    WTF is this article saying..they don't even have ID cards over there. :rolleyes: Laughable.
    And they are compaining and think it is uneccessary to have photo id to vote.

    What do you expect if these people believe id cards are too much?

    Apparently any Tom Jack and Jerry can walk all over the UK without any sort of paper or id and even vote and that's fine.

    no I think what they're suggesting is that people who aren't vaccinated get to wear pretty little six-pointed star patches on their clothing

    Give an inch, they’ll take a mile.

    It’s just 14 days to slow the spread
    It’s just the next 30 days
    It’s just a lockdown
    It’s just a mask
    It’s just stay six feet apart
    It’s just a triple mask
    It’s just a vaccine
    It’s just a vaccine passport
    It’s just a microchip
    If you don’t take the vaccine you are not allowed to participate in society

    Take it and shove the vaccine passport up your ass.

    If you do not learn how to separate these two groups you and those alike are going to cut yourself and point down. Ant-maskers, anti distancers, ant-vaxers should NOT be integrated with concerns over vaccine passports if you actually care about this issue.

    People are only talking about vaccine passports in the context of international travel. This isn't even a new concept. Even before Covid, certain countries imposed vaccine requirements on visitors. And generally you had to bring documentation from your primary care physician to prove your immunization record.

    Similarly, if I want to enroll my child in school, I'd have tp prove his immunization history to the school. This isn't exactly a new concept.

    And more importantly, vaccination rates across the world are wildly inconsistent. Much of the world won't get proper vaccination until 2022 at the earliest. So it is in the interest of those countries to only allow in people that are vaccinated (hence the need for vaccine passports). For example, Canada's vaccination rate is only about a third of the US rate right now. So the US will complete vaccination several months earlier than Canada. So it is in our interest to create a vaccine passport system that can be trusted by both countries to enable cross border movement without quarantines. There are communities on both sides that desperately need this. (and as someone moving north of the border later this year, I'd really like to avoid a 2 week quarantine when I move).

    And if you don't want to travel outside the US, then don't worry about any of this as it doesn't apply to you.

    that's really not the case. in New York state (which now has one) the passport supposedly will allow people to attend sporting events, live concerts, weddings, and other large gatherings of people. presumably it will be necessary to have one to do things like going out to eat. I think folks should be very very nervous about this.

    I am very pro-vaccine. I think everybody should get one. I am very vaccine-passport hesitant.

    I remember when people were complaining about restrictions in China and saying how it was easy to shut down the country because they had cards you had to swipe to enable you to do certain things and access certain parts of the country....


    And I agree. Pro vaccine, anti-passport.

    Exactly what I was talking about yesterday. Nothing gets these people riled up like something that they can claim is the mark of the beast.

    Wow so JR is full on conspiracy theorist as well as a die hard MAGA guy.

    No wonder Q'anon is a thing.

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    It's a sign of how desperate they are to keep that outrage meter at 11, I think they are gonna burn themselves out and reap what they have sown come 2022.

    This is an interesting topic but they can't help but take it to crazy town.

    This is so out of touch. "Papers please" is a fear of discriminating humans based on traits they were born with like race and ethnicity rather than disbelief through propaganda of the efficacy and safety of vaccines?

    Do you get that?

    Comparing this to the Holocaust is disgusting. You should be ashamed. Take your out of touch holocaust comparison up your ass.

    It might serve as incentive for people to get vaccinated if they can only do certain things or go certain places if they have it. The more people are vaccinated, the less a country has to deal with hospitalizations and ICUs and ventilators and other crap, not to mention missed time from work and things like that. So it helps the push to normalization.

    Why? What does Reason.com have to say about private businesses allowing or disallowing certain customers? If a restaurant only wants vaccinated customers, isn't that a free market decision? Should government be intruding on their right to do business how they please?
