This is NOT the Mark of the Antichrist Beast from Revelation chapter 13

This IS an example of society being conditioned to biometric scanning

It's cool technology, no doubt about that

Not super-high tech but like COVID-19(84) you'll eventually submit to the system or be outside of the circle

Nothing to be frightened of yet

But do be aware of the trends

As always, YMMV

ID to see the doc, but not to vote...

Continuing proof of where Big Med’s and Deep State’s priorities are...

much like doing away with the dollar and going digital, doing away with mail in bills and debiting your checking account. What would seem to be innocents and a march toward tech could also bring a way to control you

I’m ready to buy a fake fur coat, self-identify as a cat, and go to my vet for healthcare.

None of this crap there so far...

Baycare in Tampa Bay has had this for years.

“”The service will help NYU Langone speed up the sign-in process, reduce wait times and alleviate administrative workloads.””

Sounds like BS to me. I would really like for someone to splain ‘how’ this would be more efficient than a standard sign-in sheet... how it would “reduce wait times” (they either have enough doctors and don’t overbook appointments.. or not).... and how it would alleviate workloads, since somebody extra would have to be tasked with checking the electronic “sign-in” process. It’s either the same workload, or more of a workload due to the ‘improved technology’.

I don’t see how it would equate to what they are claiming. But the clueless useful idiots will rush to get in on the new, hip and ‘cool’ way to check in... never realizing that this improved tech costs money and that cost will be passed on to ALL of the patients (not just the ones using palm-scnning) via their ever-expanding medical bills. Pushed as a convenience, it will just further drain wallets and lead to even more invasive ‘improvements’.

“”“That’s both a positive experience for the patient to be able to actually get in faster, and requires less work on our part having to authenticate who the patient is,” Rubin said.””

As for having to “authenticate” who a patient is... that’s what patient medical files, now computerized, are for. It ain’t rocket science.

Also, re: palm-scanning tech in retail... how does the customer know that these templates of their palms will be encrypted and safe from fraud, hacking or any other kind of mischief. There is no guarantee that I can see. And as for the long-term low-dose infrared use danger, scientists and those pushing this tech have no idea how it might cause adverse damage to the user of these palm-scanning devices. And these are probably the same folks that sold the “safe and effective” jab line. I’ll stick with the old fashioned credit card for payment, and sign-in sheets for medical appointments.

You’ll never be able to stop the tech (which in some cases may actually be very helpful).

All we, as Americans, have to do is control the use of the information.

It must all be in accordance with the Constitution...in other words, no use of it to persecute people who expressed a conservative opinion, etc.

Urging terrorism is one thing and should be stopped. This would be such as BLM, which because it was leftist, remains unpunished to this day.

The only thing we need to fear is having the government use regular ID information, such as a palm print, to track what it perceives as enemies. Not surprisingly, it’s leftist governments that do this more than anybody else.

But you can’t stop technology...just control its use and protect against misuse.
