Vaccine passports were the plan from the start. The first step towards a Chinese-style social credit system and digital surveillance of the entire population. They will keep adding aspects of your life to the app until it knows everything about you and you can’t do anything without its permission. When they get rid of cash and make all financial transactions electronic, the government will decide how and where you can spend your money. If you drink too much, you’re not allowed to buy alcohol today, for your own good. If you’re too fat, you can’t have that cake. Have an apple instead, for your own good. If you express opinions that offend the wrong people, you can be prevented from travelling or using the internet, or even buying food, until you change your thinking. That’s how things work in China right now. And it’s what they intend to implement here. Vaccine passports are the first step towards total surveillance and control. If we’re foolish enough to co-operate, we are signing our culture’s death warrant.
