The Word They're Looking for is 'Premeditated'

 No Government Can Make as Many Mistakes and Errors About COVID as Ours Did; It Requires Intent [More]

So they're not just wrong...?

Check out the page for ID2020's "Digital Health ID" here:

"The ability to prove one’s identity is a fundamental and universal human right. Yet over 1 billion people worldwide are unable to prove their identity through any recognized means. The majority – 650 million – of those living without identification are children under the age of fourteen who have not received a birth certificate."

"The program seeks to provide infants with a portable, biometrically-linked digital ID either at the point of birth registration or at the time of routine immunization"

"Driving improvements in vaccination efficiency, coverage, and equity in order to:
Enable portability across geographies,
Increase the number of fully immunized children..."

Before COVID, people would have looked at this and said, "what is this crap?" Now they can publish it and people say, "what a fine idea."

Pretty much what I've been saying about the whole Biden Administration.

If they were merely incompetent, there would be a statistical distribution: some things they'd do wrong, some right, most a mix of right and wrong, and a few outliers that are either excellent or disastrous.

But that's not what we see. Pretty much every decision has been wrong, and not just "normal" wrong; catastrophically wrong. The COVID response and the Afghanistan withdrawal are the most high-profile, but other more mundane examples abound.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity," says Hanlon's Razor. However, they can't be this predictably wrong and reasonably attribute it to incompetence.
