Is anyone concerned that in Illinois a vaccine passport is required to access government services and many businesses in order to register and prove your identity, Experian, a Credit Rating Agency is charge of the personal identification. A quote from the article... Residents accessing the program must verify their information through consumer credit rating firm Experian and could use it for certain areas of concerts at the Illinois State Fair as early as Thursday.

It’s Illinois.
What could go right?

[rarestia]

I hope any prominent performers at the Illinois State Fair cancel outright. This is just absurd.

[EBH]

Can’t buy, sell, trade, or live in society...

Sure sound awful familiar to me.

Wow.

[saintgermaine]

You got that right, a state run by a bunch of certified crooks.

[skr]

Straight for the financial jugular instead of verifying by state IDs.

[bigbob]

I’m not sure a system created by government could be any better. It’s the whole idea that is flawed, not just this implementation.

[ptsal]

Buy LifeLock and really round out the identity package. /s

[srmanuel]

The dangerous part of this is the combining of a vaccine passport with credit information, don’t get the vaccine or in the future don’t the booster shot, lose access to credit, want to buy a new car or finance a house forget about it....

The interest many people pay on their credit cards skyrockets without a good credit score which is impossible without up to date vaccine status....

I live in Illinois, and I have not heard anything about this program. Must be just for people in Cook County, and the collar counties.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You misspelled Crook County.

[Mr. K]

soon they ALL will be doing it, so that you cannot buy or sell without it

[EEGator]

I hate Illinois Nazis...

[I want the USA back]

It won’t take much to turn that into a social score, like in china.

What’s coming: implanting a device in every wrist that continuously displays one’s social score? If your score goes below “failing” it automatically terminates you after siphoning off all your money from your accounts.

Don’t laugh.

Even worse, I've seen a movement developing among nitwits on social media at getting your vax status tied in to background checks. Example - if police run your driver's license or ID for some reason it would show whether or not you took the shot. Lots of goosesteppers among us out there.

This isn't a Vax Passport App. It is website portal to retrieve all vaccination status and grant access to third party providers. Evidently, all Illinois vaccinations have been reported to I-CARE since 2007 unless you opted out with your healthcare provider. If you lose your C19 Vax card, this is how you get a replacement.
