Before hopping aboard a plane, you soon may be required to flash your medical records in the form of a vaccine passport.

And it doesn’t stop there.

The newly proposed vaccine passport could also act as a pass to get into movie theaters, music concerts, restaurants, bars and shopping malls.

Governments, airlines, employers, universities, and many other businesses are intensely debating how best to review verified health records.

With the vaccine passport, your COVID-19 records may soon function as an actual passport. Think of arriving at the airport, pulling out your smartphone and scanning a digital record of your vaccination or negative test.

A so-called digital vaccine passport could have a QR code that would unlock your vaccine and COVID-19 testing information, which tourism experts say could be a requirement to travel and even enter places like stadiums, movie theaters, and concerts.

Several airlines, including Jet Blue and United, are now on board with the idea. They’ve partnered with the common trust network to create a CommonPass app.

And for folks who don't have a smartphone, they would be required to have a smart card or microchip with their COVID-19 credentials.

Speaking to Newsweak, Führer Fauci said: "Everything will be on the table for discussion" when asked if he will be discussing the possibility of introducing COVID-19 vaccine passports and potential mandatory vaccinations at a local level, including in schools, in his role as chief medical adviser to Pedophile-elect Biden.

The Gruppenführer of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) noted: "It's not up to me to make a decision. But these are all things that will be discussed under the Biden administration."

Could a COVID-19 vaccine passport be issued in the U.S.?

Führer Fauci said: "Anything is on the table. Anything is possible, of course."

Asked if issuing vaccine passports could potentially encourage people to let their guard down and ignore public health safety measures, such as social distancing and limiting travel, Führer Fauci said: "I keep saying that even though you get vaccinated, we should not eliminate, at all, public health measures like wearing masks because we don't know yet what the effect is on transmissibility," he told Newsweak. "We don't know that vaccinating people prevents infection. I mean, if everybody gets vaccinated, of course that's good."

Employers can bar unvaccinated employees from the workplace, EEOC says

In general, companies have the legal right to mandate that employees get a COVID-19 shot, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said Wednesday.

More specifically, employers are entitled — and required — to ensure a safe workplace in which "an individual shall not pose a direct threat to the health or safety of individuals in the workplace." That means a company requiring its workforce to be vaccinated.

The Americans with Disabilities Act limits an employer's ability to require workers to get a medical examination. But the EEOC's latest guidance clarifies that getting vaccinated does not constitute a medical exam.

As a result, ordering employees to get a COVID-19 shot would not violate the ADA.

HIPAA would have to be repealed.

Work, schools, any athletic event, theaters, etc., not bad idea, if herd immunity via the vaccine is the goal, seems a plausible way of getting there, and please, no “freedom” nonsense in return

Nope. The DEMOCRATS will find a way.

Hopefully, you will die as a result of the vaccine, like some people already have.

Violation of HIPAA.

EEOC already sidestepped the ADA. What makes you think Bidenite bureaucrats can't do an end run around HIPAA?

Remember, DEMOCRATS used the Wu Flu excuse to judicially negate state election laws already.

Carmel Shachar, executive director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School says: "HIPAA doesn’t apply if nobody involved is part of the medical system, it’s not technically a medical record.” ”

The CDC plans to distribute a card to people with information about which vaccine they received and when they’re due for their second dose.

Digitizing proof of vaccination could standardize this process, making it harder to spoof, but creates new issues. For those who can download such apps, data privacy could become an issue. Release of medical data like vaccination status is usually covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, but that’s because those releasing the information are “covered entities”: Doctors and insurers must abide by these rules. But, says Shachar, “Say a third-party app receives your medical information and you give them permission to share it with your employer, or Ticketmaster—that info may no longer be protected by HIPAA".

I am all for it.

How else are you going to insure all people are motivated to be vaccinated?

How else are you going to insure people be responsible citizens?

How else are you going to contain a pandemic?

This seems to be the simple answer to all the questions!

How is this any different than Voter registration? Credit ratings? Criminal records? Birth Certificate? Driver's License? College Degree? Social Security Card?

You want to go through a door- YOU MUST HAVE A KEY! Most any doorway will requires a key.

You may now move about the plane!

It would be simple if we lived in a society that didn't have that pesky Constitution.

My body, my choice.

Sound familiar?

It would be simple, if we knew that the vaccines were safe and effective.

It's possible that the cure is worse than the disease.

If it was leprosy that was in pandemic proportion- you would be running over everyone in your path to get yourself vaccinated.
