I don't see him saying that on reddit, and this appears to be another right-wing conspiracy theory about him[1]. The actual idea, which he doesn't particularly seem to be "pushing", is to have invisible tattoos injected into people in the developing world as an immutable vaccine record, not an ID. It's not unlike the way vets give dogs a small tattoo dot when the dog has been spayed. Medical records don't always surv…

Is this really any better? Do you think there is a qualitative difference between a 'vaccine' ID, which I can assure you will have information encoded that can be used as a personal identity marker, and what the original commenter was proposing?

Is it really any better that this is happening in the "developing world"? You even make the case that it's identical to the practices we uphold to track animals.

Furthermore, appeal to authority is not proof or evidence of anything but the opinion of authority. Try to avoid doing that if you want to engage ideas in good faith.

Are you actually willing to learn, to at least consider whether a statement is true based on the merit of the facts presented, or will you categorically deny any source that isn't directly connected to legacy media? If the latter, look into the 'right wing conspiracy theories' and discard what you see as weak evidence and disinformation. Build a case from the point of view opposite of your own, then compare this to t…

... What does this have to do with Bill Gates and why that guy hates him?

I ask you to reread my comment, in the context of this thread, and your question, and see if it eventually makes sense to you.

I checked over what I had written and find my meaning perfectly clear, so there is not much else I can do for you otherwise.

May he/she with the most mainstream ((bank owned)) entertainment news URLs win! Yes, let's just weigh a bunch of URLs against a bunch of URLs. Surely more URLS => more truthy! ;) /saracasm I see a bunch of links, posted within 5 minutes of my post I highly doubt you've read or verified any of those. Your approach, as previously noted ("appeal to authority"), is flawed and defeats itself. You are shilling for a billio…

Do you really want to be injected with a highly rushed vaccine that hasn't been tested for longterm side effects? Remember when they were putting asbestos into everything? Or when they were spraying neighborhoods with 'harmless' insecticides? Or when companies fudge results to pass regulations or performance specs. The world is not very different from where it was 50 years ago. I would rather get the rona than get an…

I am confused - Before we were talking about ID2020, now suddenly it is about vaccines? And from a 12-day old account, no less. A quick look at your comment history tells me you are only here to bridage the site with anti-vaxx messaging.

"I am confused, strawman strawman strawman, strawman?"

Gates is loving the attention he's getting from this. I hate the guy personally.

I cannot imagine seeing someone be so unilaterally altruistic and still hating them. Why do you feel they are deserving of your hate?

OK, you obviously have a bias towards supporting the Bill Gates regime.

Please disclose your conflict of interest.

What statement am I being asked to consider as true? That this man hates bill gates?

Ok, I confess.

I have a really obvious bias: objective reality.

I am shocked an appalled to see that there is an anti-vaxx undertone present on HN. A simple google search reveals that this information is false. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-gates-id2020/ Please, @csense - this is only a digital certificate, one which is clearly designed not to actively track someone, but to provide much needed medical info in 3rd world countries who don't have the infrastructure to store…

> Personally, I think you should be ashamed of making such a disingenuous connection.

The flagged comment has not even hinted at being anti-vax. You are the one who should be ashamed, but in this thread the authoritarians / MSFT lobby [1] apparently prevails.

[1] Which is huge on HN.

There you go-- You've revealed your naïveté

You are not objective-- you're human. That alone makes you are biased, apparently in particular towards prideful emotions especially when folks like myself expose your bias (such as towards "Appeals to Authority"-- snopes for example-- when I enlightened you to the fact that snopes is embroiled in controversy calling their "information verfication" reputation into question).

Clearly you fail to recognize this.
