During Bill Gates reddit AMA, he was proposing the idea, even concluding that it would be a necessity to have travel go back to normal. That we have microchips embeded, that store our "public information", such as viral infection and vaccination status.

I say that it quotations, because i do not believe it is the governments place nor right, to make public, crucial medical data about individuals. In a perfect system, without breaches of security, sure, but that is not the real world.

Okay? Do you have a link? Because his foundation has denied it and several organizations have done a fact check on it, finding no evidence. https://www.bbc.com/news/52847648

Can't we just use smartphones or passports for it? Although implanted chips would solve quite a few humanity problems (and create more power for authoritarian nations).

Also I don't believe dangerous people should have all sort of rights to privacy. We already ask pedos to introduce themselves to neighbours (at least in movies), why shouldn't same apply for deadly viruses? I guess this forum is frequented by too many Californians where knowingly giving someone AIDS is not a crime anymore.
