The nation’s very first “vaccine passport” is coming to the Big Apple.
The program, dubbed the “Excelsior Pass,” is an app that will allow New Yorkers to prove their vaccination status, or recent history of a negative COVID-19 test, in order to gain entry to events and businesses, Governor Cuomo announced in a news release Friday.
“Similar to a mobile airline boarding pass, individuals will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app,” the news release explains.
“Each Pass will have a secure QR code, which participating businesses and venues can scan using a companion app to verify proof of COVID-19 negative test results or proof of vaccination. An individual’s data is kept secure and confidential at all times.”
The app won’t show any health information when scanned — it’ll only show a green checkmark if the person has been vaccinated or tested negatively or a red “x” if they haven’t.
Major venues, such as Madison Square Garden and the Times Union Center in Albany, will begin using the app next week and on April 2, Excelsior Pass will expand to “smaller arts, entertainment and event venues,” Cuomo’s office said.
The app, which launched Friday, already works to prove vaccination status or negative test results and can be used to gain access to wedding receptions, which now require negative tests from attendees, and other events above the social gathering limit.
“New Yorkers have proven they can follow public health guidance to beat back COVID, and the innovative Excelsior Pass is another tool in our new toolbox to fight the virus while allowing more sectors of the economy to reopen safely and keeping personal information secure,” Cuomo said in a statement.

Lotsa FReepers first in line to show off their ‘papers’.
😱🤢
Senses a business opportunity for fake QR Codes . . .
Best hurry...you’re behind the curve. We’ve already seen a few, right here.
Every time this turd opens his mouth it just validates why i won’t spend 2 seconds to help this state and i live in NYS.
Make no mistake about it... By next fall the government will be conducting massive roundups and shipping people somewhere unpleasant...
And the sheeple will shrug their shoulders, barely bat an eye, and go back to grazing peacefully...
How about a passport to fondle the office help? How about a passport to murder senior citizens?
“ The app won’t show any health information when scanned — it’ll only show a green checkmark if the person has been vaccinated or tested negatively or a red “x” if they haven’t.”
Um, isn’t a vaccination, or negative test health information?
Only those freepers who have been chiding us that we won’t lose any rights at the end of this hoax.
The worst thing about this is that they will require additional vaccinations to keep the passport current, including covid boosters (as they require), next season’s influenza shot (and additional seasons as they require), and MMR/TdAP vaccines.
They voted for DeBlasio for Mayor. And Cuomo for Governor. They hate Trump.
So why not have them stopped for the modern “Your papers, please.” “Your papers are not in order. You are coming with us. No you cannot go back inside to get your prescription medications or say goodbye to your family. Come with us now.”
True story: I am a Luddite. I hate technology.
I do not have a cell phone. Do not.
For car emergencies and being called in during Covid distancing mandates from the doctor or dentist parking lot, I have a minute phone (Tracfone). Can’t do anything modern or fancy like apps.
Andrew can take his app, and stick it where the sun don’t shine.
My ex-whatever - his grandmother and Dad each had a part of a finger CHOPPED off when they left Czechoslovakia to come to the USA. That was how you could “tell them apart” forever.
Lawsuits coming
Can you be forced to participate in a medical experiment just to obtain service from a business it’s a direct violation of the Nuremberg code which the United States is signatory nation to along with all sorts of medical ethics and other statutes
" Hey mate, these ladies say they have their vaccine passports. Wanna give it ago?"
Agree.
FReeple sheeple.
Yep, sheeple and another group I thought I’d never see on FR...Oprah lovers.
Earlier today I read this article from statnews, https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/23/federal-law-prohibits-employers-and-others-from-requiring-vaccination-with-a-covid-19-vaccine-distributed-under-an-eua/
It will be interesting to see NY’s efforts to get around this federal law.
The program, dubbed the “Excelsior Pass,” is an app that will allow New Yorkers to prove their vaccination status, or recent history of a negative COVID-19 test, in order to gain entry to events and businesses, Governor Cuomo announced in a news release Friday.

This MF should be facing murder charges.
