The Argument Against Vaccine Passports | The Crossroads Show Ep. 2

In the second episode of the Crossroads Show, I lay out my entire argument against the widespread implementation of vacc*ne passports.Show more

My argument consists of a few elements: first of all, we simply cannot look at vacc*ne passports as an isolated issue - we need to look at the larger context within which they are being considered, e.g. rapid technological advancements/digitalization, data-ism, blockchain technology, 5G; but not only - massive inequality, wealth concentration, and unsustainable debt levels also play an important role in this issue (not to mention the Great Reset, Imperative 21, Agenda 2030 and the interplay between these initiatives).

Second of all, we need to be wary of the potential ways in which the precedent of vacc*ne passports will set us down a path that could ultimately result in most of the things we take for granted today - personal freedom, bodily autonomy, choice etc.... - evaporating to make space for a new kind of society that values the free flow of data above all else.
