Re: Boston Launches Flu Shot Tracking! *Tracking Bracelet*

What's next? Tattooing numbers on our arms and forcing us into poorly-ventilated boxcars?
The powers-that-be are opening a can of worms they will wish they had left closed.

Yes, I remember when I posted about the yellow star of David and made comparisons to that, how there was such offense taken by one of the pro-mandaters. I was referring to the unvaccinated possibly having to wear masks. I believe it is a fair analogy. Sometimes the truth can hurt.

Dame, these comparisons tend to hit a nerve because they are true. The pro-mandaters get a bit huffy when confronted with the similarities. "Oh no! That's not what we are doing!", they say, but students of history see the bigger picture...
Remember folks, whatever your position is, the FACT is, that once you lose a right, you do NOT get it back!

I completely agree....we are inching closer to the edge of a very slippery slope....

Re: Boston Launches Flu Shot Tracking! *Tracking Bracelet*

How is this different from EMR? It's more private, in fact, than other medical records. I haven't seen one of these bracelets, but I'm guessing that they aren't really going to be worn as "tags"--it would be nice if they would get rid of that aspect of it. Would seem less "Big Brotherly". If it's in an electronic database, I hardly see the use for the bracelets anyway.

Now I hope that THIS won't happen. I doubt it will. The day someone is able to identify something about someone's health status by some artificial notifier THAT THEY MUST WEAR is the day I move far away.
