Remember Austria and its vaccine mandates? I do and I watched horrified as those who didn’t want to be jabbed had to almost completely remove themselves from society. It was horrendous and quite frightening at the time as many of us thought the same thing would happen here in the UK. Now it’s several years later and we’re stronger and more determined than ever never to comply with such things. I wonder how all those citizens there who meekly complied now feel about what they put their fellow citizens through by their own compliance. Shame on them.

The definition of fully vaccinated varies between countries. In the US it means 2 jabs, others it means 2 jabs and boosted.

To me, this list is simply a way of identifying countries whose civil “servants” can’t be bothered to update their governments’ websites. In just the same way that those same civil servants can’t be bothered about keeping anything up-to-date, because being a civil servant in those countries is about status and power and getting to boss people around with lots of nasty rules, and nothing more.

The countries in this list with anything other than three Xs will stay this way (officially, but almost certainly not in practice) FOREVER.

The only way to know is to GO TO THESE COUNTRIES. As I did, to many, throughout the “pandemic”. Nobody gave a damn about any of it, it was all a PAPER TIGER.

I know that some countries did, though… but they were the countries with far bigger problems, to which I would not wish to go, anyway!

I can’t believe my country, the USA, still requires proof of jab to enter. Hopefully it will change very soon though.

I have it on very good authority that the Department for Homeland Security has been accepting any old dog-eared bits of paper as “proof of vaccination”, since the start of it all.

Also, one person I know had a bit of hassle because he was only jabbed once (poor bugger fell for it, but will have no more), but managed to convince the official that that was enough to be allowed in.

A lot of the countries which specify that visitors must be vaccinated make exceptions for business travel etc. The USA is not in that group.

There were 28 vaccines/’vaccines’ used during the current and ongoing Coronavirus pandemic in all countries. Some may be licensed versions of the 6 mains ones, but either way the following is the list according the ourworldindata. As they are being used to ‘treat’ C19 I will assume all have emergency use authorisation.

Abdala
CanSino
Corbevax
Covaxin
COVIran Barekat
EpiVacCorona
IMBCAMS
J&J
KCONVAC
KoviVac/Churnikov
Medicago
Medigen
Moderna
Novavax
Oxford/AZ
Pfizer/BNT
QazVac
Sanofi/GSK
Sinopham/Bjg
Sinopham/Wuh
Sinovac
Soberana Plus
Soberana02
Sputnik Light
Sputnik V
Turkovac
Valneva
ZF2001

In addition the majority of countries used more than 2 different vaccines/’vaccines’ on their populations. 76 countries used 5 or more different vaccines/’vaccines’. Iran used 11 different vaccines/’vaccines’.

Is it necessary to explain why this is all so bad?

And Hungary used 8 different vaccines I heard, including the gene therapy “vaccines”.

In other words mainly countries poor enough to be threatened by the WHO and related pharmafia that were entirely unaffected by the plandemic.

Imagine having to wear a mask in Burkina Faso. Poor b*stards.

Makes me angry.

It did strike me that for any reasonably healthy individual, covid is the least of your problems in most of those countries.

So true. Covid is the ultimate “first world problem”, even if that includes some second world countries too.

I see in China “a negative Covid PCR test is required for enry” Poor ‘enry.
I know it’s not hilarious but it made me chuckle

And if countries were following the actual science ( like, the pre-2020 original version ) all of them would be showing nothing but crosses throughout. Further proof of the pantomime bullshittery that we are all being subjected to, even now. Some countries seemingly just cannot cut the apron strings of the Plandemic..

Afghanistan here I come.

I might be able to pick up some cheap Apache helicopters. When I say cheap I dont mean costing the lives of 2402 US soldiers or 457 British soldiers or multiply those numbers by 3 and get an estimate of the wounded.

Indeed, the two worst military quagmires the UK was ever involved in. And for the USA, the two worst since Vietnam. There is a reason Afghanistan is called “the graveyard of empires”. The Greeks (Alexander the Great), the Romans, the Persians, the Chinese, the British, the Russians, the British (again), and most notoriously the Americans–no one could hold onto it successfully for very long, and achieve more than the most Pyrrhic of victories.
