Microsoft x Big Tech Developing COVID Passports

[Rell Lauren]

Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce have joined a broad coalition of technology and health care companies to create the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), which aims to accelerate access to COVID-19 vaccination records by creating a digital passport.

The technology would allow individuals to obtain a copy of their immunization records through a digital wallet of their choice, such as Apple Wallet or Google Pay, while those without smartphones would receive paper printed with QR codes containing verifiable credentials. In addition, the VCI said it will also try to develop new standards to help determine whether a person has or hasn’t been inoculated against the virus.

Other health care and technology leaders involved in the initative include the Commons Project Foundation, the CARIN Alliance, Cerner, Change Healthcare, Epic, Evernorth, the Mayo Clinic, MITRE, and Safe Health.

Salesforce executive vice president and general manager Bill Patterson said in a statement that the cloud-based software firm looks forward to helping organizations "easily and safely customize all aspects of the vaccination management lifecycle and integrate closely with other coalition members’ offerings, which will help us all get back to public life."


“With a single platform to help deliver safe and continuous operations and deepen trust with customers and employees, this coalition will be crucial to support public health and wellbeing,” Patterson added.

Mike Sicilia, executive vice president of Oracle's global business units, added that electronic access to vaccination, testing, and other medical records will be "vital to resuming travel and more" and that the process "needs to be as easy as online banking."

"We are committed to working collectively with the technology and medical communities, as well as global governments, to ensure people will have secure access to this information where and when they need it,” Sicilia said.

The push comes after the Commons Project Foundation developed its own digital health app last year, known as CommonPass, which has already undergone a trial run with United Airlines for flights between the United States and the U.K.

Won't be able to travel without one. How soon will it be to where you can't buy groceries or go to work without it?

In. Travel to Australia almost every year since my family is there. Didn’t get to go last year and doubt I’ll be going this year too. Little brother getting married in June and had to already postpone it. In Australia you have to do a 14 day quarantine and pay for it. A family of 4 is like 5k. Can’t do that with having young kids. They’d go nuts.

Y'all need to stop spreading fear this virus is real and it's not just the flu. People are dieing and spending weeks in the hospital. We never getting back to normal until a majority of the people get vaccinated. You cant send your kids to school without vaccination so what's different about this.

Posts will be ignored but I'll keep going.

They're going to force everyone to take vaccines by instituting a 'vaccine certificate' or ID of some kind proving you've been vaccinated. You can't go banking, go to school, go to work, go to a restaurant or movie theater without this certificate. On the surface it will appear optional but you can't function in life without it. In black neighborhoods this shyt will be 'over-enforced'. Where if cops catch you in the streets without the certificate they'll detain you. Only way to be let go is if you let them vaccinate you.

this brother called it not because he's a "fear mongering conspiracy theorist" but simply because he's a logical objective thinker who pays attention

We don't know the long-term side effects of what's being injected into our bodies. These aren't traditional vaccines where a strain is introduced into our systems and then the body fights to create an immunity. It's using genetically modified RNA sequences. In addition to destroying the global economy, the virus has been used as an excuse to clamp down on human rights around the world. Are you ok with being used as a guinea pig? Many are and are "trusting the science" as if it's religion when in fact the scientific method promotes asking questions. Having your biometrics in a database should be concerning. We are implementing the Chinese social credit system and people are ok with it.

*cough*

Whichever company comes up with the vaccine will have ties to Bill Gates. I honestly think he deliberately cause the pandemic just to make money off the inevitable vaccine. He did a test trial on a hypothetical pandemic situation just months before the real pandemic.
