Michelle Malkin discusses vax passports, big money and Mitre corp.
Colorado, the state government is pimping the Smart Health Card "allowing users to verify and share their vaccination status." Who's behind Smart Health Card technology, which is now being used in Canada, Puerto Rico, the Cayman Islands, Australia and a total of 12 states, including California, Washington state, Virginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Oregon — as well as CVS and Rite Aid pharmacies, Kaiser Permanente, UC Health, Walgreens, Walmart, Express Scripts and United Healthcare Services?
The Commons Project Foundation (known as "TCP") is the massive nonprofit entity responsible for Smart Health's dominance of the vaccine passport market. It says it "builds and operates digital platforms and services for the common good." TCP oversees the Common Trust Network (which operates a global registry of organizations that issue vaccine passports). You will notice on every vaccine passport system's website and in their public relations statements an emphasis on how these intrusive tracking measures are meant "to empower individuals with digital access to their vaccination records," as Paul Meyer, CEO of The Commons Project, put it, to allow people "to safely return to travel, work, school and life while protecting their data privacy."
TCP also created and collaborates with VCI, the Vaccination Credential Initiative.
Who is behind VCI? The nonprofit calls itself a "voluntary coalition of public and private organizations" committed to "empowering individuals to gain access to their verifiable clinical information," including "a trustworthy and verifiable copy of their vaccination records in digital or paper form using open, interoperable standards." Its steering group is a who's who of for-profit Big Tech and Big Health corporations looking for ways to profit off personal data, including Apple, Microsoft, Cerner, Amazon Web Services, Google, Epic, the Mayo Clinic, Oracle, Salesforce, Evernorth (Cigna's health services business) and something called the Mitre Corporation.
What is Mitre? It's a nonprofit, Cold War-era conglomerate headquartered near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and near the Deep State in McLean, Virginia, which oversees billions of dollars of federally funded research in the military, homeland security, cybersecurity and now, of course, the explosively lucrative health data market. According to Forbes, Mitre raked in $1.8 billion in revenue in 2019 and boasts a $2 billion budget funded by American taxpayers. One of its many government gigs includes a $16.3 million contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help build "an enduring national capability to contain Covid-19," plus a $20 million joint partnership with the CDC on disease surveillance technology and services. As Forbes reported, the secretive military-industrial alliance brags ominously in its promotional material:
"You may not know it, but Mitre touches your life most every day."
