(TheLibertyRevolution.Com)- Bill Gates is one person who has suggested that people in the United States should have “digital certificates” that prove they have been vaccinated for coronavirus, if and when the time comes that such a drug has been developed and approved.
But Attorney General William Barr is one person who doesn’t feel that’s a great idea. He recently said he’d be “very concerned about the slippery slope in terms of continuing encroachments on personal liberty” that such a proposal would cause. He also said he’s concerned about “the tracking of people and so forth, generally, especially going forward over a long period of time.” He did say he was for “appropriate, reasonable steps.”
Gates, the co-founded of Microsoft, recently said:
“Eventually, we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.”
In a recent story, Reuters said Gates didn’t suggest “human-implantable capsules that have ‘digital certificates’ which can show who has been tested for the coronavirus and who has been vaccinated against it. Gates did mention the possibility of having a ‘digital certificate’ for health records ‘eventually,’ but he did not say these certificates would be ‘microchip implants.'”
In response, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation released a statement that said:
“The reference to ‘digital certificates’ relates to efforts to create an open source digital platform with the goal of expanding access to safe, home-based testing.”
That being said, the Foundation has funded vaccine research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the past that would include embedded vaccine records. A 2019 article in Scientific American reported about it, writing:
“Along with the vaccine, a child would be injected with a bit of dye that is invisible to the naked eye but easily seen with a special cell-phone filter, combined with an app that shines near-infrared light onto the skin. The dye would be expected to last up to five years, according to tests on pig and rat skin and human skin in a dish.”
Gates said the Foundation has had “a lot of dialogue” with the government about how life after the coronavirus will be, and re-opening all aspects of life to normal after everything is under control. He said:
“Which activities, like schools, have such benefit and can be done in a way that the risk of transmission is very low? And which activities, like mass gatherings, may be — in a certain sense — more optional? And so until you’re widely vaccinated, those may not come back at all.”
Right now, pharmaceutical companies are rushing to try to develop a vaccine for coronavirus in record time, but no one really expects anything to come to fruition until 2021 at the very earliest. There are naturally concerns about quickly developing a vaccine and giving it to the masses, and some parents are concerned about whether the government will make the vaccine a mandato
