El Pais: There are no particular epidemic advantages from applying vaccination passes
According to an internal report analyzed by the newspaper El País and taken up by the British Telegraph , experts say that experience in other European countries shows that the use of passports to access bars and other recreational facilities does not reduce transmission levels.
" In European countries where [the system] is used, cases are increasing significantly, although it is true that their level of vaccination is much lower than in Spain, " the report reads.
In the case of Spain, where over 90% of the target population have been vaccinated, the report says the impact of Covid passports would be negligible and warns that it could contribute to a false impression that vaccinated people are not infected . Eight of Spain's 17 regions are now using the system in some form.
"We know that about 40% of vaccinated people are susceptible to infection and transmit the infection," the report said.
The only advantages experts see in a passport system is that it warns people that there is still the danger of the pandemic and in any case pushes them to get vaccinated, but it makes no serious contribution to containing the epidemic itself. A media short circuit compared to what is commonly claimed by the media, and consistent with the cases seen in Ireland and Singapore.
But don't say it too loudly: someone could feel bad about it, maybe if they always said the opposite on TV …
