The vaccine is NOT the end of the epidemic, the epidemic ended in June & SARSCoV2 is both seasonal & endemic. The vaccine is the beginning of the biometric vaccination passport linked to digital currency on the mobile phone as yet another tool of real time surveillance & control.
"For Norman and Simprints, the startup he co-founded in 2015, and for more and more organizations and governments, the answer to the quandary of identity lies in ­biometrics—in fingerprints or irises, which are more distinctive than names or birthdates can ever be"
Aims of USAID EMERGING PANDEMIC THREATS PROGRAM EPT-2 include:
"strengthening global networks for real-time bio-surveillance" https://www.usaid.gov/ept2 
"Ella Jakubowska, policy & campaigns adviser at European Digital Rights points out governments could use biometric information to set up mass-surveillance systems, or private companies could tap banks of biometric data to profile and target customers"
"In the haste to inoculate populations, ethical measures such as informed consent might be abandoned altogether. The more quickly biometric-based vaccination programs are in place, Jakubowska says, “the greater the chance that you’ll be putting a lot of people’s data at risk”
"So, with the help of a $250,000 grant from the 👉Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation👈 and the 👉U.K. Department for International Development👈, Norman & his colleagues designed the Simprints scanner, which hooks up to a cellphone, is a device that resembles a keyless car-door fob"
"In 2014 the World Bank launched Identification for Development, or ID4D, a program that aims to..areas such as health, financial inclusion, & social welfare. The ID2020 alliance put out a manifesto two years ago aimed at the same goal. (Simprints is a part of ID2020.)"
"Frequently a smartphone and a small scanner are all that are needed to enroll people..companies and governments are toying with the idea of “immunity passports,” or digital IDs vouching that a person has been tested and found free of the coronavirus."
"In the U.K., a startup named Onfido that’s trying to repurpose its anti-fraud technology into such passports raised $100 million in equity financing in April."
"We live in an age of data insecurity, when companies and governments of every stripe use our personal information to monetize and monitor us."
"India’s Supreme Court ruled two years ago that the government couldn’t coerce people to sign up for Aadhaar and that basic services such as opening a bank account or enrolling in a school shouldn’t require this biometric ID."
"In March, during an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit, Bill Gates predicted that “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.”
