Not so dystopian now.

The Biden administration and private firms are reportedly developing a ‘vaccine passport’ that will allow Americans to return to pre-pandemic activities like travel and shopping by showing proof they’ve been inoculated against COVID-19.

The ‘vaccine passport’ is considered key to meeting the administration’s goal of emerging from the lockdown and returning to a semblance of normalcy this summer.

Vaccinated Americans will be able to flash a scannable code while those who do not have phones could print out a code on a piece of paper, according to The Washington Post.

According to the Biden administration, there are currently at least 17 different passport initiatives being developed by public and private entities.

The World Health Organization is working to develop a ‘smart vaccination certificate.’

New York State officials have launched a digital pass New Yorkers can download to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.

The Excelsior Pass will be accepted at major entertainment venues like Madison Square Garden and Albany’s Times Union Center.

    We are all going to be forced to ask ourselves how much we are going to give up to so as to not give up our privacy.


    I'll be OK giving up going to live events, I guess. When the airlines are forced to mandate one of these things, it is going to be a tough decision. There are places to which you cannot drive.

    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    So how is this ok and in fact being pushed for, while an ID to vote is oppression?

  • Don McManusDon McManus Member Posts: 23,672 ✭✭✭✭

    They are both manipulation of the population. Directly in this case, as one's access to venues, travel, and in all likelihood, Federal Government facilities will be tied to one's vaccination status and consent to be monitored.

    Demanding ID for voting limits the ability of the less-than-honest to manipulate the population by correcting an improper outcome when the population votes.

    Both come from benevolence and the desire to look out for us and improve our lives.

    We are viewed by the deep state as needing their guidance, and these two policies are just reflections of their generosity of spirit.

    The devil is always in the details one decree protects the elites while the other gives the elites far more latitude to manipulate the so called democracy. They protect themselves by using a democracy in voting but if they find it not to their liking they knock it down by using the The Republic's right to interfere against the majority for the greater good.

    Like for instances Transgender rights.it's amoral and a trans-humanism religion coming to bear for all to see. In the public domain they control everything and vanquish any discord in the name of inclusiveness.
