Israel: Caught on hot mic, Israeli health minister says ‘green pass’ not based on epidemiology.

Israeli Minister of Health (right) recorded on hot mic saying to the Minister of Interior (left) “there is no medical or epidemiological justification for the Covid passport, it is only intended to pressure the unvaccinated to vaccinate. Our problem is people who don’t get vaccinated. We need [to influence] them a bit; otherwise, we’ll never get out of this.”

Imposing “green pass” rules on certain venues is needed only to pressure members of the public to get vaccinated, and not for medical reasons, Israeli Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said on Sunday, ahead of the weekly Cabinet meeting.

Horowitz was caught on a hot mic telling this to Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, who was also unaware that the conversation was being taped and would be broadcast.
