Triple vaccinated and just had my flu shot yesterday
Or they just use biometrics.Honestly give it 10-20 years I won't be surprised if they'll be pushing something that goes on the body. Bar code using invisible ink that the scanner can still pickup (nobody will want an actual visible one) or RFID implant maybe. I don't think they'll hide it, they're not going to try to trick people into something like some of the conspiracies say. They'll be upfront about it and it will be optional at first, and the sheep will just follow. "It's just a chip oh well. I have nothing to hide. It's so convenient!". Any public place you go you just scan your hand at the door and the guard lets you in if it goes green. It will be faster than having to pull out your phone or whatever ID system they have at that point. Will double as a way to pay too. When they bring out the interac machine you just scan your hand in front of it.
HIPPA applies ONLY to your health care providers, insurance, health care clearinghouses, and subsidiaries of them that deal directly with health information.I've got the QR code from the CDC on my phone. But, because of HIPPA I imagine, after it's scanned I have to provide my password.
Hmm, it just thought the CDC made the QR code feature to make it easier to prove I was vaccinated, say, to a foreign country. I wasn't thinking about anything related to an employer.HIPPA applies ONLY to your health care providers, insurance, health care clearinghouses, and subsidiaries of them that deal directly with health information.
HIPPA does not apply to your employer (unless you work at one of the four places listed above) or anyone else. Meaning they can do what they want with your information once you have given that information to them.
Guy at work said he's just buy a fake card if he needed one to get into a concert. Then someone told him no, don't buy one, i got a relative that's a pharmacist, they have a big stack of them(fakes).Anti-maskers have no compunctions about faking a card/buying a fake. We know this.

I want the chip in my forehead so I can bang my head on the cash register to buy stuff.Honestly give it 10-20 years I won't be surprised if they'll be pushing something that goes on the body.

Hmm if the chip ends up requiring power they can put a little piezo electric generator in there. The only way to activate it is to bang your head.
Been riding a sharp, downward spike here in Texas. Thank God.
Immunaband solves the problem for me

Is it wrong that I get a kick out of picturing Texas impaled on a "sharp spike" ???
My prediction is that there will be a last "wave" of cases around late December, but probably not as scary as summer in the deep South. There are still plenty of unvaccinated communities in America and so the holidays will bring back some waves of infections. By spring, I expect the U.S. to be out of the pandemic woods, so to speak. COVID-19 will still be around, but the hospitalization counts will be much more manageable in 2022. That doesn't mean the threat of new variants goes away either, but that is fairly unpredictable. We know places like sub-Saharan Africa will take a long time to vaccinate.At this point, who the hell hasn't gotten covid, gotten the vaccine, or both?
"More than 80% of Americans 16 and older have some level of immunity against the coronavirus, mostly through vaccination, a survey of blood donations indicates."

The natural population, a number calculated from registered deaths and births, excluding the impact of migration, declined by 997,000 between October 2020 and September 2021
And sounds like vaccine "hesitancy" is at least as strong in Russia as anywhere else.
