Vaccine Passports: Digital Freedom or Control? | Gemma Hobcraft | TEDxStMarysUniversityTwickenham

Описание: In this talk Gemma Hobcraft will explore the legal, ethical and social issues associated with vaccine passports. Will we need digital vaccination passports to access post-covid freedoms or could this be a form of digital control as well as one that enlarges our data footprint? What will this mean domestically? What will this mean for international travel? This talk will explore the issues of vaccine passports through the lens of data ethics, civil liberties, and human rights. It will consider historical lessons relating to issues of health acting as a passport, whilst weighing up the legal and ethical pros and cons of such an approach in 2021.
