Thought I'd share my interpretation on this.
The Mark of the Beast:
I've been trying to shy away from this topic until I was more sure of what this prophecy entails.
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. ... That number is 666.
I've been seeing the number pop up all over the place lately. To the point of sounding crazy, I ask that you bear with me on this. Here is just a few occasions where the number appears.
Text for H.R.6666 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): COVID–19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act
www.congress.gov
To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes.
<p>The Ministry of Health recorded 10,657 COVID-19 infections, including seven imported cases, in the past 24 hours to 18:30pm on August 20, raising the national tally to 323,268.</p>

I get it's 65 thousand but the number does appear in it.
Though that numerical observation is a semi tangent. The point I'm trying to make is relating to the Vaccine passports. My interpretation of all this is that the Mark is semi literal and semi temprement. (I forget the word I was trying to use here.) So basically you have the Mark itself and the associated personality trait. Anyhow, the literal part of it is the passport itself. There's two ways you can identify a vaccinated individual, firstly from the literal Mark, and secondly trough facial recognition and other identifiers.
An example of the Chinese implementation of the system. A numerical value is assigned to each person, on their forehead.
An example from my country, Australia. An army officer scans a woman's QR code. Technically speaking the sign in at that point would allow the forehead assignment to work without the whole face. I'd guess most right handed individuals would use their right hand to show their smartphones, and the mark.
I could honestly sit here all day as to why I don't trust the vaccines and how they don't work. The vaccine is definitely the mark of the beast. In Australia a lot of business are forcing the vaccines onto the employees, which is actually illegal, ironically under the bio security act (Though they're changing that to allow them to keep pushing the treason further) The government has even been paying crisis actors to create fear porn so people get the mark.
Believe it or not, this is actually pretty unbiased for ABC.
Notice the tone in this news report, though I grabbed this one because of the point made earlier in the video. "Don't expect to be allowed anywhere if you don't take the shots" This ties back right into the original prophecy:
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. ... That number is 666.
Hence why I am fairly certain that the vaccine and all associated is the mark of the beast.
