Zeke Emanuel Regrets that Biden Isn’t Forcing Vaccinated Americans into a Database with Individual QR Codes

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: “Yeah. I think it’s a serious threat. I think it's inevitable and have been saying it for months that we will be certifying whether people have been vaccinated or not to go to indoor events like theater or sporting events or even board airplanes or return to employment, and I understand why the administration really didn’t want to create a large database. I don’t think the privacy is really the concern. I think a lot of people are really — what they are really worried about is things like exploitation. Is it going to be commercialized? Is it going to fall into hands where people are going to use it for other reasons than the reasons that they certify? And I think that's -- those are serious concerns. But so is forgery and so is I’m going to an indoor spot, everybody says that they have been vaccinated but in fact haven’t and a spreading event is possible. So, there’s no easy solution here. But I do think not doing a national database whereby the QR code you can actually get in, having that be done by a not for profit, making sure it won’t be commercialized, I think that would have been the right way to go.”
