Now that coronavirus vaccines are starting to roll out in the US and abroad, many people may be dreaming of the day when they can travel, shop and go to the movies again. But in order to do those activities, you may eventually need something in addition to the vaccine: a vaccine passport application.
Several companies and technology groups have begun developing smartphone apps or systems for individuals to upload details of their Covid-19 tests and vaccinations, creating digital credentials that could be shown in order to enter concert venues, stadiums, movie theaters, offices, or even countries. The Common Trust Network, an initiative by Geneva-based nonprofit The Commons Project and the World Economic Forum, has partnered with several airlines including Cathay Pacific, JetBlue, Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, as well as hundreds of health systems across the United States and the government of Aruba. The CommonPass app created by the group allows users to upload medical data such as a Covid-19 test result or, eventually, a proof of vaccination by a hospital or medical professional, generating a health certificate or pass in the form of a QR code that can be shown to authorities without revealing sensitive information. For travel, the app lists health pass requirements at the points of departure and arrival based on your itinerary. "You can be tested every time you cross a border. You cannot be vaccinated every time you cross a border," Thomas Crampton, chief marketing and communications officer for The Commons Project, told CNN Business. He stressed the need for a simple and easily transferable set of credentials, or a "digital yellow card," referring to the paper document generally issued as proof of vaccination.

and those of us who cannot receive the vaccine for medical reasond? SOL i guess.
The one sitting on top of your nose.
“Glad I did all my traveling when we were free to do so.”
You and I both. I would like to cruise again if possible, but won’t if it requires a vaccine.
I wasn’t done traveling so I’ve been afraid they’d come up with something like this. I always have countries on my wish list.
First of all screw vaccines don’t ever take them
Secondly , screw totalitarian bureaucrats telling us what to do
Third , any documentation can easily be forged
And the airlines With all of the damage that they have accrued lately are going to have 100% desire to let people fly much as possible and not harass them
Essentially in this age you have to just adjust and if people are going to play by the old rules then you just say “
screw them”.
For example I am not going back to my YMCA
until they open the locker room the sauna and a hot tub.
it’s that simple
I’m fine with a temperature check I think that’s a legitimate way of screening people for health issues
I hate masks ; but if you’re in a private entity they can require you to wear one. Just like they can make you wear certain kind of clothes or shoes
Nobody on this planet can ever make you get an injection by a government entity Not in this country , with our constitution
this is already been decided by the Supreme Court
No luck totalitarian Democrats have always been completely evil about vaccines for a very long time now
they’re vaccination totalitarians to the extreme.
I think that given the medical establishments line about vaccines it was brilliant for Trump to take the lead with respect to COVID-19 and developing a vaccine
Personally I think vaccines are very stupid ; and cause much more harm than good.
If you want to talk about vaccinating against this coronavirus strain
why hasn’t the other influenza vaccines ever been affective at the point in which they’re calling him a shot not a vaccine?
Totalitarianism is on the RISE. and it must be FAUGHT
Absolute fascist tyranny.
The quacks driving this Covidian cult have already told us that the vaccine doesn’t actually prevent infection or transmission. If it doesn’t prevent us from getting or transmitting da ‘rona, of what possible relevance is it to travel?
Just like the muzzles and social dysfunctioning, this is just the next escalation in dominating you and forcing you to submit to increasingly onerous and invasive intrusions and control.
STOP COMPLYING WITH THIS GARBAGE.

You might wish to do some research before making such claims. For example:
“Jacobson v. Massachusetts8 is the seminal case regarding a state’s or municipality’s authority to institute a mandatory vaccination program as an exercise of its police powers. In Jacobson, the Supreme Court upheld a Massachusetts law that gave municipal boards of health the authority to require the vaccination of persons over the age of 21 against smallpox, and determined that the vaccination program instituted in the city of Cambridge had “a real and substantial relation to the
protection of the public health and safety.””
So this is something that may “eventually” be done? In other words, it’s not yet enacted? Then there’s time to stop it. Just one more reason why Pres. Trump MUST prevail in the current matter. Regardless whether he personally does anything to nip that particular madness in the bud or not, if he prevails he will set the tone. Setting the tone can be just as important as direct kinetic action.
If implementation is forced on America, my guess is that there will be a LOT of non-peaceful civil disobedience, beginning immediately afterward.
This will not work and not be allowed to take place on SO MANY LEVELS it makes the head spin. Right off the bat, however many vaccines are made available from different makers there still at this moment exists a hierarchy and priority structure around who gets it first (the old “picking winners and losers “ trope). People are going to want to travel , are GOING TO travel, every which way, car, bus, train, plane, in Jan.-Feb.,and WILL DEMAND that they be allowed to do that. Just wait when it becomes clear that the very process of travel will become SOLELY dependent on getting a vaccine, (or maybe even waiting longer for a follow-up vaccine, and then maybe waiting some more) total chaos will ensue. The lines of people (theoretically) will be so long and so desperate they won’t be able to be “served”. They think there’s pushback NOW????Haahahah.....just wait.The fear-mongering and instantly manufactured invitation to panic will come too thick and fast in the weeks and months following 1-20-2021 and eventually they’ll go too far and show their hand, more people will see the marked cards-—we’ll turn the table upside down, and
Do we get a yellow star with that or do we make our own?
And if the conventional and at this sorry point, “traditional” forms of “lockdown” we’re used to
will become too “hard a sell”, then we’ve got all
the newly fashioned anxiety over not being able to
travel to see family, on business, for interstate
transport, etc etc. and that in itself will function
as a kind of lockdown. Foolproof and seamless.
This puts to rest the derogatory term “anti-vaxxer”
Sorry! Unless you're a bi-racial trans-member of a non-religious affiliated group affiliated with the Democrat Party, you ain't going anywhere, bub.
There are still people without a smart phone. I personally have never even used one and have no intention of getting one just to travel.
To dissuade this push for covid documentation, make every person/company that demands proof... accept paper documentation.
Also make those companies retain records for years.
The goal is to swamp them in paper and then force them to allocate personal to validate documentation, file, and store.
Make it very inconvenient and costly to cross check vaccinations.
Anyone know all the side effects are of these vaccines; will you will ever be rid of them? Anyone know what’s really in the vaccines? Do the vaccines change your DNA or alter you in any way? Those getting the vaccine are the lab RATs.
An underground economy will blossom.
Speakeasy restaurants, bars and transportation.
But if I want to vote 20 or 30 times, or if I want to travel in order to deliver thousands of out of state democrat ballots...
Can’t have voter ID because of minorities, but screw them when it’s about carrying papers giving them “permission to travel” in their own country.
