Excluding unvaccinated people has nothing to do with preventing disease. Ever since the wide availability of effective vaccines last summer, the purpose of most Covid restrictions is to expand the surveillance state and compel obedience to the pharma-government alliance.

I agree that the end result is an expansion of the surveillance state. I don't think it is all that coordinated, just a bunch of miscellaneous opportunists, all following their own incentives, all converging on a common narrative.. a decentralized 'conversation' among people that stand to gain.

I think most people can agree that it has nothing to do with preventing the disease, but there will be a smorgasbord of educated and uneducated guesses about the real purpose of vaccine passports.

You might even say digital passports are just an evolution of humanity, the disease is irrelevant, and they will be repurposed afterwards.

Say like to discourage bad behaviour (social credit score passport), passport passport (to control and track movement), carbon passport (to track individual emissions), internet passport (to prevent viewing of things deemed to lead to extremism), privilege and adversity passport (to compare victimhood and oppressor status and advance equity)

Etc etc.

I think my point is that all passports are bad for the individual, and if we accept passports, we will be stuck with a passport for every single social issue of the day. A permenant scorecard.

Looks like you got downvoted by the HN mob for stating an unpopular opinion. To an extent I don’t disagree with you. The CDC’s recent changes were obviously forced on them to encourage more people to work or go out and spend.
