If you want to travel next year, you may need a vaccine passport

Now that coronavirus vaccines are starting to roll out in the US and abroad, many people may be dreaming of the day when they can travel, shop and go to the movies again. But in order to do those activities, you may eventually need something in addition to the vaccine: a vaccine passport application.

Several companies and technology groups have begun developing smartphone apps or systems for individuals to upload details of their Covid-19 tests and vaccinations, creating digital credentials that could be shown in order to enter concert venues, stadiums, movie theaters, offices, or even countries. The Common Trust Network, an initiative by Geneva-based nonprofit The Commons Project and the World Economic Forum, has partnered with several airlines including Cathay Pacific, JetBlue, Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, as well as hundreds of health systems across the United States and the government of Aruba. The CommonPass app created by the group allows users to upload medical data such as a Covid-19 test result or, eventually, a proof of vaccination by a hospital or medical professional, generating a health certificate or pass in the form of a QR code that can be shown to authorities without revealing sensitive information. For travel, the app lists health pass requirements at the points of departure and arrival based on your itinerary. "You can be tested every time you cross a border. You cannot be vaccinated every time you cross a border," Thomas Crampton, chief marketing and communications officer for The Commons Project, told CNN Business. He stressed the need for a simple and easily transferable set of credentials, or a "digital yellow card," referring to the paper document generally issued as proof of vaccination.

If you got a Covid vaccine, why the hell would you need to be tested every time you travel?

Again, all that matters is you :)

To hell with the rest of the world, even the youth in your own family, is what you are saying.

More likely just a way to say where you’ve been.

Does it make you feel more important? :)

‘Internal Passports.’ What many people do not know is that while the USSR did indeed have these Internal Passports, they did not issue them to a large percentage of the populace. And, since one could not travel between states and even counties without this Passport, most of the ‘citizens’ could not move around within the country. This, along with the constant rationing of food, controlled the populace. Leftist Liberal Creepozoids like Chuck You Schumer, Pelousy, are salivating at the prospect of such a system. Since Google has already created a social point system for the Chicoms, instituting it here would be easy. In the USSR, if one dared to state anything other than the prescribed propaganda, one could not only lose the Passport, one would lose the ability to attend any kind of higher education. Your Ration card would be reduced, or eliminated. From then on your very access to food depended on the kindness of others. And, anyone now ‘helping’ you with food was now also suspect. Just read ‘To Build a Castle’ by Vladimir Bukovsky.

Assuming that the virus will be under control by spring we're planning a trip to Asia.I,unlike some Freepers,am not opposed in any way to the vaccine (25 year career in health care) so I'm planning to get it anyway...even without travel plans.I assume that the countries we travel to will require some sort of documentation on arrival.

It just so happens to be unconstitutional to demand any kind of passport for US citizens to travel between any two states.
Not to mention, its unlawful to try to force anyone to take any vaccine, let alone a totally new vaccine, which has not been fully tested and which is already showing signs of unpredictable effects on those who have already taken it.

The people of the USSR were smart enough to eventually dump communism and its dictatorial , far left, soul killing, mass murdering ways.
Unfortunately, Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer and the Democratic Party of America decided to embrace the same policies the communists just got rid if.

IMO only a cowardly anti-American POS would get the mark of the beast vaccine.

Globalists, big tech, universities, gubmints at all levels - all are going to love this CN-virus passport to be applied everywhere. The opportunities to make money, new markets, perform analytics, keep data on people, control who may and may not do certain things, be certain places, pay certain prices, etc are limitless.
