, 20% reduction of CO2 emmission, 20% energy efficience/economies), and the 2008 French EU Presidecny realized that, making the necessary compromises in order to modernize EU's industry, but without throwing some former Central-Eastern European Countries into abrupt Economic break down risking "social explosion".
- Defence-Security EU policy was mainly postponed for April 2009, since both German chancellor Merkel and French president Sarkozy want to strike a deal with the new American president Obama in Strasbourg's NATO Summit.
However, with all these 4 unexpected Crisis diverting attention to other urgencies, People wil wonder now, what happened to the famous deal proposed by freshly-elected French President Sarkozy on Turkey's controversial EU bid, back on August 2007, to continue EU - Turkey negotiations, but on the double condition that core chapters, intrinsequally linked with EU Membership, will be excluded, and that a collective Reflexion and Debate on Europe's future would start before the end of 2008.
It was meant to reply to the crucial question : What kind of Europe do we want in 10 or 20 Years from now : A large Market, or a Political Europe, with a popular identity ? In Sarkozy's thinking, presented in his 2 landmark speeches on Europe in Strasbourg, shortly before and after the 2007 Elections, (on February and July 2007), Turkey's controversial EU bid would be incompatible with the second choice.
It's true that EU Commision's Chairman, Jose Barroso, (who had notoriously declared, as former Portuguese Prime Minister, that he found "nonsense" the idea that Europe might become equal to the US), had repeatedly tried to avoid that Sarkozy's criticism on Turkey might start winning a larger audience in Europe, preferring a discrete "wismens' committee" work. And that most of the personalities later chosen in order to participate in a Committee on Europe's Future, are too much linked with Socialist parties and/or American policies, to be really critical of USA's notorious wish to impose Turkey to the EU, as Sarkozy had noted himself since March 2007..
- "It's on EU Council's presidency to take political initiatives. EU Commission has other competences", stressed Sarkozy. The "European Ideal" is to "build Europe with the States, not against them". "Ask Europeans to chose between their countries and Europe won't work. You don't choose between your two parents : We must add them together".
"France and Germany have an Historic Duty to work together, precisely because of what happened to the Past. We have to work hand by hand. We cannot be separated.It goes beyond me and Mrs Merkel today, Mr Schroeder and Mr. Chirac yesterday. It's not a choice, it's a duty to Europe and to the World". "We need Germany, as Germany needs Europe". Compromise is inevitable, here as everywhere, and each one made some steps towards eachother's positions.
But "it's true that Mrs Merkel didn't chose her Socialist partners, while I chose mine", Sarkozy said, in an indirect hint that the Socialist Minister of Finance in Germany might be a cause of minor past disagreements in Economy, which were overcome in recent negotiations.
"We (France and Germany) have particular duties in Europe", but "in a Europe of 27 Member States, it's not enough for France and Germany to agree between them.
"I always thought that Great Britain has a special role to play in Europe. ... Now, everybody "saw what it cost payed the UK for having been too exclusively open towards the US (and) Financial services. Europe needs the UK, but also the UK needs Europe" :- "We were able to face the hardest moment of the Financial crisis because the UK clearly chose Europe", stressed Sarkozy, reminding Gordon Brown's exceptional participation to the Historic 1st Heads of State/Government Summit of EuroZone, October 12 in Paris (See EuroFora's Reportage from Elysee Palace then).
- "Some look at Europe with old glasses aged 30 years ago. While we must look at her in relation to what it will be in 30 years" in the Future, Sarkozy concluded.
