Lovely.
How long until gov't covid passport apps leak
- adolph 5y agoWouldn’t it make sense for that to be public information from the getgo?
- toolz 5y agoNot at all - imagine you have very specific medical reasons you can't take the vaccine. Do you want the world knowing you're unvaccinated in this political climate? Do you want to explain your condition to anyone who might be judging you for your lack of vaccination status? There's a reason our medical records are private.
- dinvlad 5y agoTbh I think we have an opposite problem right now - too few folks getting vaccinated and even somewhat ashamedly asking others to. I wish we were in a situation where unvaccinated folks were considered "black sheep", but unfortunately we're still far from it.
- adolph 5y agoI’m confused about this. Isn’t the possession of a Covid passport a public declaration regarding part of one’s medical record? Let’s say your friends go out to do covid passport things and you always decline—they are going to know you are unvaccinated eventually and not invite you to New Years.
- spicybright 5y agoI have no idea how it works, but, the app could just report if someone is vaccinated, or cleared by a doctor that they medially can't have the vaccine, without specifying which one.
- toolz 5y agoYep, that's one of many reasons these passports are ridiculous - people use the argument that you need that stuff for school and whatnot, but those are all private records. Today people are demanding passports be used in all public places. The minorities and disadvantaged don't seem to be something people care about during a pandemic and honestly I'm not surprised.
