"As countries begin to lift coronavirus lockdowns, biometric identification can help verify those who have already had the infection, and ensure that the vulnerable get the vaccine when it is launched, health and technology experts said," reports Reuters.

The pretense for this - as it was for the US decimation of Libya, Syria, and Iraq—is "humanitarianism," according to iRespond and Simprints, a British NGO partnered with Johns Hopkins University's Global mHealth Initiative, the latter connected to the US military and its "Dark Winter" and "Event 201" pandemic scenarios (see Whitney Webb: All Roads Lead to Dark Winter).

Total surveillance requires 24/7 monitoring of individuals—especially those included in the Main Core database of activists and political enemies of the state—and biometric technology introduced during the hysteria of an exaggerated health threat fits the bill.
