Bill Gates borrows an idea from the Nazis

'Saved' magazine is the source - they are anti-vaxxers. 'nuff said.

Why now for the first time in history must we be marked to show we have had a vaccine (in the vaccine itself)?

Are you too young to have gotten the smallpox vaccination? That left a visible, distinct scar. My sister had gotten hers on her thigh because the doctor thought it would be less disfiguring, but when she went to a different school district, that was unacceptable because it wasn't readily visible. So, not the first time.

Yes, Reddit is an unreliable source.

No, Saved Magazine is the source, written by Afshin Yaghtin, who used a quote from Bill Gates on March 18, 2020 during a “Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ session”, and managed to turn it into a monstrosity of false Biblical portions embellishing Satan and The End Times. The Nazi reference was a nice touch added by you.

Did people have to wear a J or a scarlet A?

I haven't moved the goal posts. Maybe you failed to notice the link to the reddit post. Maybe you think somebody was impersonating Bill Gates?

No, you asked if Reddit were an unreliable source (goalpost), not whether Bill Gates is (goalpost moved) . Reddit is an unreliable source. As to the separate question of whether or not Gates is unreliable, well, that would depend on the subject. There are somethings he knows and knows well but many other things he does not.

Attacking the source is a logical fallacy anyway.

The qualifications of the source are obviously relevant.

What a stupid question. No, people had to have a certain scar, as I said before. An indelible scar is more of a mark than wearing letter on one's clothes.

Computers: reliable.
Haircuts: not so much.

But according to you, used for the same purposes.

The article makes no mention of Nazis and this mark is not about applying a bias or prejudice towards people it's about getting people better care. It could grow into something biblical I'm sure (as could a 1000 other things) but the technology has nothing to do with it now.

No, the vaccination scar was used to confirm that a person had received the vaccination. For some reason, you introduced the wearing of a letter, so no, not according to me because I have never agreed that the wearing of an A or J had anything to do with vaccinations. I don't know why you decided to pursue this line of questioning as wearing a letter is not comparable to either a tattoo or a scar.

I suppose I should have asked, "Which people when?" but I had supposed that you were referring to what I had put in the post you quoted before asking that. I have read about the scarlet A in a work of fiction, but I don't know of anyone having to wear a J. Perhaps you meant a yellow Star of David or the pink triangle?

Either way it is a mark of identity which can be used for similar purposes.

Similar? If by "similar" you mean "opposite" then sure. Having had the vaccination scar showed you didn't need a new vaccination and were not either vulnerable or contagious while wearing an emblem marked you for deprivation of rights or even life. How is that similar?

But, of course, anything you wear - a club tie, a Mason ring, a cross with or without the body of Christ nailed on it, Brownie Scout uniform - can be used to identify you as belonging to a particular group. These things can be put on and taken off, but a scar or a tattoo is more difficult to remove - and, why would you want to since it means that you are not a danger to yourself and others in terms of spreading disease?

How do you know the motives are sincere? Why are cattle branded? What is the purpose of a useless tattoo? So what if you've been tested. Doesn't mean you still can't get the virus. Why the big deal about taking a mark in the Bible if it represents nothing.
