Abstract
- As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, some countries, including the US, Chile, and Germany, have considered issuing "immunity passports." This possibility has raised concerns and debate regarding their potential social, political and economic ramifications, especially for marginalized communities. This paper contributes to that debate by exposing that ways in which immunoprivilege already exists and operates within our present system of structural inequalities.
