Vaccine passports are hardly a novel concept. Countries around the globe, to curb the spread of deadly diseases, require foreign visitors to present certificates of vaccination. Many of our own states have vaccination requirements for kids to attend school.
But a technology implementation that will allow people to present a QR code on their smartphone to prove they’ve been vaccinated is something new. The past two months have witnessed a proliferation of plans by states, countries, companies, and international consortia to develop digital vaccine passports. Though the building blocks for digital vaccine passes have been around for a while, such a technology has never been deployed on such a large scale, and with such a big potential impact on people’s lives. This is what has some people concerned. Equity-minded folks are concerned about stratifying society between vaccine haves and have-nots. Privacy activists are worried about increased surveillance. Republican politicians are crying government overreach.
Every vaccine passport technologist I’ve interviewed has asked me not to call them vaccine passports. Drummond Reed is the chief trust officer at Evernym—the technology underlying the International Air Transport Association (IATA)’s TravelPass initiative. He prefers “vaccine pass” because it’s more accurate. “Passports are inherently discriminatory,” says Reed. They have age and citizenship requirements, “and that’s not consistent with being able to get a vaccination or a COVID test.” Unlike vaccine passes, passports also require strong proof of identity and are issued only by governments.

No thanks.
Yeah to vote but hey...dont ask for a pic ID...
Are you a Sheep ?
Dream on, Mother Jones. Your socialism is showing.
The vaccine passport scheme is dead on arrival.
Vaccination Passport, excellent voter ID....BRING IT!
( knowing that the treasonous Alinskyites will back off immediately)
LOL. You beat me to it. Mother Jones as a “news” outlet?
Woman suffers agonizing rash after vaccine
“ “My skin was so sore and constantly hot. I have never felt pain like this – it has been a horrible experience,” said the hairdresser, the mother of a 13-year-old autistic boy named Aidan.
“I am a very healthy person and am not on any medication or anything like that. I am not even in a vulnerable category,” King told the news outlet. “I only got the vaccine as I am an unpaid carer for my son, who has autism and mobility issues.”
She added: “I haven’t even been able to care for him since I got the vaccine as I am in such pain.”
So you’d need a passport AND an iPhone.
Meanwhile, with the passage of time, the “ vaccines “ continue to cause increasingly bad side effects.
Even Dr. Falsi is trying to backtrack.
If one is needed to have my vote legitimately counted I’ll consider it.
Mother Jones LOL!
unless there’s massive counterfeit vax cards available to all RAT voters the RATS will NEVER give up the illegal/ghost votes for vax voter id
Note... see: Johnson and Johnson's only TRUE vaccine (preventative vaccine against infection) of covid— had 70 million doses destroyed by negligent subcontractor.
Personally— this is Pharma sabotage— Pfizer was fronted billions for “distribution” and has margins of profit in the 600% range for every dose “covered” or paid for by any entity.
Just one example. Note the Pfizer “vaccine” is to “obviate or ameliorate the symptoms of covid infection”— not prevent it.
A true vaccine would prevent infection by building antibodies/antiviral response to the current coronavirus of choice. Of course natural immunity can be derived from well known and publicized supplement preventing infection through the ACE2 lung cell surface receptors. Sorry, a side comment.

Where have I read at FR that this is the beginning of Chicom-style social justice points? Post thought-crimes at FR or FB or Twitter, watch the wrong movies, drive an internal combustion engined car, own guns . . . and get too far on the wrong side of the thought police can mean loss of employment, non-acceptance to college, banishment from air travel, etc.
No need. Voting in future elections will be Kabuki theater. The pre-selected Demonicrat winners will be announced by the Demonicrat kakistocracy.
LOL!! That doesn’t effect me. I’ve already decided I won’t be voting ever again.
Well .. welcome to first level communism.
You all voted for it, so you got it.
You gave the key to the village scrounger, now live with it.
Radical insane mother jones says vaccine “passports” are coming and is defending them. That means they are coming for sure.
