Imagine being physically denied access to your office, business or
livelihood. Imagine being refused entry to a shop or being told who
you can or cannot sit with at a restaurant. Imagine being barred
from a hospital room when you or your family member needs critical
care. Unthinkable? Today, these scenarios and worse are happening
in 'democracies' all over the world, and could be our collective
future - orchestrated by AI, Big Tech and state-sponsored apps -
all in the name of 'protecting' public health with vaccine
passports. The stakes could not be higher. If you do not have a
vaccine passport, you will be prevented from accessing basic
services, from earning a living or travelling within your own
country. Even if you do have one, you will be exposed to
unprecedented levels of government and corporate surveillance, data
mining and behavioural control. In Scanned, investigative
journalist Nick Corbishley examines and exposes the lies and
overreach that underpin the wholesale erosion of personal freedoms
that is happening at an alarming rate. In clear language supported
by rigorous research, Corbishley uncovers how the rollout of
vaccine passports not only represents an unprecedented violation of
privacy and bodily autonomy, but how it perpetuates the idea that a
'small' collective sacrifice will allow us to return to normality.
If things continue on the current path, Corbishley makes clear,
getting back to 'normal' is never happening. Put simply, instead of
a return to normality, we will see the creation of a starkly
different form of existence in which most of us will have virtually
no agency over our own lives. Inside Scanned, you'll also find: The
massive implications of a tech-enabled digital ID, social credit
systems and biometric tracking How basic freedoms and privacy are
being handed over to the state and private companies without our
knowledge or consent How government programmes and increased
surveillance will facilitate discrimination, segregation and
stigmas for huge segments of the population Few people want to be
seen as outliers, especially if it means feeling responsible or
being blamed for the suffering and deaths of others. 'But there is
a fundamental flaw in applying the "greater good" argument to
vaccine passports,' Corbishley writes, 'because the passports
themselves offer precious little in the way of potential good - and
a huge amount in the way of potential harm.' This is not a liberal
or conservative debate. This is not a vaccinated or unvaccinated
debate. This is about freedom, global democracy and how much we are
willing to give up. This is about deciding when it is time to say,
'enough!'
