It's not perfect, but more aligned with conservatives than liberals.

Just wait until this is tied to DHS, your bank, your Twitter and Facebook accounts, your FR account, your food store, your gun store, your gasoline station, the local sheriff’s office, etc. Your “COVID Score” will morph into your “Social Score” a la China. You will be persona non grata if you don’t comply with the borg.

With 100 million people getting vaccinated, and afaik most of them with paper documents, how on earth are they going to go back and register all these people into any kind of system? Assuming they still have their cards, assuming they are legible and not accidentally washed in the laundry, and assuming they are willing and able to get ‘registered’ what are people going to do? Go to the local DMV and stand in line? Should it be reverse priority? E.g. the most productive people go first, and retirees go last?

And what about people that had the virus before there were any tests for it, and thus are immune and need no shots for it?

That’s another category along with folks that can’t get the jab (medical & availability reasons).

It is not exclusively digital. A system that is exclusively digital, whether by design or as a practical matter, would be a nonstarter because it would increase inequality. Many people don’t have smartphones, including disproportionate numbers from some of our most vulnerable communities, such as people who are low-income, have disabilities, or are homeless, as well as more than 40 percent of people over age 65

Agree with this going forward.

All unemployed in the future must have verified by ID.Me or another private verification company hired by the government. Colorado and others made it mandatory starting April 4.

Verification requires a very new smart phone with a good camera, with a Google Chrome browser.

Feature phones, flip-phones and lower cost smart phones won’t work. And there is no other option for verification (no longer can pop into an unemployment office with your drivers license and other documents)

Or you can just say it is racist. People in the developing countries won’t have access until next year at least. These “passports” are racist it’s like building a wall to keep them out of the country.

Urinate on the idea. A whole lot of people have fought and died for “LIBERTY”. I see NO reason to simply let politicians use a chinese bio-weapon attack as an excuse to surrender it to them.The sad truth is that our political class is in bed with the communist chinese. They know that this was a “biological attack” on our country. But, they care more about the money from the chinese communists and globalists than they do us and our freedom. We are now just livestock in a pen, waiting to be auctioned off, enslaved and butchered. The only question that remains, is “who wins all the marbles” Will it be the marxists with their idiotic ideology or the globalists and their unbridled greed?

Ah, other one with reading comprehension problems.

Where in any of my posts do I agree with these policies?

Those people shouldn’t get shut out of full participation in our society.

Getting shut out is not a byproduct, but rather is a feature of the Great Reset.

That's the purpose of new strains. As Bibi just said for Israeli's, we'll need to have boosters every 6 months.

How about where you say “Agree with this going forward. “

Actually, never mind, don’t want to here your BS rationalizations.

We also worry that a vaccine passport will encourage over-use. The issues around passport design are separate from the question of where and when people can be required to furnish proof of vaccinations, but if a passport system makes it very easy to ask for and to provide proof of vaccination, it’s likely that such requests will become over-used as people get asked for credentials at every turn. While there are legitimate circumstances in which people can be asked for proof of vaccination, we don’t want to turn into a checkpoint society that outlasts the danger of COVID and that casually excludes people without credentials from facilities where vaccine mandates are not highly justified.


Good read for people who still think this is just about airpports and say I don’t care because I don’t live in the city and don’t fly.

I agreed with the paragraph then I gave a example how those without smart phones will be shut out of even government services in the very near future (that’s what the paragraph was about)

I guess reading is not one of your strong points

May I suggest “Reading is Fundamental” so you can pick up some basic reading skills?

First, no coherent connection to the paragraph.

Second and more importantly, my point stands that if you think there is anything AT ALL non totalitarian in the idea of ‘vaccine passports’ , which you seem to worry will not be fair or something, then you would be a good fit for our coming gestasi.

Biden has effectively exempted illegal aliens from Covid-testing - they can pour over the borders, are briefly detained by ICE, so as to concentrate the virus, and then allowed to spread out and infiltrate the country at large, regardless of their Covid status, to infect millions of innocent Americans.

Problem solved! (In Democrat eyes.)
