As long as there's some mechanism to identify the fraudulent cards people can be held accountable for trying to pass off a fake as the real thing. Making, selling, or using a fake vaccination card is a felony.
Can just anybody call up say, Walmart and verify if a vaccination card supposedly filled out by them is authentic? If not then that's the issue. Not the fact that fakes exist.
- jaywalk 5y agoYes, let's just make everyone's private medical info even less private! That's the ticket!
- soco 5y agoI don't understand why the US must invent new solutions, when there are already working solutions in other countries of the world. Yes, with a digitally signed QR code and an ID, where the controller checks the signature and the ID and that's it, no medical info goes anywhere. Even the US has ID checks when buying alcohol, why it's so difficult to use for covid? And yeah some people show fake IDs too, but how many are those. And yeah some people will show with "lying" QRs but only the health authorities can issue those so you know already where you must look for the forgers.
- jaywalk 5y agoWhat "new solutions" has the US invented? The cards were never meant to serve as proof of vaccination. That's the bottom line.
