Think Carefully About Accepting The Concept Of Vaccine Passports

As the architects of the Build Back Better society assist you in
creating easier ways to show your vaccinated and compliant status,
perhaps it is prudent to pause and think about the discussions that
take place behind the opaque glass doors.

Right now, as you are reading this, under the guise of enhancing your
safety, the U.S. federal government is in discussions with
multinational corporations and employers of citizens to create a more
efficient process for you to register your vaccine compliance.

You may know their conversation under the terminology of a COVID
passport. The current goal is to make a system for you to show your
authorized work status; which, as you know, is based on your obedience
to a mandated vaccine.

Beta tests are being conducted in various nations, each with different
perspectives and constitutional limitations based on pesky archaic
rules and laws that govern freedom. For the western, or for lack of a
better word ‘democratic‘ outlook, Australia is leading the way with
their technological system of vaccination check points and registered
state/national vaccination status tied to your registration
identification.

The checkpoints are essentially gateways where QR codes are being
scanned from the cell phones of the compliant vaccinated citizen. Yes
comrades, there’s an App for that.

Currently the vaccine status scans are registered by happy compliance
workers, greeters at the entry to the business or venue. Indeed, the
WalMart greeter has a new gadget to scan your phone prior to allowing
you custody of a shopping cart.

In restaurants, the host or hostess has a similar compliance scanner
to check you in prior to seating or reservation confirmation.

It’s simple and fun. You pull up your QR code on your cell phone (aka
portable transponder and registration device), using the registration
App, and your phone is scanned delivering a green check response to
confirm your correct vaccination status and authorized entry.

The Australian government, at both a federal and state level, is
working closely with Big Tech companies (thirsting for the national
contract) to evaluate the best universal process that can be deployed
nationwide.

As noted by all six Premiers in the states down under, hardware
(scanners) and software (registration) systems are all being tested to
find the most comprehensive/convenient portable units to settle upon.
Meanwhile in the U.S., cities like Los Angeles and New York await the
beta test conclusion before deploying their own version of the same
process.

In Europe, they are also testing their vaccine checkpoint and
registration processes known as the EU “Green Pass.”

The “Green Pass” is a similar technological system that gives a
vaccinated and registered citizen access to all the venues and
locations previously locked down while the COVID-19 virus was being
mitigated. What would have been called a “vast right-wing conspiracy
theory” 24 months ago, is now a COVID passport process well underway.

As with all things in our rapid technological era, you do not have to
squint to see the horizon and accept that eventually this process will
automate, and there will be a gadget or scanning gateway automatically
granting you access without a person needing to stand there and scan
each cell phone QR code individually.

The automated process just makes sense. You are well aware your cell
phone already transmits an electronic beacon enabling your Uber or
Lyft driver access to your location at the push of a touchscreen
button, another convenient App on your phone. So, why wouldn’t the
gateways just accept this same recognizable transmission as
registration of your vaccine compliant arrival at the coffee shop?

The automated version is far easier and way more cool than having to
reach into your pocket or purse and pulling up that pesky QR code on
the screen. Smiles everyone, the partnership between Big Tech and Big
Government is always there to make your transit more streamline and
seamless. Heck, you won’t even notice the electronic receiver mounted
at the entry. Give it a few weeks and you won’t remember the reason
you were laughing at Alex Jones any more than you remember why you are
taking off your shoes at the airport.

However, as this process is created, it is worth considering that you
are being quietly changed from an individual person to a product. Some
are starting to worry in the beta test:

    […] “you must become an object with attributes sitting in a
database. Instead of roaming around anonymously making all sorts of
transactions without the government’s knowledge, Australians find
themselves passing through ‘gates’. …

    All product-based systems have these gates to control the flow of
stock and weed out errors. It is how computers see things. The more
gates, the more clarity.

    You are updating the government like a parcel pings Australia Post
on its way to a customer. If a fault is found, automatic alerts are
issued and you are stopped from proceeding. In New South Wales, this
comes in the form of a big red ‘X’ on the myGov vaccine passport app
(if you managed to link your Medicare account without smashing the
phone to bits).

    Gate-keeping systems have been adapted from retail and transformed
into human-based crowd solutions to micromanage millions of lives with
the same ruthless efficiency as barcodes tracking stock. There is no
nuance or humanity in this soulless digital age. Barcodes are binary.
Good – bad. Citizen or dissident.

    Even if you have all the required government attributes to pass
through the gates – two vaccines, six boosters, and a lifelong
subscription to Microsoft – something could go wrong. If your data
fails the scan, you’ll slip into digital purgatory and become an error
message. (read more)

It could be problematic if your status fails to register correctly, or
if the system identifies some form of non-compliance that will block
you from entry. Then again, that’s what beta tests are for, working
out all these techno bugs and stuff. Not to worry…. move along….

Then again…

    “For those in the privileged class allowed to shop, take note of
Covid signs which encourage cashless transactions under the guise of
‘health’. Messaging around cards being ‘safer’ will increase until the
Treasury tries to remove cash entirely, almost certainly with public
approval.”

Wait, now we are squinting at that familar image on the horizon
because we know those who control things have been talking about a
cashless society for quite a while.

We also know that data is considered a major commodity all by itself.
Why do you think every system you encounter in the modern era requires
your phone number even when you are not registering for anything. It,
meaning you, us, are all getting linked into this modern registration
system that is defining our status. We also know that system operators
buy and sell our registered status amid various retail and technology
systems.

Yeah, that opaque shadow is getting a little clearer now.

Perhaps you attempt to purchase dog food and get denied entry into Pet
Smart because you didn’t renew the car registration.  Or perhaps you
are blocked from entry because you forgot to change the oil on the
leased vehicle you drive and Toyota has this weird agreement with some
retail consortium.   You head to the oil change place that
conveniently pops up in the citizen compliance App –it’s only two
blocks away– they clear the alert after they do the oil and you are
gateway compliant again.

Missed your booster shot? We’re sorry citizen, your bank account is
frozen until your compliance is restored… please proceed to the
nearest vaccination office as displayed conveniently on your cell
phone screen to open access to all further gates (checkpoints)…. tap
to continue…
