They’re here! The COVID-19 “vaccine passports” that have been discussed so much are becoming a reality in Oregon.

The state has mandated that all businesses, employers and churches must continue to enforce a mask requirement unless they have a policy for “checking for proof of vaccination status of individuals,” and request and review “each individual’s proof of vaccination.”

The state’s previously imposed masking and distancing requirements must be enforced on anyone who “has declined to provide such proof,” the state has instructed.

The state also said masks still are required — even for who are fully vaccinated with proof of vaccination status — in health care settings, jails, youth detention centers, shelters, transitional houses, K-12 schools, planes, buses, trains and transportation hubs.

Oregon Live reported the state will let people go without masks outdoors but will require them “to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 – and be able to prove it” to go without masks indoors. (Read more from “COVID Vaccine Passports Becoming Reality in Liberal State” HERE)

Scientists world-wide are racing to understand why Covid-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca PLC and Johnson & Johnson are causing rare but potentially deadly blood clots.

Determining the connection would help patients, doctors and health agencies better assess any risks posed by the vaccines and safely calibrate their use. In recent weeks, the U.S., the Canadian province of Ontario and several European countries including Norway and Denmark either paused or completely halted rollouts involving these vaccines.

“Understanding the cause is of highest importance for the next-generation vaccines, because [the novel] coronavirus will stay with us and vaccination will likely become seasonal,” said Eric van Gorp, a professor at Erasmus University in the Netherlands who heads a group of scientists studying the condition.

In Germany, one researcher thinks he has found what is triggering the clots. Andreas Greinacher, a blood expert, and his team at the University of Greifswald believe so-called viral vector vaccines—which use modified harmless cold viruses, known as adenoviruses, to convey genetic material into vaccine recipients to fight the coronavirus—could cause an autoimmune response that leads to blood clots. According to Prof. Greinacher, that reaction could be tied to stray proteins and a preservative he has found in the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Prof. Greinacher and his team has just begun examining Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine but has identified more than 1,000 proteins in AstraZeneca’s vaccine derived from human cells, as well as a preservative known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA. Their hypothesis is that EDTA, which is common to drugs and other products, helps those proteins stray into the bloodstream, where they bind to a blood component called platelet factor 4, or PF4, forming complexes that activate the production of antibodies.
