NEWS: Vaccine Passports, What could go wrong?
As privacy advocates and civil libertarians, there are several factors to consider on vaccine passports.

"There is a difference between a standardized system for presenting proof of vaccination, and a digital system for doing so. With more and more of our credentials being displayed through apps on our phones — from airline boarding passes to concert tickets to gym memberships — it strikes many people as an obvious and overdue step to create a similar digital credential for those occasions when a person has to prove that they’ve been vaccinated. But digital credentials present a number of new potential problems, and we would oppose a vaccination credential system that does not meet three crucial criteria:

1. It is not exclusively digital.
2. It is decentralized and open source.
3. It does not allow for tracking or the creation of new databases."
