It won't matter whether you favor vaccination or not; the more important question is what a vaccine passport system will look like on the ground. I'd say Brandon Smith is pretty good at asking the right questions, even if I don't buy all his answers: What Would Our Economy Look Like in the Shadow of Vaccine Passports?
This is the kind of stuff I keep watching for on the Net. It's about the only reason I still read any news sites at all. Combing through the mass of propaganda from all the different sides, trying to get us to do things that will not have the intended effect, I sometimes find statements that are quite clear on the more important issue of telling us what to expect.
By the way, this is part of some of the big evil I've been expecting to fall on the US. Notice how TPTB want to force us to do all our business online. Lately I've encountered the disappearance of common items from the local retail shops. Used to I could buy #3 pencils almost anywhere. Then, it was just a few places. Now it's none. Same with something like Mink Oil; nobody stocks it locally any more. I can get those things online, but not in local stores. The variety is shrinking; I'm seeing the same exact Chinese-made items in all the different stores. As Brandon Smith notes, it's an attempt to degrade our lives in favor of a one-world Tower of Babel.
This is not just random happenstance. This is part of a much wider plan to commoditize consumer retail. I honestly hope we do see an alternative economy arise, regardless whether it's provoked by vaccine passports or some other point of conflict. I doubt it would be like Brandon Smith's dreams, but I don't doubt people will insist on having things their own way at some point. But the friction, the lag time, between the hassles we face now and the outbreak of an alternative system is impossible to gauge.
And in the final analysis, this is part of why we promote a tribal existence. Christians should be the first to build a community that is capable of withdrawing from the secular system. There should be an enclosed tribal market for the necessities of life. We should have our own gardens and animal pens to feed each other, and crafts that produce things we can actually use. We should have our own cloistered private economy. We should be protecting each other already, but I don't expect to see that arise for some time yet. Still, it's important to declare the biblical model.
