No, they don't.

But there is zero chance that the enterprises, which do the checks,
haven't.  Founders of id2020:

https://id2020.org/alliance

Microsoft, Accenture, GAVI Alliance (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation),
Rockefeller Foundation. See their invests.

Among General Partners:

Mastercard

Who could be the profiteers? Microsoft and Mastercard are already at the
Point of Sale. And the “Covid Pass” is useless without identifying the
person who's showing it.

This will be a gateway tracking of world's population, giving the
gatekeeper role to the corporate world.

BTW: having a central database will be perfectly legal for the
enterprises. “It is needed to do the identification of the person who is
showing the Covid Pass” is excuse enough in most if not in all legal
systems.

You're building dystopia.

Yours,
VB.
