EU Proposing Time Limit on COVID Vaccine Passports for Tourists.

The European Union proposed that COVID-19 vaccine passports should expire after nine months for citizens traveling into and within the 27-member states, the executive arm of the union announced on Thursday.

“The Commission is proposing a stronger focus on a ‘person-based’ approach to travel measures and a standard acceptance period for vaccination certificates of nine months since the primary vaccination series,” the European Commission (EC) said in a statement.

Accepting that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines wanes over time, the EC is proposing that people should be considered covered if the final dose of their primary vaccination was within the last nine months and that this update should apply from Jan. 10.

People who have recently recovered from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus within 180 days before making their trip and have either access to a valid “EU Digital Covid Certificate”—which allows Europeans certain “freedoms”—or a certificate deemed equivalent should also be allowed to travel in the EU as of Jan. 10.

The EC also proposed accepting all COVID-19 vaccines approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for travel purposes, which would allow non-essential travel to the EU from outside the bloc for people vaccinated with Chinese shots and vaccines made in India.

The vaccination rules are not required for children under six. Children between six and 17 are allowed to travel to and within the EU with a negative PCR test that is done before the trip if they have not been vaccinated.

Key updates for travelers who have access to a valid EU Digital COVID Certificate, typically viewed on mobile devices, includes that they should in principle not be subjected to additional restrictions, such as tests or quarantine, regardless of their place of departure in the EU, according to a statement by the EC. The passports are issued by individual countries but are recognized across the bloc.

The proposal also indicates that vaccine boosters will likely be needed in the future to travel freely beyond the initial nine-month period. Most EU residents were vaccinated with a final dose in the second and third quarters of 2021, meaning their coverage would mostly expire by the middle of next year.

The EC noted that Thursday’s proposal does not include the validity period for travel certificates issued based on booster shots, meaning a new expiration date could be announced later to include the advice for booster jabs.

“The Commission may, if needed, propose an appropriate acceptance period also for vaccination certificates issued following a booster,” it said.

EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides said in a statement on Thursday that about 65 percent of the population in the EU has been vaccinated. The continent has again become the center of the CCP virus pandemic even after successful vaccination campaigns.

“For everyone to travel and live as safely as possible, we need to reach significantly higher vaccination rates—urgently,” Kyriakides stressed. “We also need to reinforce our immunity with booster vaccines,” she added.

Under the new system, only vaccinated or recovered people would be able to enter the EU for non-essential travel regardless of where they travel from. Currently, travelers from countries deemed safe can enter with only a negative test, but the list of safe countries would be discontinued.

Separately, the EC urged EU governments to allow non-essential travel from outside the bloc for people vaccinated with jabs having completed the WHO emergency use listing process, as well as those vaccinated with EU-approved vaccines.

The EU has so far authorized vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca (when produced in Europe), and Johnson & Johnson.

So it looks like international travel may be out of the question for the unvaccinated permanently, due to vaccine passport legislature. That leads us to the question, what other kinds of restrictions will be imposed upon us on American soil? Will we really see a two tier society? I believe the answer is yes, and the only way to survive the fall is preparation, and trust in Jesus Christ to deliver us from harm. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

A Republican Representative from North Carolina took to Twitter to call on Christians to “fight for America.”

Congressman Madison Cawthorn urged Christians in America to fight for the country or face losing their freedom.

“Where are you, men and women of faith? If we lose this country, our children will never know freedom. Stand united as men and women of faith to fight for America!” Cawthorn said on Monday.

Cawthorn’s tweet included a short video that has gone viral and has received 120,500 views, 2,687 likes, 633 retweets, and 316 quoted tweets as of writing time. The representative pointed out on Monday evening in a succeeding post, during which it has received 11,800 tweets, that video is “trending because the left can’t stand when Christians in government actually speak up.”

The video is a clip of Cawthorne’s talk during the 2021 North Carolina Faith & Freedom Salt and Light Conference that was held in Mount Airy’s Temple Baptist Church last September 25. The North Carolina Faith & Freedom is part of the nationwide grassroots movement that connect faith in the political process and composed of thousands of members including former President Donald Trump.

In the short clip, Cawthorn’s talk on the “spiritual battle going on” in the United States Capitol is highlighted along with his call for Christians to join the fight.

“I feel a spiritual battle going on in Capitol Hill. The only way to take our country back is for strong, God-fearing patriots decide it is time for us to stand up and say, ‘No!’, to your tyranny. Now is the time for our pastors and congregations like the one here and like many of you represent,” Cawthorn said. “it’s time for us to stand up and declare boldly that, as men and women of faith, we have a duty to stand against tyranny. We have a duty to be civically involved. We have a duty to save this country for the next generation,” he declared.

Where are you, men and women of faith?

If we lose this country, our children will never know freedom.

Cawthorn also encouraged Christians to go against the culture of being in the “shadows” when it comes to cultural and social issues that are often dictated by the Democrats in terms of its direction. He stressed the need to stand against Democrats’ agendas with Christian values and to stand for freedom for the next generation of Americans.

“It is time for the American Christian Church to come out of the shadows. To say no longer are we going to allow our culture to be determined by people who hate the things we believe in. We are going to stand valiantly for God’s incredible and errant truths that predate any version of government,” Cawthorn urged.

“Because my friends, if we lose this country today, if we bend the knee to the Democrats today, our country will be lost forever, our children will never know what freedom is. It’s our duty to stand up. I encourage you, let us stand together as women of faith, let us fight for our country!” Cawthorn ended.

Cawthorn is said to be running for re-election as Congressman for North Carolina’s 11th District in 2022. He is one of the legislators identified to be part of the American Renewal Project which allegedly “rejects the notion of separation between church and state” since “churches are at the forefront of a cultural war and pastors should run for office to ensure victory.”

The distaste that America already has for people of Christian faith will soon be amplified, and we will be more misunderstood than ever. Because sinfulness is a part of human nature, and in the process of preserving good values for our coming generation we will “pass judgement” in the eyes of the democrats. Calling us hypocrites and evil people. This is the illusion cast over society, to make the only people left with morals feel crazy. In the mean time all we can do is pray and educate ourselves.
