It links 'a person' to 'a piece of health information'. Imagine what you or any data platform could do with that (big) data.
Here we hide personal health information in a QR code and are expected to give random strangers 'consent' to this personal data to gain 'access' to a venue or 'service'.
Sounds awfully lot like a cookie consent-popup.
- martin_a 5y agoNo, it links a name and a date of birth to a number of vaccinations. Without any kind of ID the QR code is useless.
- nomercy400 5y agoYes, The name and date of birth are linked to a number of vaccinations, AND the exact vaccine, AND date it was administered, AND the country it was administered, (I also now have a good guess about you nationality) AND the disease the vaccine works against. Do you really need to know the last four if you all you really want to know if the identified person should be granted access?
- alkonaut 5y agoBut that’s the exact information I want to pass to someone? I’m not sure how else to give someone the information that person X has had vaccine Y, other than actually transmitting that exact information? Yes, it’s (slightly) sensitive information. But if one decides that we want to have a system based on this exact information, and it had to be “offline capable”, what are the options? > Do you really need to know the last four if you all you really want to know if the identified person should be granted access? If the requirements are that verifiers must themselves be able to decide which vaccines are acceptable, number of doses or time since last dose, and which issuers are allowed, then yes.
