Who would ever want to use such technology on a submarine? Nah, just let the whole crew get infected.

It's a submarine. What are you going to do if one or more tests positive. "Send him to his room" doesn't apply.

"Oh well let's not waste this great chip we designed and tested. Let's use it somewhere else."

Exactly. That is the point. We now have vaccines that greatly reduce the risk that someone will get infected and introduce the virus into the ship.

Russell Brand talks sense and gets it spot on correct in an outstanding video speaking to the controversial issue of 'Vaccine passports'.



This is an issue that should unite us all - against this truly terrible idea.

Exactly, government shouldn't mandate it but by the same token, aren't vaccines heavily suggested or mandated at public schools.

Nah, he saying a Private business can do whatever it wants including banning folks who are vaccinated, or vice versa. Which is likely going to happen. I imagine some businesses will mandate employees not able to come back to the office unless vaccinated and if they keep working at home, in states like Texas were you can let someone go for any reason, they'll lose their job.

Some businesses could do the exact opposite, and ban people who have the vaccine, and fire vaccinated workers etcetera.
