Glad I could make you laugh. Actually, very little of society requires a SSN. It is for social security, tax and potentially other financial purposes. I do not use it for other things and live just fine. I'm not sure what vaccines have to do with anything.

I acknowledge and state outright that it is probably illegal to destroy the chip. But that wouldn't stop me from doing so if I receive a chipped passport.

The old "if you have nothing to hide" theory. Sorry, but I'm not buying it.
