Commission proposal for a common vaccination card/passport for EU citizens
The ultimate goal of a vaccination passport would be to ensure that children who move between countries with different immunisation schedules do not miss out on crucial vaccinations. A similar scheme is already in place for pets and has helped boost vaccination rates, according to the European Commission.

If the government actually goes for this, does this mean that they can stop financially supporting businesses and employees (I mean the grants, PUP etc.)?

We've created an open air lunatic asylum. Had a customer in this morning giving out about people on a beach yesterday with no mask, I don't usually get thick but I unleashed on him, his own mask looked like he just wiped his ass with it. I'm really starting to see these crazy people as a threat to humanity.

There will be no concept of a "vaccine passport" for access to domestic services in general, in Ireland. I know that right now for a fact because it took nearly a year to get mandatory hotel quarantine in place. By the time the logistical, constitutional and legislative frameworks would be in place to have an internal "vaccine passport" operating - even on emergency basis - we will be well over the herd immunity threshold for vaccinations, rendering the passes obsolete. There may be some limited circumstances where someone cannot enter a facility without vaccination - such as hospitals or nursing homes. But there is no chance whatsoever that you will be forced to show a vaccine cert to go and have a pint in your local.

I get the impression that some moaning about it on here, actually want it to happen so they can have something else to piss and moan about.

seamus wrote: » None of that at all contradicts what I have said. Israel and the UK are two different jurisdictions with very different legal and social environments to ours. Israel has for some reason seemed to have decided to slow down its vaccine rollout and open up its economy instead. It's a private venture that has received no traction in Ireland. The existence of a privately-operated app doesn't address the logistical and legal provisions that would be required to make it a thing in Ireland. As I say, simply vaccinating 70% of the population is easier and quicker than making vaccine certificates mandatory. So that's what will happen.

seamus wrote: » I expect it'll remain weird and slightly complicated within the EU at least until the middle of 2022. Fines for non-essential travel will be gone by the end of June 2021, if not sooner. The "green list" concept will continue to be used, and since practically all EU countries will be "green list" towards the end of the year, then travel within the EU will be largely unhindered by mid-late Summer 2021. However, until all EU countries have achieved herd immunity, there will still be caution. So I expect to avoid quarantine, you will have to - Have started your journey in a green list country, and - Have proof of vaccination OR proof of recent negative PCR tests. Probably two tests a few days apart. If someone comes from outside of a green list country (say coming from Brazil to Dublin via Frankfurt), then you will have to quarantine unless you have proof of vaccination that is recognised within the EU. By early 2022, all EU member states will be functionally finished their vaccination programme, so the requirement for a vaccine passport will be eventually be dropped for intra-EU travel. But only where you start your journey in the EU. Travellers from outside the EU will still need to show proof of vaccination, but the pool of countries that it doesn't apply to will expand quickly as the likes of the US, UK, Switzerland, etc., will all be vaccinated too and we don't want to hurt tourism. If there are still virus hotspots in Summer 2022 that don't have it under control, the focus will be on controlling travel to and from these countries rather than trying to control ALL travel in and out. We got fvcked so badly with this because the big hotspot was slap bang in the middle of the EU and nobody wanted to close down internal travel. If it had been Chile instead of Italy, everyone would have just cut Chile out of the loop without a second thought and it would never have spread. If there are virus hotspots in 2022, they will be poorer countries that will get cut off from the rest of the world without debate.

I believe in vaccines and I'll get vaccinated but ask yourself, why do we need this for covid. If you chose not to get vaccinated ok I think you are an idiot but it's your body your right. If you go to a festival, travel.... and get covid, your problem not mine. If you have it and spread it you are spreading it to other unvaccinated fools again your or their problem not mine. The corner case is where there are people who can't take the vaccine. Come on really there are at least 4 affective vaccines, surely one of them will be suitable for you. If not well, wear a mask wash your hands because a vaccine pass port won't change that, life dealt you a bad card. But think of the children, if they move they might miss one. Well it is up to their parents to make sure their kids get vaccinated and any way herd immunity will protect them so calm down and is it more than 0.1% of children? If you think no the state wouldn't do such a thing! Garda bugged their own phone lies to listen to calls between solicitors and suspects. GSOC was bugged. The scope of the PSC was expanded and changed till the DPC stepped in and found against them. The Dept of Health build files on children with Autism in secret.

The fact that this is being driven by private companies and Governments rather than by public health is also a cause for concern considering how they have used private data in the past. The real question should be, do Vaccine passports reduce transmission of the virus and the incidence of CV-19?
Fighting Tao wrote: » My 1 year old has a vaccine passport. It is a booklet that specifies that they received vaccines at specific dates. Some countries specify that you need to be vaccinated against certain diseases to protect their population. All that is, is a piece of paper. The number of people extrapolating more than it is likely to be (if it even comes into play!) is a bit crazy.
