In the UK Parliament, MP Desmond Swain questioned why the government is hiring a "Deputy Director of Delivery" for a COVID pass if the program has supposedly ended. Health Secretary Sajid Javid's response about "digital resources" is interpreted as a sign that the infrastructure for a permanent digital ID is being quietly finalized. This system is expected to eventually integrate with mobile wallets and "Buy Now Pay Later" financial services.

Apple is integrating verifiable COVID-19 vaccination cards into the iPhone wallet, a move the hosts mock as "sheep" behavior.
