The government announced on Saturday new measures to increase the anti-Covid vaccination, as the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) made the vaccine certificate mandatory for air travel, while Punjab decided to launch a door-to-door vaccination campaign from Monday.

The NCOC, which serves as the nerve centre of the government’s unified anti-Covid strategy, declared on Saturday that from next month, the Covid-19 vaccination certificate would be mandatory for domestic air travel and urged the masses to get vaccinated by July 31.

In a tweet, the NCOC said that the restriction aimed at encouraging Covid-19 vaccination and allow vaccinated individuals only to avail domestic air travel facility. “Get yourself vaccinated by July 31 and get a vaccination certificate to avoid any inconvenience in this regard,” the forum said.

Meanwhile, the Punjab government decided on Saturday to launch a door-to-door coronavirus vaccination campaign from July 26 (tomorrow) in five cities of the province — Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, and Rawalpindi to meet the targets set by the NCOC.

“The NCOC has set a target of vaccinating 40% adult population in Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan and 70% of the population of Rawalpindi by August 14,” provincial Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid said, adding that vaccination centres in Lahore were being increased to facilitate more people.

Aitezaz | 3 years ago | Reply People across the globe are protesting against this forced vaccination drive and the restrictions placed on their freedom on the basis of exaggerated COVID numbers. This global conspiracy is fueled by the WHO and their Zionist-led sister-concern WEF. For reference you may want to google the likes of Andre Hoffman and more importantly Klaus Schwab who is at the forefront of implementing the New World Order in the name of the Great Reset . He and his group of like-minded global culprits are taking maximum advantage of this COVID-fear opportunity to make people become accustomed to unprecedented harsh restrictions. These vaccinations are not advised for women who are in their early pregnancies these vaccines are not even capable of ensuring that the vaccinated people will not contract COVID-19 thereafter. I personally know many people in my circle who got COVID or more severe health concerns after being fully vaccinated some lost hearing some partially lost eye sight . I ve heard about medical practitioners who admit that their male patients have complained that their manpower has remarkably declined after complete vaccination drive. Countries where people have a higher sense of awareness are challenging these vaccines that are being thrust at us without proper trials on animals and without having previously been tested and interpreted on the results thoroughly. I wonder why if the vaccines are totally ineffective against protecting from risk of COVID-19 do the authorities look so desperate to get us all vaccinated The authorities don t look serious to clean our environment the water and sewerage system the waste management system that s known to cause multiple life-threatening diseases for years in the cities. Yet the only health-related focus of the authorities is to force these vaccines on the people. I wonder is it because the authorities are rushing to face-save against contempt of global bodies like WHO WEF and the UNO Or could it be because being in the bad-books of these global bodies may have consequences for Pakistan s grey-listed FATF status I wonder whether our nation will continue to succumb to this global propaganda in the name of COVID-19 or are we going to show that we as a nation are alive and rise up for organized protests law-making against forceful vaccinations I think the nation appears to be sleeping and ignoring the writing on the wall. Even if we refute all scientific facts that point against this vaccination drive one could only wonder why all of a sudden the focus of authorities has so strongly shifted to getting citizens vaccinated that we have never ever witnessed such harsh measures in the past. Are they testing our patience Are they testing how much alive as a nation we are Sadly it seems that the nation is dead and is utterly incapable of comprehending what could be the adverse impacts of these vaccines on our generations. Fertility rates are sure to witness a radical drop and this is music to the ears of those global Zionists who have long-struggled to contain the population in Muslim countries. This is a golden opportunity for them to make our young population incapable since they always wanted to bring it under control having already failed a solid family system in their society. We need to make organized protests against this forceful vaccination drive like the people of France Australia and other developed countries. We need to demonstrate to the authorities that forceful vaccinations are unacceptable. Make appeals to the Courts of law against these vaccination drives. The learned legal fraternity may come forward to help by taking support of legal provisions in the constitution of Pakistan. This is also a form of deep-rooted state-funded terrorism. Remember that there is a big difference between the authorities claim of encouraging people to vaccinate versus the actual reality of forcing it on the people. We shouldn t buy this sugar-coated poison or else we are destined to be doomed. Act now save your future
