Several widely circulated social media posts shared statements from a physician who chairs the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, reportedly testifying that she advised the Finnish government in late 2021 against implementing COVID-19 vaccine passports because the vaccines didn’t prevent transmission. Finland’s COVID-19 vaccine restrictions were in place for a total of four months before the government ended them in February 2022. Vaccine opponents have sensationalized the story to claim that the physician testified that passports were a “scam” to push “fake vaccines” that don’t prevent deaths.
