Earlier in February, Denmark shared its plans to develop its own digital vaccine passport that would identify those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. “In three, four months, a digital corona passport will be ready for use in, for example, business travel,” said Denmark’s Finance Minister Morten Bødskov.
Denmark’s vaccine passport will live on one’s phone, and will essentially serve as documentation that the holder has received a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Bødskov said that Denmark will “be among the first in the world to have it.” The idea is that this digital document will ease travel restrictions for international travelers by allowing them to bypass a mandated quarantine, or perhaps avoid having to take a COVID-19 test prior to departure and upon arrival.
The concept of a “digital vaccine passport” or “green passport” aligns with what the World Health Organization (WHO) is creating, something they call a Smart Vaccination Certificate. WHO recently put together a working group of experts to reach a consensus around security, authentication, and to develop guidance and best practices on how and when these certificates can be used.
While many details still need to be hammered out, health experts do expect a digital vaccination certificate that will allow people to bypass quarantine restrictions and other bureaucratic barriers will be a normal part of our lives in the near-future. Litjen Tan, Chief Strategy Officer of the Immunization Action Coalition, told Salon that WHO will likely set the standards of what will be globally accepted.
“The idea is there’s a digital vaccination certificate that has key specifications, key standards that everyone will support and use and it will operationalize a global version of vaccination certificate,” Tan said. “And I think that’s exactly where a lot of policymakers are going.“
Dr. David Studdert, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, agreed.
“I think they are going to be pretty broadly adopted for certain activities, and it looks like air travel will be one of the first,” Studdert said. “I think there’s a certain inevitability to them, but the question that I think many of us are wondering about is whether the government will get involved here, and offer some sort of public program.“
Studdert said he thinks “in some countries that’s going to happen,” but it’s not clear that it will happen in the United States. Studdert added that he forsees the private sector in the U.S. will “lead the way.”

Hummm, solutions to those tactic's are abounding, IMO, to circumvent stupid.
Now, wait a minute, if one can supposedly still get Covid-19 after experimental shots, or this perceived Covid-19, which with ineffective testing could actually be anything deemed an applied Covid Label, what good would current passport do?? Nothing!! Nothing except more invasive measures to keep track of populace, control measures, and signify there are moron Dictator's attempting to run the show, IMO!
Did we do this scrutiny for all other shots received to prevent polio, etc. and we know illegal's come with no current shots, nor are vetted, etc.? Yes to enter child in schools, Missionary work overseas, Military folks, and their dependents, have to have had shots current, yet Covid-19 is a different Beast, IMO!
Covid is a non-descriptive bunch of BS conjured by man to subvert our will to be ourselves, compromise our Freedoms, and push Fear, IMO! Populace has to look at how all this was done to acknowledge it's intent to remain nefarious to our existence, and not be all consumed with the propaganda wishy washy info coming out when things became better and more fear then proceeded, IMO. The power to be has bled Covid plump out, we should be more concerned with those that are drunk with power than any Covid, in my opinion!
