It's going to make everyone afraid, and when they "lift" the lockdown and instead mandate QR passes everywhere, everyone will be happy about the end of the lockdown rather than angry about the passes.
And then they will have what they wanted: no one will be able to do anything without first being granted explicit government permission. That's the point.
For the Americans here, here's how the passes work (and they're already required for bars, restaurants and sports): once vaccinated you get a code, but the code is not human-readable and you cannot know what's in there. If you want to go somewhere, someone with a government app will scan it, and either allow you in or not.
If it says no, you don't get any information about why not, it could be totally arbitrary. You also don't know what the app is doing and how it's making the decision - and in any case the government could change it completely at any time and without any oversight simply by pushing an update.
It is going to work.
