CommonPass: Digital health passports have arrived

[Babak]

Welcome to your New world order:

No Health passport? No travel.


It has been over six months since Australia instituted a historic travel ban that prevents most people from leaving the country.

For many, that means six months of personal upheaval and separation from loved ones; for others, the frustration of unfulfilled wanderlust.

While Australia’s outgoing travel restrictions are among the most strict anywhere, all nations are struggling with how to move past blanket bans and resume international travel.

And some nations think they have the answer.

Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States and Chile are among the countries that are looking into so-called ‘immunity passports’ or ‘COVID-free passports’.

It is now being floated as a ‘solution’ that could unlock world travel sooner than a vaccine arrives.

In collaboration with The Commons Project, the World Economic Forum is supporting the development and launch of CommonPass, an initiative which aims to “develop a global, interoperable framework to safely restore cross-border travel to pre-pandemic levels”:

Hmm. I had a feeling something like this would take affect. Just wait until these vaccines start coming out. I for one, will be waiting it out.

This would actually open up business opportunity for Elon Musk or some other billionaire to start an airline where you can go with or without a vaccine. Especially if people only got them because they had to travel, and didn't give a fuck about corona. But it doesnt really change much considering they can already track air passengers with their normal passports.

If they end up introducing legislation like needing to get vaccinated before travelling then that will be a different story.

One can really start to wildly hypothesise about how this digital health ID and digital currency can interweave together to control every aspect of our lives. There could be restrictions on purchasing too much animal protein, for example, for reasons of health and climate change. Or linking your home IP address to it and restricting your financial transactions if you're viewing unapproved material online or participating in "hate speech." The possibilities for societal control are really endless.
