Um, clearly it's not undeniable, because I deny it.
What precisely scares you so much about vaccination status being somewhat public? There's precisely zero threat to any real liberties there. And it's laughable to call this "hard totalitarianism".
As an aside, this didn't even happen, of course; we didn't "grant the play store our vaccination status". Never happened.
- swader999 5y agoBecause it's practically being used to restrict travel, employment and access to many things. What if you've already developed immunity through infection? Why should you be forced into it? This received emergency authorisation when public debate on the matter was heavily censored through government and big tech partnerships and complicit centralized media outlets. If treatments with drugs like invermectin were given a fair consideration then it's likely these vaccines couldn't have been authorised under the emergency use protocols.

- loopz 5y agoVaccine status may grant more freedoms to more people, but can only happen with some degree of controlling the masses. You have to at some point, see beyond your nose tip.
- swader999 5y agoNobody is being given anything. We already have freedom of movement, association and equal access to education and employment. Now through this passport they will be taking freedom from those without. And of course it will be scanned and forever noted on entry every where its asked for.
- loopz 5y agoLaws during medical/health crisis take away your freedoms, and provide governments with powers and levers to remedy the situation.
- swader999 5y agoYes but we need a functioning press without censorship to have faith that laws made in these times are legitimate.
- loopz 5y agoI can choose media, ranging from the shocking, hysterical and to the somber and predictable. The former being privately owned, and the latter state owned. So I see private media as entertainment and shock value / horror-show.
- Bud 5y agoOne obvious reason is that immunity via infection is significantly inferior to that granted by vaccination. Also, please don't exaggerate; nobody is being "forced into" vaccination. To the extent that restrictions are being put in place, that is happening to save lives. I for one am glad of that. Ivermectin, btw, which you misspelled, is not a good or even average treatment for covid-19. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19 https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-shoul...
- codeflow2202 5y agoIvermectin is actually getting the same treatment as the lab leak hypothesis had till a week ago. Many credible sources are screaming that it's time to get a good look into it since it appears to be a great treatment for covid.
- swader999 5y agoThat link is hilarious. Try to read what it says: FDA admits they have not reviewed the data on which to base this conclusion: "The FDA has not reviewed data to support the use of Ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or prevent COVID-19..."
- throwitaway1235 5y agoWhat "never happened" lol? My state of NY has the Excelsior Pass as an app for download on the play store, which has my vaccination status. You are literally denying objective reality. Google nor any other private non-health corporation has any right to that information.
- Bud 5y agoIt never happened. Why are you telling outright lies in public? Obviously the download of that app is entirely voluntary, and just as obviously, Google has no clue about your status unless you disclose it to them.
