There are two classes of people: vaccinated and unvaccinated. Vaccinated individuals have certain rights. Initially, there was hope to maintain elimination of the virus across the country without the need for vaccination certificates. However, it has become clear that these certificates not only drive up vaccination rates but also provide confidence to vaccinated individuals. They want to be around other vaccinated people and feel safe in hospitality and event settings. Offering this confidence and safety is important for those who have been vaccinated, allowing them to enjoy these activities again.

Digital certificates are needed for people working in nursing homes, hospitals, and schools to authenticate their vaccination status. Travel may also require such authentication. Pfizer broke every record in developing the vaccine.

WHO did not impose lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their role is to provide guidance and support to governments. The pandemic agreement was created by countries for countries, affirming national sovereignty and responsibility. WHO is not a party to the agreement, which focuses on countries working together to prevent pandemics.

The EU has introduced a digital COVID certificate to simplify travel between European countries while ensuring safety. The certificate can be on your phone or printed out and will prove vaccination, negative test results, or recovery from the infection. It will be valid for 12 months and comply with data protection rules. The certificate is free, and the European Parliament has allocated funds to purchase necessary tests. All EU countries will recognize the certificate, but travelers should still check for any local restrictions before their journey.

I was surprised to see our health commissioner, Mrs. Pierriacidès, signing an agreement with Mr. Tedros, the director of the WHO, regarding digital Covid certificates. They claim that these European certificates will serve as an international reference. However, many countries, including Germany, France, Bulgaria, and Austria, question the basis for this decision. Concerns arise about potential implications for future pandemics, other vaccines, and international surveillance. The lack of transparency and guarantees regarding data traceability further fuel these concerns. It is unclear on what legal grounds the health commissioner negotiated this agreement without the knowledge or delegation from member states. Personally, I find this decision unsettling and dislike having choices made for me.

The speaker discusses the need for a digital vaccination certificate and the progress made by the commission and member states in its development. They mention the importance of implementing a gateway for compatibility between national digital vaccination certificates. Germany has decided to develop its own national certificate, with the basic data requirements defined by the European Commission and member states. The speaker states that the Ministry of Health has awarded the contract, and it will take approximately three months for the European Commission to create the necessary technical conditions. This aligns with the timeline provided by the Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, for the development of such a certificate.

In the future, it may be difficult to live normally without proving vaccination status. Countries may require proof of vaccination, antibodies, or recent negative tests for entry. Vaccination will be key to regaining freedom.

The WHO states it did not impose lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting it lacks such power and does not seek it. The WHO says its role is to support governments with evidence-based guidance, advice, and supplies to help them protect their people.

We propose a single, simple transaction for travelers, airlines, and government authorities. Countries should publish their screening entry requirements in a standard format on a common framework. We will create a global registry of trusted sites for COVID-19 testing and vaccination. These sites will collect identifying information to verify the person's identity at the border. Results should be available using internationally recognized data standards and integrated into reservation check-in processes. Vaccination records can be stored in national registries or personal health records. This framework will enable an engine to determine if someone meets the entry requirements for a country. Trust is important for both travelers and governments, and our Common Pass platform prioritizes privacy. We invite collaboration on this project.

The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the importance of digital health solutions in providing access to healthcare services. The European Union invested in COVID-19 certificates to facilitate safe movement during the pandemic. Building on this success, the World Health Organization (WHO) is launching the global digital health certification network. WHO appreciates the EU's certification system and will use the existing COVID-19 certificate as a global public good. The network will expand to include other uses like international vaccination certificates, immunization cards, and patient summaries. WHO aims to ensure global accessibility by collaborating with all regions.

The WHO has partnered with Deutsche Telekom's subsidiary, T Systems, to develop a software solution for global electronic verification of COVID-19 vaccination certificates. Despite the decline in COVID cases, countries like the US still require vaccination. There is widespread support from various nations, including India, Indonesia, the European Union, South American nations, Brazil, Russia, to implement global digital health certificates based on QR codes with a paper backup. These certificates would cover vaccines, medications, and other health treatments, and would be standardized under the WHO. The aim is to make the certificates interoperable for international travel, following the WHO's guidelines.

The European Union invested in COVID-19 certificates to facilitate safe movement during the pandemic. Now, the World Health Organization (WHO) is launching the global digital health certification network, building on the success of the EU system. WHO will start with the existing COVID-19 certificate and expand it to include other uses like vaccination records and patient summaries. They aim to make this network accessible worldwide and thank the European Union for their contribution.

WHO is committed to supporting all countries in saving lives and fighting stigma and discrimination related to COVID-19. There are concerns about discrimination against unvaccinated individuals, with some countries implementing mandates and restrictions. However, WHO emphasizes the importance of solidarity and avoiding stigma. Various incidents of discrimination against unvaccinated individuals have been reported, including denial of organ transplants and access to healthcare services. While vaccine mandates are seen as a last resort, some countries have implemented them, including Austria and the US. The video highlights the ongoing debate and division surrounding vaccination and the impact it has on society. WHO remains dedicated to human rights and combating discrimination in all forms.

We in the European Union are working to strengthen health systems and promote digitalization in healthcare globally. During the pandemic, we quickly implemented a digital COVID certificate to facilitate travel and revive economies. This initiative has been adopted by WHO and over 80 countries. We must think innovatively, move forward, and embrace the potential benefits of digital health while being mindful of the risks.

They claimed that these European certificates would serve as an international reference. However, many countries, including Germany, France, Bulgaria, and Austria, question the legal and regional basis for this decision. Concerns arise regarding the impact on future pandemics, other vaccines like polio, and the guarantee of data traceability. I share the worries expressed by these countries. The commissioner needs to explain the legal basis for negotiating such an agreement with the WHO director, as member states were not aware of it. I dislike decisions being made on my behalf.

The COVID-19 pandemic emergency phase is over, but digital infrastructure investments are still crucial. The EU's COVID-19 certificates helped safe travel. IMF is developing a global CBDC platform for efficient transactions. CBDC gives central banks control and enforcement power. WHO launched a global digital health certification network based on the EU system.

A proper digital infrastructure is critical for managing vaccinations, especially with multiple-shot vaccines. It's essential to track who has been vaccinated. This is important not only for healthcare in general, but specifically for managing pandemics and vaccine distribution. However, most countries currently lack this necessary digital infrastructure.

The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the importance of digital health solutions in providing access to healthcare services. The European Union's COVID-19 certificate system, used by all member states and over 50 other countries, was successful in facilitating safe movement during the pandemic. Building on this success, the World Health Organization (WHO) is launching the global digital health certification network. WHO expresses gratitude to the European Union for sharing their excellent certification system. The network will initially include the COVID-19 certificate and will later incorporate other documents like vaccination records and patient summaries. WHO will collaborate with all regions to ensure accessibility of the network.

WHO did not impose any measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine mandates. The organization lacks the authority to enforce such actions and does not seek that power. Its role is to provide governments with evidence-based guidance, advice, and necessary supplies to help protect their populations.

We need to track who has been vaccinated and who hasn't, especially with upcoming vaccines that may require multiple shots. A robust digital infrastructure is crucial for healthcare in general and particularly during a pandemic. Unfortunately, many countries lack this infrastructure.

Everyone should have the option to get vaccinated. If someone chooses not to get vaccinated, they shouldn't be forced to, although it's unlikely. However, there should be consequences for not getting vaccinated. It's not fair for those who do get vaccinated to face disadvantages while others don't. Being fair means that those who get vaccinated protect themselves and others. Vaccination prevents the spread of the virus, and as a result, life should return to normal as much as possible for those who are vaccinated and for a certain number of vaccinated individuals. That's why I believe vaccine certificates are important, not just for travel within Europe, but also for everyday life in the long run.
