The Precipice is financial. When the dam bursts and greenbacks become worthless, your access to new digital magic money will be contingent upon accepting universal ID and tracking. Sure, for a little while you'll be able to do a workaround, but that pesky vaxx will be a requirement to join the "system". The vaxx's will continue creating new variants, sickening any remaining unvaxced until humanity is dependent on the vaxx for survival. Like Marek's disease in chickens. In large flocks, all chickens are infected with a virus, but are asymptomatic, only unvaxxed chickens develop symptoms and die. The Globalists have killed us all already.
