Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, believes that COVID-19 passports and QR codes that became widespread during the pandemic were test runs toward implementing “15-minute cities” aimed at tightening government control over people.
A 15-minute city is a neighborhood where a resident can reach everything they need, such as a grocery store, doctor, and so forth, within a 15-minute walk. Anderson says such cities are the beginning of tighter government control of people.
