They don't need to. Your phone is the chip!

What are the benefits?

You MAY get slightly less sick from COVID than everyone else. That's been my experience with vaccinated people. They were no more or less sick than I was when I had COVID, and I wasn't vaccinated.

So would they know more about you than just whether you got the vax? I'm trying to understand why this would be an issue for vaccinated people too.

It does sound scary but I'm wondering how they can get more information out of you..is that allowed or possible? Isn't the function just to show the card itself?

I don't know about other states, but Louisiana has an app for drivers licenses. I have it, it states that I'm vaccinated and also has a gold star, for REAL ID or something. Just to prove that I'm an American citizen.

I can't wait to read the responses from the characters on this board. Let the games begin!
I already added mine. Kind of cool, actually. I imagine it wont be long before I need to show it to get into concerts, sporting events, etc., so this makes it easier.

Here's an article about our Electronic Health Records: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/27/ho...igital-health/

No, if you only put the card on your phone, all they have access to is the card, unless you voluntarily give out any other medical information.

Yeah, I put that badly. I was thinking of the benefits of the card.

The benefits of lower risk of getting and - God forbid - spreading a pretty serious disease are, I guess, pretty much to be taken as given in my value system.
