Vaccine Passports: Passports to Freedom?
疫苗護照：自由的通行證？
Helen Gamble
7/13(TUE)
The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has been gathering pace across the globe, with millions of people having been vaccinated against the disease. As more people receive the vaccine, the voices demanding greater freedoms are also getting louder. Could vaccine passports provide the solution?
Vaccine passports, digital health passes that provide proof of vaccination, could aid the recovery of battered economies worldwide. The hardest-hit industries, such as tourism and hospitality, are crying out for the introduction of vaccine passports to get their businesses up and running again. These passports would not only facilitate quarantine-free international travel but also enable vaccinated individuals to visit venues such as bars, restaurants, and theaters. Currently, the passports seem to be the only way for many establishments to safely reopen.
In countries where a sizeable number of people have been vaccinated, the majority of the general public appear to be in favor of vaccine passports. Nonetheless, there are those who oppose the idea. A recent petition in the United Kingdom against introducing the passports managed to collect over 300,000 signatures, most of which were from people concerned about unequal access to services.
全球各地加速推出新冠肺炎疫苗，已有數百萬人接種疫苗來對抗此疾病。隨著越來越多人接種疫苗，要求更多自由的聲音也越來越大。疫苗護照能夠提供解決辦法嗎？
疫苗護照（提供接種疫苗證明的數位健康通行證）可以幫助世界各地受創的經濟復甦。受創最嚴重的產業，像是旅遊業和餐旅業，都迫切需要引進疫苗護照來讓他們的生意重新運轉。這些護照不只促進免隔離的國際旅遊，也讓施打過疫苗的人可以去酒吧、餐廳和電影院等場所。目前，護照看起來是許多商業機構能安全重啟的唯一方法。
在大多數人都已施打疫苗的國家，大部分的民眾似乎都支持疫苗護照。然而，還是有人反對這個想法。英國最近一項反對引進護照的請願書成功收集了超過三十萬份的簽名，其中大部分來自擔心獲得服務會有不公平的人。

Some governments are hesitant to introduce a system in which the vaccinated can travel and visit venues freely while those who have not been vaccinated are denied entry to places. The idea of an unequal society also worries human rights advocates. The pandemic has already highlighted the chasm between wealthy nations and poorer countries, which have struggled to access vaccines. Vaccine passports would add further discrimination in an already unequal battle against the disease and its economic impacts.
Furthermore, the science on levels of protection is still sketchy. It is unclear how long the vaccines offer immunity for and whether inoculated people can still spread the disease. In addition, new strains are currently emerging, and it is unknown whether certain vaccines will be more effective than others in providing immunity against these variants. All things considered, many believe that it is too soon to introduce vaccine passports.
It seems that as long as COVID-19 continues to be a defining part of our lives, we will have to grapple with practical and ethical concerns. Vaccine passports might very well exacerbate the inequality brought on by the virus; however, travel and social interaction have been universally missed, and these passports are perhaps the only tool we have available to speed up the return to normalcy.
一些政府猶豫，不願引進施打過疫苗的人可以自由旅行和出入場所而沒有施打疫苗的人則被拒於門外的制度。不平等社會的想法也讓人權提倡者感到擔憂。疫情已突顯富裕國家與較貧窮國家之間顯著的差距，窮國一直都難以取得疫苗。在這場對抗疾病與經濟衝擊早已不公平的戰役中，疫苗護照會進一步加劇歧視。
此外，關於疫苗防護力，科學所知仍有限。疫苗提供免疫能維持多久以及接種過疫苗的人是否仍會傳播疾病還不清楚。除此之外，新的病毒株不斷出現，而是否某些疫苗比其他疫苗更有效提供免疫來對抗這些變異體仍不得而知。從各方面來看，許多人認為引進疫苗護照還言之過早。
看來只要新冠肺炎繼續成為我們生活關鍵的一部分，我們就得要設法解決實際和道德的問題。疫苗護照很可能會加劇病毒帶來的不平等；然而，在普遍沒有旅遊和社會互動下，這些護照或許是我們可用來加速回歸常態的唯一工具。
