The modern world hurts my brain.
When I first heard about it, I was pumped.
Friends, the time Id save!
But, of course, the world had something to say about that.
While putting my digital certificate of vaccination in an easy-to-access place is cool… is it safe?
And because Icando it, does that mean I should?
Something that seemed simple on the surface is actually a minefield.
I wanted some clarity on this issue.
Strangely, a number declined to comment, with one of them saying the topic was a hornets nest.
This is John Fokker himself.
Bless his heart for all he has done.
To counter this, Fokker advised digital mindfulness.
Wise advice all around.
There was substantial backlash over the move, leading tothe feature being delayed.
In other words, a digital ID sitting in the Apple Wallet could be a privacy nightmare.
So, is there a chance similar things could happen with vaccination QR codes?
Alone, it proves little.
In fact, a digital corona vaccination certificate sitting in the Apple Wallet has some potential benefits.
Fokker told me such a move could lead to a more unified approach to development and security standardization.
Moving to a platform like the Apple Wallet app could negate this.
In this way, vaccination certificates differ from digital IDs.
So, there you have it!
A little bit of respite before the modern world messes with our heads again.
