I really wonder how many real cards are in the wild.
My grandson was hired through his fire department to work at the county's drive-thru vaccine sites from Feb till early May. Being federal money he was making $35 an hour, plus meal provided.
He came by after work one day, and realized he had about 20 cards in his pocket he forgot when they closed for the day. I'm sure he's not the only person to inadvertently do something like this. He simply took them back the next day.
the cards are just for show. it's just grist for the rubes.
the reality is that the scanner tag for individual vaccine status has already been "introduced". you've got a few little micro-RNAs (piggybacking on the covid-related mRNAs, which are the vaccine, proper) in there with a fluorescent tag and a little structure that recognizes and blocks transcription of one of the 3, ubiquitous human copies of a little gene family called k
popn 1-3. This is harmless--these genes produce enzymes that specifically metabolize corn-based products. ...something we don't really need to live, obviously, but is also so prevalent in our (particularly American) diets, makes it such a wonderful target for this tag:
-- We know every American consumes enough corn to trigger a "signal" whenever one of the many redundant enzymes isn't being transcribed --(seriously, here in the USA, it is fundamentally impossible for us to not have enough corn, as measured by GCMS, as a strange percentage of our individual cell matter, to not make a measurable signal of switching off one of these genes. It's really quite beautiful! --this assumes you are a person who buys food at any grocery store in this country)
-- It is harmless, because of the redundancy, and the general irrelevance of the nutrient to the human diet.
anyway, the way this works is that our now perpetually-firing, knocked-down k
popn 1, 2 or 3 loci, emitting at an absorbance of ~568 (for that deep yellow-amber; really helps the scanners to pick up the signal through the taint scans that we receive when we walk into those big bubble xray machines). You see, they've added a small blacklight (low-emittance UV--really just for fluorescent work) to those scanners, which can pick up all of our tagged genes. TSA can see our crotches glowing, about 2-4 proper amber dots (Depending on which loci are active in each individual--it's really quite genius how precise this is!) firing off in the same region, male or female. And this sort of thing can easily be fitted to handheld scanners...you know, because of how most tickets are printed now, to get into pretty much any kind of major public event in the modern world. So it's really simple.
Access to the public and general human life has been gated in many brave and...new ways!
We really already are tagged, the cards are just a culture war thing. Keeps some people comfortable, the rest as angry as they feel they need to be to exist. Some just live on that terror. So damn paranoid!
