Virginia is now the fifth U.S. state to adopt the SMART Health format for QR codes, empowering individuals with trustworthy and verifiable copies of their vaccination records in digital or paper form using open, interoperable standards. The framework and standards were developed by VCI, a coalition of more than 800 public and private organizations – including The Mayo Clinic, Boston Children’s Hospital, Microsoft, MITRE, and The Commons Project Foundation.

Mark of the Beast.
Tucker Carlson predicted this several days ago
Time to hack databases.
Lots of under the table earnings to be made.
Collect UI and fight the man at the same time...
They are acting like this is a good thing.
I dont think so
Or, stamped on their right hand or on their forehead.
Forehead or wrist?
If we have to get it stamped on our body, I know the exact place I want mine. Hopefully, they make really small stamps.
Just get the saved QR code jpg off the net and put it on your phone.
I must have been asleep when QR codes suddenly became secure. I have always seen them as a security risk but I guess the Biden magic wand turned water into wine with this.
Geez. Another thing I won’t be getting. 😱💉🐴💩
Lets forget about this you are supposed to be upset about the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Or you should be mad about the genocidal Chinese I read the BBC News stories every week about the Uighur Muslims and Glenn Beck was repeating the story on his show today.
Joe Biden formed an anti-China alliance with Australia and the UK this week.
Get on the page forget about COVID tyranny in the USA and listen to the BBC, Joe Biden and Glenn Beck.
You need to be worried about China people...sarc
As part of the vaccination process they could just tattoo the QR code on your butt.
Meanwhile, the fully vaxxed are contracting and spreading CoupFlu
Which means these QR codes aren’t about public health, either, are they...
BKMK
Possibly a matter of months before the forehead tattoos will be mandatory for non-vaxers...
IAC, it will be the first item on the communist’s agenda after they sweep the 22 mid-terms...
As was just proven in the CA recall last week, no matter how bad things look, initially, for the communist candidates, come election vote-counting day the Soros army will have done their job perfectly once again...
In liquor store, minimart, & government-school basements or storage facilities all across the US, the Soros money is expanding and preparing the ballot-producing machines in anticipation of the final lists of the candidates for the communist party...
Because the Internet is so secure.
Headline coming soon: HHS Accesses State Covid QR Codes to Help Identify Anti-Vaxxers
Anything digital can be hacked.....
I am so glad that God moved us from the commie state of Virginia. I saw the walls closing in. So happy to NOT live there any longer....Happy all of my family has moved as well.
Good riddance, Virginia!
‘Digitally signed’ QR codes? Uh, no. I do not believe such a thing exists. The full RFC for QR codes is available from IETF. I can find no reference for a ‘digital signature’ to be included in a QR code. I could see how you could do it using public keys and such, but find no reference to including that in the RFC defining the data structure.
An FDA Panel Says Only High-Risk Americans And Those 65+ Should Get COVID Boosters
September 17, 20213:45 PM ET, Scott Hensley
In a surprising vote, a panel of advisers to the Food and Drug Administration recommended against approval of a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for people 16 years and older.
The 16-2 vote against broad use of the booster, which would be given about six months after completion of the two-dose immunization regimen, dealt a setback to Pfizer and complicates the FDA’s approach to boosters.
After a brief intermission following the rejection, FDA officials returned to the meeting with a revised booster question. The panel then voted 18-0 in support of the agency authorizing a booster shot of the vaccine for people 65 and older or at high risk of severe COVID-19.
The FDA then polled the panel members for advice on other groups of people who might be considered for a booster. Though not an official vote, the panel members unanimously supported authorization of a Pfizer booster dose for health care workers or others at high risk of occupational coronavirus exposure.
The agency typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, though it isn’t required to.
The Biden administration said in August that it planned to make booster shots available during the week of Sept. 20. That announcement was controversial because it came before the FDA had weighed Pfizer’s application and before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own panel of experts on immunization practices could consider the need for boosters.
The rise of the highly infectious delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and some evidence that the Pfizer vaccine’s protection against infections wanes with time are two of the factors that were cited in support of a booster.
But presentations Friday generally showed that the vaccine is still effective in protecting immunized people against severe illness, hospitalization and death in the United States.
Separately, however, an analysis published Friday in the CDC’s “Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report” found that the Pfizer vaccine’s protection against COVID-19 hospitalization dropped from 91% during the first 120 days after vaccination to 77% in the days after that.
Over the course of the meeting, speakers from the FDA, Pfizer, the CDC, Israel and the U.K. presented data on the state of the coronavirus pandemic, experience with the Pfizer vaccine and lab tests.
The most direct support for the Pfizer booster came from laboratory work and a clinical study done by Pfizer that involved a little over 300 people.
“The difficulty for the committee is that you’re making incredibly important policy decisions very rapidly in a situation of uncertainty,” said Jonathan Sterne, a statistician from the University of Bristol who made a presentation to the panel.
