The implementation of vaccine passports is facilitating the establishment of digital identity infrastructure around the world. It is the proverbial foot in the door for digital ID platforms, which in turn are necessary to install central bank digital currencies.

If vaccine passport systems are made a permanent feature of the global legal landscape, it will presumably mean that anyone who is not up to date with their vaccine schedule will not be able to cross international borders in the future. And that would essentially mean the end of two fundamental ethical principles underpinning modern medicine: bodily autonomy (the right to make decisions over one’s own life and future); and bodily integrity (the right to self-ownership and self-determination over one’s own body). In other words, if we ever want to travel again we will no longer have any say over what goes inside out body.

All this for the sake of non-sterilizing vaccines that offer very little protection against transmission or infection of COVID-19 and whose safety profile is looking increasingly suspect. https://www.nakedcapitalism.co....m/2022/07/21-african
