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.

Don’t let the vaccine passport nonsense get you all worked up. The crazy talk from the media is only one of many efforts from the left to bother you and waste your time. Do something more important, like securing those stupid crackphones from the real privacy violations already running on them.
If its too difficult for people to show an ID to vote,
then its too difficult for me to show you a vaccine passport.
Nazi azzholes.
That’s an idiotic statement to direct to the people on this site.
We know Trump got more legitimate votes. We saw the election stolen. We saw the courts and legislatures do their Pontius Pilate routines.
vaccine pasport will be worthless.
Why are we still talking about voting ?
Are we going to vote again ? If we do, will it be counted ?
I know my answers.
yeh! what if you don’t have a cell phone? Will the government provide one? What if it goes against your conscious?
What you say about this being the first level of communism is true but I didn't vote for Biden and communism and tens of millions Trump supporters didn't either.
Hundreds of thousands of Biden votes in the contested swing states were not votes for him, but fraudulent ballots stuffed in the ballot boxes with no actual voters backing them up.
The election was stolen from Trump. We didn't elect Biden. He cheated to get in office.
He had the help of the democRATic party, the GOP RINOs, the MSM and the partisan court system. All the enemies of Trump were arrayed against him to install the communists in power.
Not ‘everybody’ that visits the forums, were Trump voters.
Mind you, I said ‘visits’.
