Only people displaying a “green passport” that proved they had been vaccinated or had recovered from COVID-19 could get in.
Governments say getting vaccinated and having proper documentation will smooth the way to travel, entertainment and other social gatherings in a post-pandemic world.
grapple with the ethics of using the shots as diplomatic currency and power.
Anyone unwilling or unable to get the jabs that confer immunity will be “left behind,” said Health Minister Yuli Edelstein.
“It’s really the only way forward at the moment,” Geffen said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“People can’t live their lives in the new world without them,” he said. “We must take the vaccines. We must.”
“With the Green Pass, doors just open for you. You could go out to restaurants, work out at the gym, see a show,” read an announcement on Feb. 21, the day much of the economy reopened after a six-week shutdown.

Morano: "Would anyone purchase fire insurance on their home that had a huge upfront premium for virtually no payout if your home burned down? If you answered YES to such an 'insurance' policy, then Congress, the EPA, & the UN have a deal for you with their 'climate' regulations.
