由于新冠肺炎、脆弱的经济、旅行限制以及普遍存在的焦虑情绪，抗体作为“免疫声明”或“护照”的概念正席卷全球。许多科学和伦理问题混淆了抗体护照的概念；尽管如此，抗体可以被视为一种潜在的货币，允许人员流动和全球经济复苏。正如金融货币可以伪造一样，欺诈性抗体护照的可能性也是如此。这篇文章探讨了科学、伦理和身份盗窃问题，以及偏见和歧视问题，这些问题可能会揭示一个大流行的“黄金护照”的世界。
Due to COVID-19, the fragile economy, travel restrictions, and generalized anxieties, the concept of antibodies as a "declaration of immunity" or "passport" is sweeping the world. Numerous scientific and ethical issues confound the concept of an antibody passport; nonetheless, antibodies can be seen as a potential currency to allow movement of people and resuscitation of global economics. Just as financial currency can be forged, so too is the potential for fraudulent antibody passports. This paper explores matters of science, ethics, and identity theft, as well as the problems of bias and discrimination that could promulgate a world of pandemic "golden passports."
