- londons_explore 5y agoI think most health policy decisionmakers would happily accept a positive test result for covid in place of a vaccination as long as this science is replicated by other parties.
- john_minsk 5y agoSorry? Not exemption. Inclusion! Why there is some process that treats some antibodies better compared to others is beyond my understanding. But In my view it is unscientific and as a result I can’t trust that the rest of the program of passports is designed properly and based on facts.
- BoxOfRain 5y agoI don't think being against vaccine passports necessarily makes you an anti-vaxxer. I've had both shots of the vaccine and I strongly oppose any sort of mandatory government ID card health-related or not, to the point I'll avoid patronising domestic businesses that voluntarily (ie without strong government coercion) impose them. I'm not a fan of any form of authoritarianism really, let alone the overtly authoritarian "papers please" brand of it. One of the key parts of a free country is that you can be anywhere within it without some nosy government inspector (in person or by proxy electronically) demanding that you justify your presence there.
- swader999 5y agoExactly this. And all it takes is for this scanning system to be centralized and then they can turn you off and geo fence you in. You may trust the current government to not abuse it but do you trust the next ten?
