Commission proposal for a common vaccination card / passport for EU citizens

[Tom Kirkman + 8,860]

Seems the China Flu panic dovetails nicely with the ongoing plan of the EU to issue vaccination card / passports to EU citizens.

Totally not scary at all.

PDF attached at the bottom of this comment. 

And in my next comment below, a link to a related "Digital ID" which is to contain all of your personal records, including your health records.

Here's the EU vaccine card / passport link:

Examine the feasibility of developing a common vaccination
card/passport for EU citizens (that takes into account potentially
different national vaccination schedules and), that is compatible
with electronic immunisation information systems and recognised
for use across borders, without duplicating work at national level.

CR 16 and CC*

* Basis for action:
CR for Council Recommendation and the number of the Recommendation in the legal text. CC for Commission Communication

Since 2016, ID2020 has advocated for ethical, privacy-protecting approaches to digital ID.

For the one in seven people globally who lacks a means to prove their identity, digital ID offers access to vital social services and enables them to exercise their rights as citizens and voters and participate in the modern economy. But doing digital ID right means protecting civil liberties and putting control over personal data back where it belongs...in the hands of the individual.

Every day, we rely on a variety of forms of identification to go about our lives: our driver’s license, passport, work badge and building access cards, debit and credit cards, transit passes, and more.

But technology is evolving at a blinding pace and many of the transactions that require identification are today being conducted digitally. From e-passports to digital wallets, online banking to social media accounts, these new forms of digital ID allow us to travel, conduct business, access financial and health records, stay connected, and much more.

While the move to digital ID has had many positive effects, it has been accompanied by countless challenges and setbacks, including large-scale data breaches affecting millions of people. Most of the current tools are archaic, insecure, lack appropriate privacy protections and commoditize our data. But that’s about to change and ID2020 is leading the charge.

We are businesses, nonprofits, governments and individuals...working in collaboration to ensure that the future of digital identity is, indeed, #goodID.

Verbatim, a few of the points in the PDF.  Totally not scary at all:

"Continuously monitor the benefits and risks of vaccines and
vaccinations, at EU level, including through post-marketing
surveillance studies."

 

"Strengthen the effective application of Union rules on the
protection of workers from risks related to exposure to biological
agents at work, as laid down in Directive 2000/54/EC and Council
Directive 2010/32/EU, taking into account national competences,
in particular by supporting continuing education of healthcare
workers, monitoring their immunisation status and actively
offering vaccination where necessary, to ensure adequate levels
of patient and healthcare-workers’ safety."

 

"Develop EU guidance for establishing comprehensive electronic
immunization information systems for effective monitoring of
immunization programmes."

 

"Guidance on overcoming legal (and technical)
barriers to the interoperability of national
immunisation information systems"

Papers, please?  And we have heard so many arguments on here telling us how the EU should be looked at like the U.S.  Does anyone think the U.S. Federal Government, where interstate laws are enacted and enforced, will be able to sell the majority of Americans on having to show your digital papers when you go from Illinois to Missouri, or any other such imaginary line crossing in the United States?
