Certainly looking like the use of covid passports (that I generally support) is on less solid footing. One source of the Omicron spread in Scotland appears to be a Steps concert in Glasgow which would have required a vaccination passport. I know the vaccination does not stop the spread but on a PR standpoint, to have one the main sources of infection being an event requiring a passport is not ideal.
Tragedy.
To me, it's something of a 'no win' situation for those encouraging vaccination. Any incident like the above is seen as a 'victory' for anti-vax-ers.Certainly looking like the use of covid passports (that I generally support) is on less solid footing.

But the REAL, but rather unquantifiable, response should be... Just imagine how many cases there would have been without the vax-passports!!
Realistically, it's a case of 'limiting' the spread, not necessarily preventing it.
Not good!The updated reporting on this one is that the venue didn’t do any sort of checks for vaccine passports etc so they’ve absolutely no idea what the status was of anyone in the place.
When they're admitted to hospital they tend to be ex-anti-vaxxers.Excuse my ignorance but when anti-vaxxers or the ‘vaccine hesitant’ are admitted to hospital with COVID are they also anti or hesitant about new anti virals or other newer treatments or do they just lie there and assume their natural immunity will sort it out? Where is the line that they won’t cross?

The Grand Prix, a supposed 'test event', was a joke. I was expecting to have the code scanned and show some ID to prove it was mine, but nothing of the sort, the proofs were given a cursory glance at the mostRealistically, how many if any of these major events actually carry out proper checks?
When I go to football, we file in simply holding up our phones with the NHS page with the QR code on it. I'm double jabbed & boosted, but because of issues with getting the app to play as we go in, I take a screen shot of it, save it to a photo album and then just display the photo. There is no way they can read a name on it, nor do they know the name of the person holding the phone.
I wonder how many of those displaying vaccine passports have had a photo sent to them by a friend?
Or saddest for being in the know.Post of the day so far
Probably when they are unconscious and family have to make decisionsExcuse my ignorance but when anti-vaxxers or the ‘vaccine hesitant’ are admitted to hospital with COVID are they also anti or hesitant about new anti virals or other newer treatments or do they just lie there and assume their natural immunity will sort it out?

I guess they had to step up a notch due to the new varientIs this government trying to bankrupt me? Currently in Spain just over two weeks into a three week stay. Before we left, we spent £40 booking our Day 2 lateral flow tests. After we got here, they changed the rules - it has to be PCR test. So we spent another £140 on booking our PCR tests. Now they change the rules again and we now have to have tests before we depart for home? So somehow got to find a somewhere to get a test out here? I know we had to take our chances by coming out in the first place, but it's darn annoying nonetheless.
