(Natural News) A Harvard
Medical School (HMS)
professor has slammed vaccine
passports as “scientific
nonsense.” HMS professor Martin Kulldorff made the remark following the publication
of a study saying natural immunity offers better protection against the Wuhan
coronavirus (COVID-19) than vaccines. Given the study’s results, Kulldorff
remarked that vaccine passports are “discriminatory and unethical.”
The professor tweeted: “Vaccine mandates are not only scientific nonsense, [but] they are
also discriminatory and unethical.” Kulldorff argued that vaccine passports
favored vaccinated professionals over working class people who have developed
natural immunity against COVID-19.
Kuldorff
cited an Israeli study that looked at the country’s mostly vaccinated
population. In one analysis of more than 32,000 vaccinated Israelis,
researchers at the Kahn Sagol Maccabi Research & Innovation Center (KSM) found that vaccinated people were 27 times more
likely to develop
symptomatic COVID-19 than the unvaccinated. They also found that vaccinated
people were eight times more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19.
In a separate
analysis, KSM researchers found that people injected with COVID-19 vaccines
have a higher chance of catching the virus than unvaccinated COVID-19
survivors. In fact, vaccinated individuals without prior infection were
six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated individuals previously
infected with the coronavirus.
“The natural
immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers
considerably more of a shield against the [B16172] delta variant … than two
doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine,” the study said. Israel had administered the
two-dose mRNA vaccine to a large portion of its population.
Two medical
experts lauded the Israeli study’s discovery that natural immunity is better
than vaccine-induced protection. Dr. Eric Topol of Scripps Research
Institute in
California said: “We continue to underestimate the importance of natural
infection immunity … especially when [infection] is recent.” Meanwhile, Dr.
Charlotte Thalin of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute described the Israeli study’s discovery as a “textbook example of
how natural immunity is really better than vaccination.”
Authorities ignore natural immunity, mandate vaccination
Despite the
evidence, many governments worldwide still prefer vaccine-induced immunity
for their citizens. In fact, many have instituted policies pushing for
COVID-19 vaccination. France and Italy are among the many countries which now require their citizens to
show proof of vaccination when stepping outdoors. (Related: Policymakers ignoring
natural immunity to covid in favor of “vaccine” immunity.)
French
President Emmanuel Macron made his first announcement regarding vaccine
passports in July 2021, with the French Parliament expediting its legislation.
The French Constitutional Council (CC), the country’s highest constitutional
authority, later expanded the vaccine passport law a month after its
announcement.
Since July
21, 2021, cinemas, concert halls and theme parks in France with a capacity
of more than 15 people have been asking individuals to show their COVID-19
health pass before they could gain entry. Under the CC’s Aug. 5 mandate,
the scope of the pass was expanded to include cafes, restaurants and
lodging establishments. The health pass is now also required for
long-distance travel either by bus, train or airplane.
Meanwhile,
officials in Italy announced on Aug. 6 that the Green Pass, the country’s
version of a vaccine passport, will be required in a number of establishments.
Authorities ordered gyms, swimming pools, sports stadiums, restaurants,
museums, spas, casinos and cinemas to ask customers for their Green Pass before
allowing them entry.
Italian Prime
Minister Mario Draghi also expanded the pass to include the use of trains,
airplanes, ships and inter-city coaches beginning Sept. 1. Prior to this, the pass
was only required for travel within the European Union. Italians visiting care
homes for the elderly and attending large wedding receptions within the country
were likewise mandated to show their Green Pass even before the new order was
announced.
In an article
published Aug. 30, Foundation for Economic Education Managing Editor Jon
Miltimore expressed his
opposition to
“morally dubious” vaccine passports that limit freedom of movement – a basic
human right. “Vaccine passports would be immoral and a massive government
overreach, even in the absence of [the Israeli study’s] findings. There is
simply no historical parallel for governments attempting to restrict the
movements of healthy people over a respiratory virus in this manner,” he wrote.
Miltimore
also said that since there is ample evidence of natural immunity providing
far superior protection compared to vaccines, governments doubling down on
vaccine passports “becomes not just wrong, but absurd.” (Related: GREAT NEWS: Natural
