Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce have joined a broad coalition of technology and health care companies to create the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), which aims to accelerate access to COVID-19 vaccination records by creating a digital passport.
The technology would allow individuals to obtain a copy of their immunization records through a digital wallet of their choice, such as Apple Wallet or Google Pay, while those without smartphones would receive paper printed with QR codes containing verifiable credentials. In addition, the VCI said it will also try to develop new standards to help determine whether a person has or hasn’t been inoculated against the virus.
Other health care and technology leaders involved in the initative include the Commons Project Foundation, the CARIN Alliance, Cerner, Change Healthcare, Epic, Evernorth, the Mayo Clinic, MITRE, and Safe Health.
Salesforce executive vice president and general manager Bill Patterson said in a statement that the cloud-based software firm looks forward to helping organizations “easily and safely customize all aspects of the vaccination management lifecycle and integrate closely with other coalition members’ offerings, which will help us all get back to public life.”

Mike Sicilia, executive vice president of Oracle’s global business units, added that electronic access to vaccination, testing, and other medical records will be “vital to resuming travel and more” and that the process “needs to be as easy as online banking.”
“We are committed to working collectively with the technology and medical communities, as well as global governments, to ensure people will have secure access to this information where and when they need it,” Sicilia said.
A spokesperson for Microsoft told FOX Business that the tech giant has already developed an implementation guide detailing “the use of open, interoperable, and privacy-protecting standards via the SMART Health Cards framework” as part of the VCI.
The push comes after the Commons Project Foundation developed its own digital health app last year, known as CommonPass, which has already undergone a trial run with United Airlines for flights between the United States and the U.K.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that over 30 million coronavirus vaccine doses created by Pfizer and BionTech and Moderna have been distributed in the United States as of Thursday, with more than 11 million Americans already receiving their first dose.
HD Editor’s Note: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant?
Pastor JD Farag, back in July, warned of coming “identifications” that would provide “freedom” from covid lockdowns and mask mandates to those that have agreed to be vaccinated:
The imposed restrictions have been met with little to no objections as the masses have essentially acquiesced to the mandate. It seems that many have made drastic lifestyle changes under the banner of a coming vaccine, which is being touted as “The Golden Ticket,” if you will, to get one’s life back, to get one’s freedom back.
Sadly, the masses will clamor for the said vaccine out of utter exasperation and desperation so as to be given back that which was taken from them in the first place. I can’t wait to not have to wear a mask.
However, there will be those who refuse it, which will then lead to a system of validation vis-a-vis certification in the form of a vaccine identification. We’ve talked about this in-depth over the last several weeks. Absent this proof of vaccination, you will not get your life back, and you will be required to continue wearing a face mask in public.
Leo Hohmann, in his eye-opening article “3 Biggest Lies About COVID-19 Have All Been Exposed: But Here’s Why Globalist Powerbrokers Can’t Let It Die,” wrote:
“Global government will materialize. It’s only a matter of when. The Bible says the end times will be marked by the rise of an anti-Christ system that bullies and bludgeons its way to power over all humanity.”
Those who follow Bible Prophecy understand that a time will come where a world leader, the “antichrist,” will set up a global system where participation and compliance are mandatory.
This man will require all the inhabitants of the earth to receive a “mark.” Refusal to take this “mark” will cut that person off from being able to “buy or sell” (Revelation 13:16-18) and will cause them to be sentenced to death (Rev. 20:4). However, acceptance of this mark, which is directly tied to the worship of the “antichrist,” will cut a person off entirely from eternal life with Jesus Christ and Salvation (Rev. 14:9-11).
Revelation 13:16-18 KJV – “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
We are in no way saying that the Coronavirus vaccine is the mark of the beast; it is absolutely not. But the COVID crisis has been jaw-droppingly exploited by globalists worldwide in a manner that is too reminiscent of Revelation 13 to simply ignore.
Who would have thought that the entire world population would be so willing to give up their freedoms and that it would happen so rapidly? People are becoming used to a lack of freedom.
The mark will not be introduced until the Tribulation. The Bible clearly outlines that Christians will be taken out of the earth prior to the Tribulation, in the Rapture of the Church. What we are witnessing today is an astonishing and clear Harbinger of events to come!
