You watch from about the second week in April onwards. There will be a war on overseas travel like never seen before, another tightening of the screw. If you can’t see that the screw is tightening then you need to get out more. It really is and in so many ways behind the scenes. You have to ask yourself about your acquiesence and where this might lead. There is simply no quality of life left to us if we don’t attempt to grasp the reins.
Thanks. Very useful.
No mention of proof of natural immunity being acceptable anywhere.
So if we have natural immunity we are treated worse than people who have had a vaccine which does not stop infection or prevent transmission.
Shows how pharma has government health agencies well under their thumbs.
The info on this list is not correct for some countries. Better use https://www.traveloffpath.com/countries-without-any-travel-restrictions-or-entry-requirements/ which is regularly kept up to date
Planning a foreign holiday this year before the new WHO Treaty kicks in and they close down travel again for the un-jabbed.
I will not be blackmailed into having their experimental monkey juice injected just to have a week or two in the sun.
As a business traveller from Australia I can get an exemption from most countries that require visitors to be vaccinated, except for three (last I looked): Pakistan, Azerbaijan and the USA.
Just fly to Mexico and walk over the border like millions of others
A frankly baffling picture of confusion, contradiction and outright nonsense. There is a silver lining, this is NOT the homogenous global panopticon envisioned by the WEF, Gates and their ilk. And nor will it ever be.
Amen
Surprised to see neo-communist Canada not requiring the death vax for entry, especially under the
dictatorshipleadership of Chairman Trudeau.It seems tyranny still very much rules the roost in some countries in Africa, South America, the Middle East and then the honeymoon/paradise islands. And of course the good old US of A, under Biden’s “inclusive” administration.
Anyone having any idea what random COVID testing on entry is supposed to be good for?? Work experience placement?
Anyone any idea what COVID testing is good for? 😂
It’s supposed to identify people who are contaminated with unauthorized RNA so that they can be imprisoned for this because it’s claimed that’s dangerous for others. Doing this randomly, however, means randomly imprisoning people, ie, the justification falls away as the contaminated ones who were randomly not imprisoned would be as dangerous to others as those who were.
Seems to be quite a few African countries still requiring “vaccination” or testing. I wonder how much they’re paying them? The “United States” (and PRC) like interfering in Africa too, don’t they?
Edit: I just checked, 28 by my count so more than half. Of course if it’s about depopulation, perhaps it makes more sense…
