Iceland accepts either vaccine or previous infection certificates[1][2]. They seemed to handle covid well, being fairly strict.
Fake vaccinations[3], including fake certificates are popular, especially when they are forced. If you want a fake vaccination, I know a guy who knows a guy. Point is - it's not bullshit.
Yes, checking certificates is easier than testing for antibodies. While harder, I still think antibody tests would have less false positives and I most certainly don't think the relative easiness to administer vaccines is a good reason to require everyone to take them, even when they are more immune then those who only got the vaccine.
A friend had an antibody test as he already had covid and didn't want to go for a vaccine. It was no big deal.

- bayesian_horse 5y agoDid you notice that Iceland is a slightly smaller country, with probably quite a bit fewer medical labs? Also an island, with islands generally having an easier time with all the pandemic restrictions stuff? I don't even know how Iceland's health system is organized. But it would be a good bet that it is light years ahead of the mess of the 52 states plus territories and whatever! Much different story.
