About Those Vaccine ID Cards... - by Charles Hugh Smith
An idea that's simple as an abstraction--vaccine ID cards--turns out to be extremely difficult once real-world operational realities must be dealt with.
Vaccination cards will be issued to everyone getting Covid-19 vaccine, health officials say. (CNN)
Everyone will get a card "they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due," says Dr. Kelly Moore of the Immunization Action Coalition.
"Your papers, please" is an expression or trope associated with police state functionaries, allegedly popularized in Hollywood movies featuring Nazi Party officials demanding identification from citizens during random stops or at checkpoints.
It's been a long time coming:
- "The Known Traveller : Unlocking the potential of digital identity for secure & seamless travel":
- The Totalitarian Dystopia of the World Economic Forum is Becoming Reality
- FBI reportedly uses data from Sabre, the world’s largest travel data holder, to conduct surveillance around the world.
- Total Information Awareness (TIA)
- The Global Grid
- and other "Asshollery of a very refined form"
Philosophically, blockchain is a totalitarian regime which aims to put a label on every atom in the universe. Based on confused views of signifier/signified and map/territory relations - It naively assumes that the quality of experience & truth increases, the deeper the simulacra.

HIV-Like Virus Edited Out of Primate Genome
Breakthrough brings Temple researchers and their collaborators closer to a cure for human HIV infection. "We show for the first time that a single inoculation of our CRISPR gene-editing construct, carried by an adeno-associated virus, can edit out the SIV genome from infected cells in rhesus macaque monkeys,". The report, which was published online November 27 in the journal Nature Communications.

Physicists could do the 'impossible': Create and destroy magnetic fields from afar
A new study circumvents a 178-year-old theory. Scientists have figured out a way to create and cancel magnetic fields from afar. The method involves running electric current through a special arrangement of wires to create a magnetic field that looks as if it came from another source. "We create the illusion of having this source at a distance," Mach-Batlle said. The researchers published their findings Oct. 23 in the journal Physical Review Letters.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing The Fitness Industry During COVID-19
The fitness industry is undergoing a major transformation through a massive deployment of IoT applications and innovative artificial intelligence (AI) product offerings. The research firm Reports and Data predicts that the annual revenues for the fitness app market will reach $14.64 billion by 2027 with around 100.2 mln of fitness app users by 2024. AI-powered applications in the health, nutritional, and fitness sectors are finding exceptional consumer demand. Hiring an AI engineer, startup owners are creating smarter products, leveraging the latest innovations in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision.
Challenges of Human Pose Estimation in AI-Powered Fitness Apps
Human pose estimation is a popular solution that AI has to offer; it is used to determine the position and orientation of the human body given an image containing a person. Some examples of applying pose estimation in fitness are Kaia, VAI Fitness Coach, Ally apps, or the Millie Fit device. Powered by computer vision and natural language processing algorithms, the technologies lead end-users through a number of workouts and give real-time feedback.
3D Human Pose Estimation in AI Fitness Coach Apps
“Is it possible for a technology solution to replace fitness coaches? Well, someone still has to motivate you saying “Come On, even my grandma can do better!” But from a technology point of view, this high-level requirement led us to 3D human pose estimation technology. In this article, I will describe our own experience of how 3D human pose estimation can be developed and implemented for the AI fitness coach solution.

Vaccine rumours debunked: Microchips, 'altered DNA' and more (BBC)
"Injecting RNA into a person doesn't do anything to the DNA of a human cell," said Prof Jeffrey Almond of Oxford University. Pfizer spokesperson Andrew Widger said the company's vaccine "does not alter the DNA sequence of a human body. It only presents the body with the instructions to build immunity". It is true that no mRNA vaccine has been approved before, but multiple studies of mRNA vaccines in humans have taken place over the last few years.

The Pharma giant Pfizer has now announced what they claim were spectacular results in initial human tests. They use an experimental technology known as gene editing, specifically mRNA gene-editing, something never before used in vaccines. Before we rush to get jabbed in hopes of some immunity, we should know more about the radical experimental technology and its lack of precision.
