Dr. Michael Osterholm of CIDRAP discussed the concept of "immunity passports" and cautioned that it is too early to implement such a system. While some companies want to use antibody testing to reopen sooner, health experts warn that the level of protection provided by antibodies is not yet fully understood. The WHO has also expressed reservations about the scientific validity of issuing such certifications.
