Colorado has an official app, myColorado. It shows a legally recognized (in-state, other states don't have to recognize it) driver's license and COVID19 immunization record.
A recent update broke the Android version. You can't access the immunization record. If you clear all user data, the MFA step in which they email a code succeeds verification but the apps stalls at this point. You can't proceed.

Turnkey is the more important word than totalitarianism. Why put such power and control all in one place? Our Christian culture has a parable for this situation. In revelations, it talks about the mark of the beast. Obviously that isn't true. But the moral of the story is true. Humans shouldn't be branded. Digital or now.
