Apple has announced the coming iOS15 update will include a vaccine passport-like feature within the Health app.
The new feature will allow users to store their medical records within their phone, which can then be shared to regain access to basic aspects of society, such as travel, work, and entertainment.
The update will be released in the fall and will be available to download as a public beta in July.
Critics of vaccine passports have warned they will be used to discriminate against those who are vaccine-hesitant or refuse to take the COVID jab. The passports will essentially be employed as a means of applying pressure through social exclusion and denial of services, a tactic being pushed by mainstream media in the United States and Australia.
Guess I won’t be running that update!
ReplyDeleteGetting close to needing a new phone. Guess it won’t be an iPhone.
