Well you're flat wrong about the controversy bit, not even reaching the substance.
- motohagiography 5y agoIt's not seriously controversial. If you work in identity or health, you know what technologies are being used, tech standards are being pushed out via public health networks, (SMARThealth, WHO's covax, etc.) and the massive changes in privacy regulations and information sharing in support of it are unprecedented. There are probably details that are still confidential in government, but that parties are leveraging the pandemic crisis to drive prior agendas is no secret. To deny that is unserious to the point of the very gaslighting that is creating the mistrust that is impacting the rollout. Data on ths subject is so politicized it's not even science anymore, it's scientistic policy activism. Arguing in the ivermectin/HCQ debate isn't going to impact policy or rollouts, but a tangible commitment to not exploiting the crisis to impose centralized identity governance would.
- elefanten 5y agoI'm curious about what you talk about here, but I haven't heard anything about it. Any reading or further search terms beyond "SMARThealth" and "WHO covax"?
