Once you have the infrastructure, and public acceptance, of carrying around a card that gives you privileges, or penalties, based on your immunization status, the architecture will be routinely expanded to give you privileges or sanctions based on any other kind of status, such as your status as a Correct-Thinking Individual.
Count on it.
The passports are expected to be free and available through smartphone apps, which could display a scannable code similar to an airline boarding pass The Biden administration and private companies are working to develop a standard way of handling credentials -- often referred to as "vaccine passports" -- that would allow Americans to prove they have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus as businesses try to reopen.
The effort has gained momentum amid President Joe Biden's pledge that the nation will start to regain normalcy this summer and with a growing number of companies -- from cruise lines to sports teams -- saying they will require proof of vaccination before opening their doors again.
...
The White House declined to answer questions about the passport initiative, instead pointing to public statements that Zients and other officials made this month.
...
Public health and ethics experts agreed that the Biden administration needed to strike a careful balance: Encourage shots and support the private-sector initiatives but don't put too much federal emphasis on the looming passports.
"If it became a government mandate, it would go down a dark road very quickly," said Brian Castrucci, who leads the Bethesda, Md.-based de Beaumont Foundation, a public health group funding Luntz's research into why some Americans are balking at the vaccine. "It becomes a credential. It becomes a 'needing your papers,' if you will. That could be dangerous - and it could turn off people."
Notice that they are once again insisting that if the government merely encourages, "coordinates," and facilitates an anti-freedom measure, but leaves it up to unaccountable, politically-connected megacorporations to enforce and execute -- then this isn't technically government-enforced fascism.
Just government-facilitated fascism.
The neocons continue pushing this absurd distinction between government action and government-connected-megacorporation action.
It's worked out so well for us in the areas of free speech and banking, hasn't it?
It's an end-run around human rights.
Some people understand this.
The Government-Worshipping Left and the Order Uber Alles and #MuhInstitutions-worshipping neocon pseudoright do not.
Don't like it? Move to new apps, banks, products--which are apps, banks, and products "extremists" use, so we're working to shut down those.
"If you don't want your Uber to require a vaccine passport--and a pledge to support the Human Rights Campaign, you're free to use another app."
WEEK LATER: "Dangerous new trend of domestic extremists using new ride-sharing app. We must shut it down immediately."
How are all the people who can't manage a picture ID to vote going to be able to manage a vaccine passport?
This is the absolute end of the line for human liberty in the West and if you don't understand why, ask a techie. Once you agree to this platform any functionality can be loaded into it turning off and on access to society, goods, information, movement, based on your behavior. 2/ Wake up world, for love of God. As I've been screaming for a year, it's not about virus, or even vaccine; it�s the data. The vaccine is an excuse, a Trojan Horse, to get you to agree to a platform that is ALREADY 360 degree surveillance, geolocation, turns society off and on.
3/Once this platform is 'mandated' you can no longer opt in or out of out as you do when you sign 'I agree' to terms and conditions on a website. You'll be FORCED to 'agree' in order to work, socialize, travel. Then any functionality -- social credit system that turns PayPal off.
4/ and on based on your social media behavior, or restricts you to your home based on whether you saw 'dissidents', which it will know, or a forbidden play the night before, can be loaded onto it with NO PROBLEM, w/o any additional consent from you which you can't revoke anyway.
And Democrats say that voter ID should not be mandated while jab-documation would be?
Time to get rid of the devices? We can do it you know. There was a day, not too long ago when you could drive to the store without a phone. And you made it back home without an incident.
Hell, Gates gave us an OS that practically invited computer viruses. Now he wants to infect other formerly respected disciplines with his crooked ineptness. Remember the GPS coordinates of his residence.
What about folks that are hearing impaired and use landline TDD phones; they won’t have smartphones or apps ?
Now that the communists are in the driver’s seat and in total control of all of us slaves, they will leave no control-stone unturned... So-to-speak...
microSOFTKILL BILL. One of the most EVIL people in the history of “civilization”.
I guess they’re doing away with that whole “HIPPA” thing. Funny that was put in so queers wouldn’t be embarrassed for having AIDS.
True, but as technology has changed, many people gave up on having land line phones and just have a cellular phone.
And a cellular phone evolved from just a phone to a mini personal computer with internet access.
Want to nip this thing in the bud? Tell them it should also be used for voter ID *grin*
People in the military are saying that their social media is already being put under a microscope to make sure any Trump supporters are not promoted.
If that is not the Chinese social credit score system in the US, I don’t know what is.
Of course that is what they are doing. They would NEVER call it “social credit score.” That would tell people that government has become Giant Brother. They will do it in a sneaky way. They will call it something nice, like “Vaccine Passport.” It will start with only that. Soon it will expand and become a social credit score.
They always do it that way.
I remember when they changed the registration plates. The new ones were reflective. They told us they would “save lives every year.” Recently, we found out that every police car, municipal vehicles, and who knows what other vehicles, have scanners which read the plates and record day/time/location/ in a data base. But they never told us explicitly that they were doing this! We found out!
They sneak. They give it a harmless sounding name. Like Patriot Act. Like the social security number, which is now the universal citizen identifier automatically making you a real person. Like the drivers license, automatically granting citizenship.
For your end times ping list.
Whoever does this should be run out of town on a rail.
Won’t be long before they move to cancel pensions and medical from retired military who express opinions they don’t like.
‘They’ really want a civil war. ‘They’ won’t like it.
End Times Ping
Here we go with a soft version of The Mark of The Beast.
Social Credit scores, behavior predictions and modifications, and control over your speech. All Constitutional of course!
PM me if you wish to be added to or removed from The End Times Ping list.
Maranatha!
Where’s the gif from that show with the woman at the airport being asked to leave by the smiling military-ops-looking guy?
I’ve only seen the short clip on Yoooooooootooooooob and don’t remember what it was called.
Here you go
