Similarly, the Vaccination Credential Initiative — which includes IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, Mayo Clinic and the Commons Project, a nonprofit with a vaccine passport app currently working with some airlines — is also playing a key role in developing US standards for digital health passes, including its approach to data privacy. Members of the not-for-profit will be required to not collect or store user data. In March, Walmart announced it will use the standard being developed under VCI to anyone vaccinated at its stores and Sam’s Club locations...
“We are seeing a wave of closed group systems like IBM that are not letting anyone else come into that system and build onto it,” she said. “What we will see with wave two is apps [that can work together]; that’s when enforcement and community alignment comes in. Anyone who wants to play has to play by the same rules when it comes to security, privacy and match standards for interoperability.”
John Verdi, vice president of policy at the Future of Privacy Forum, said it’s too soon to see what methods will prove most popular but he expects to see a handful of approaches: “We’ve seen this dynamic with contact tracing frameworks, payment cards and other technologies.”
At the same time, people won’t likely want to manage too many digital health pass apps, and it’s possible businesses will accept only a few, much like credit cards at retail locations.

I will not comply
Guess I’m not traveling
There’s no need for any of it.
“It could get complicated”
No, it’s simple. If I can live without it, I’ll live without it.
I boycott for life.
I’ve cut travel by 50 percent and am also will to cut the remaining 50
Note to retailers, entertainment and sports venues, restaurants attempting to blackmail me into submission: I don’t need papers please or a muzzle to shop on Amazon, don’t watch pro or collegiate sports anymore, and cook at home.
Your move.
Amen. If you have the vax, why do you care if I don’t?
If the airlines do this, we should all go on the airline ticketing websites and start the process of buying a ticket only to quit when they get to the Health Passport questions. That “Denial of Service” attack would crash their website.
A life as a misanthropic hermit is becoming more and more appealing.
Wait until states and countries decide which vaccine they allow and disallow. What a FUBAR. No worries the false prophet will figure it out in a few years and there will be peace on earth.
Remember when anyone who discussed this possabality was considered a conspiracy theorist?
It’s amazing how nobody dies except by the virus .... all a lie from the liars
Don’t hold your breath waiting. The NY rollout was a miserable failure.
Then the population will continue to shift to the freedom loving states and the battleground will be set between the free and unfree regions.
great idea
Lately I’ve been watching videos of perfectly nice, abandoned towns in W. Texas. I’m thinking that I may want to move in.
I am going to say that I don’t have a phone and that they are discriminating against me because hispanics suffer from the “digital divide.”
And no, I am not hispanic. Only a sucker plays a rigged game by its crooked rules.
I hope that you have a cult following or a monastic disposition because West Texas is empty, desolate, and hot.
