Digital Covid-19 vaccine passport for South Africa launching "in just over a week"

[NarrowBandFtw]

The fact that this has to be explained to people boggles the mind.

yes THIS boggles the mind that it needs and explanation at all:

excellent, so taking your argument further ...

IF there was an experimental medical procedure back in the 70's that could turn a black person into a white person and it was made freely available to anyone

THEN the pass laws and everything else during apartheid would be fine? a black person would have no right to expect equal treatment while keeping the skin they were born with?

 

[Nanfeishen]

You can’t choose to be black/white/other.

You can choose to be vaccinated.

The key word is legislation.

The Dompas was discrimination through legislation

Covid passports have exactly the same potential , discrimination through legislation.

Be it a life choice or for medical reasons , not everyone is going to be vaccinated, that is just a fact.

Be it for travel , fair enough, be it for any sort of denial of access to events , places, or venues , sorry, but even if one is vehemently opposed to the anti-vax mind set, one should oppose these measures as being unacceptable.

By that logic the denial of access without a mask or fever level temperatures is already unacceptable (it isn’t) because the idea of protecting people from infection is then unacceptable.

Unlike the frankly ridiculous apartheid comparison the motivation for the concept existing is entirely different.

Those who are unvaccinated should be denied access to events, places and venues exactly like they are currently denied access for not wearing a mask or having a high temperature and potentially putting others at risk through that behaviour.

If everyone gets with the program the problem soon goes away. It would have been long forgotten already if everyone just stuck to the rules.

Many international flights have been missed because the passenger forgot the yellow book. Why didn’t they think of digitizing earlier?

Scale.

So just in time for Nov 1 then…

This nonsense again. The unvaccinated and vaccinated can have the same viral loads. This is old news.

Cant I just take a photo of my vaccine card?

What these fools don't realize, is that I have been training for this moment all my life.

 

[TechGirl04]

You realise that the government has no way of accessing the information that is in our yellow vaccination booklets. This digital version is the beginning of surrendering any privacy citizens have.

China has already taken this one step further and is implementing a 'social credit' system to penalise or reward citizens. You even get penalised for buying too many playstation games or wasteful spending. Penalties include limiting hotels you are allowed to stay in, barring you from 1st class train tickets...

Its crazy. But real, and could be coming soon to a dorpie near you. Just google China's social credit system...

Reminds me of a black mirror episode...

 

[Ancalagon]

Everyone on MyBB needs to apply to work for the EVDS.

The amount of bribes you are soon going to be offered is likely to be insane.

"China just register me as having been vaccinated quickly. Thanks hey. How much did you say? R10000? Yeah that's cool. Thanks my brother."

Why is it illegal to ask about somebody's HIV/AIDS status but legal to ask about their vaccination status?

Because it’s science

Even the DA might be able to overcome the stigma of being the white party if it runs adverts that tell people the ANC wants to bring the Dompas back.

So he's a hack. Who cares what he thinks.

Ah...

Not even a hack. No medical qualifications even. Why are we using Israel as a model country in combating COVID-19 again?

[Brenden_E]

This is awesome. Anybody that doesn't have a valid medical confirmed reason not to get vaxxed should get jabbed. People are *dying* because of this mental illness the covidiots have. Covidiot = Murderer.

Hopefully the vaccine passport will help us work out the selfish social deviants from society. At least for a while.

 

[Grant]

So he's a hack. Who cares what he thinks.

Let me see if I understand.


He said:

vax passport has no medical or epidemiological justification other than to pressure the unvaccinated to vaccinate.

You said:

So he's a hack. Who cares what he thinks.

So he is saying vaccine passports are a load of crap.
But you say "he's a hack, who cares what he thinks".

Ergo: he's talking crap in that there is no justification in the use of vaccine passports.



Flipflop incoming...

 

[Venator]

Don't know why they use covid as a reason to get everything onto a digital platform. I'm pretty sure people would have been much more interested in migrating to a digital way of life if it wasn't forced on them via a EMA vaccine for a pandemic, which redefined by WHO prior to the outbreak (weird hey), that has a 99.9% survival rate.

225,412,725 covid cases, 4,642,861 deaths.

4,642,861 ÷ 225,412,725 = 2.05971557%
Therefore the survival rate = 100 - 2.05971557 = 97.94%

Please show your working as to how you got to "99.9%"
