REPORT: New York’s Vaccine Passport Has ‘Massive Security Flaws,’ Barely Functional
New York’s “Excelsior Pass” vaccine passport program has “massive security flaws,” with user reviews “hammering” the app for its total “dysfunction.”
In his newsletter, “The Dossier,” Jordan Schachtel revealed the total dysfunction of New York’s “Excelsior Pass” vaccine passport system. Built in conjunction with IBM, the Excelsior Pass was based off of the company’s “Digital Health Pass” system, which Schachtel describes as being “incredibly impractical, and incredibly easy to manipulate.”
The system is “incredibly rigid,” he writes, noting that not only does it take two weeks for the system to recognize that you have been fully vaccinated, but that many people who have been vaccinated will not even be on their database to begin with. Anyone who received a vaccine from out of state, or who took a private at home test kit not on the New York central database, will not be on their system, as there is absolutely zero communication with any other database.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that normal household cleaners and soap are adequate to use to clean indoor surfaces and disinfectants are only necessary if someone in the home has been sick with the virus. “In most situations, regular cleaning of surfaces with soap and detergent, not necessarily disinfecting those surfaces, is enough to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread,” said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at Monday’s White House coronavirus briefing. “Disinfection is only recommended in indoor settings—schools and homes—where there has been a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 within the last 24 hours,” she added. Besides disinfecting indoor surfaces after someone has been sick, Walensky recommended taking continued precautions of wearing a mask and socially distancing to prevent the spread of the virus. She noted that the infection rate for the most recent 7-day period is up 3 percent from the last 7-day period. She …

Fairfax: McAuliffe ‘treated me like George Floyd’ after assault claims surfaced
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) accused fellow gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe (D) of treating him “like George Floyd and Emmett Till” when the former governor called on Fairfax to resign after sexual assault allegations against him surfaced in 2019.
Fairfax made the charge during a gubernatorial debate on Tuesday night while standing alongside McAuliffe and several other Democratic candidates.
“Everyone on that stage called for my immediate resignation, including Terry McAuliffe three minutes after a press release came out,” Fairfax said at the debate, which was hosted by CBS 6. “He treated me like George Floyd. He treated me like Emmett Till. No due process. Immediately assumed my guilt.”
