Star Trek Picard - UHC Card, ID and Vax Chips

YES YES I caught that.
I was tempted to make thread about it but didn't.
They don't call it "Programing" for nothing right!

Ha, the UHC Card is actually cannon and goes back to a DS9 Episode:

"By 2024, US citizens were required to carry two forms of identifications: UHC cards to prove they had a job and a home, and a Transit Pass used to prove that a citizen had an intended destination and was not simply a vagrant. Sisko and Bashir had neither and were promptly rounded up by District Security and brought to Sanctuary District A, which we discover is little more than a detention camp."

It's unclear the intention of this in the show.
Were the vaccination chips part of the confederacy timeline, just as 7/9 didn't have her occular implant any longer?

If it was from only the alternate confederacy timeline, how does Jurati know about them. It's not mentioned any other time in the show.

Just wondering the intention of the writers putting it into the show.

I decided to watch Picard season two last night. I immediately caught the Vax Chip part at Season 2 Episode 3 at the 18:38 mark. I had to replay it a couple times.

As I continued watching I noticed that "Q" is something we've heard a lot about too.

The borg queen running around gobbling up lithium batteries and her desire to connect everyone to hive mind reminds me of posts where people talk about the jab being able to connect everyone to an AI. I think the queen represents the dark side of AI.

difficult to say if its pre-messaging or the writers look at conspiracy sights to get ideas for the show....although the AI borg queen did come out years ago so who knows.
