I’m certain you haven’t had anything similar in Norway since .... hmmm WW2 ?

Not sure I follow.

How is the so called Covid Passport any different than having to show your childs vaccine record to enroll them in school every year?

Why is there no option for those who have already been infected / have antibodies? After all , your own human immune system offers FAR greater protection than any vaccine could ever hope to offer ! Furthermore WHY would someone who already has antibodies want a vaccine? Furthermore anyone with the slightest bit of common sense can ascertain that this “vaxx passport” will create a 2-tier society : those who have the vaxx can move freely around society while those that do not are not able to

Not sure I follow.

You need an ID to get into Telemark?

 

[biggun]

I have no idea Jim.

People talk about various restrictions but they are actually recommendations here in Norway and not laws.

 

[biggun]

As for the Vaxx 'port, is it any different from needing the Dengie or Yellow fever jabs to be allowed to travel to areas high in those diseases?

They will stop westerners travelling to areas like that, as it is bad for press if they die or have severe implications.

 

[FireFighterZero]

It was a tongue in cheek reference to the Heavy Water facility used by the Germans in WW2.

 

[biggun]

Well as I far as I can remember they would only let you into Telemark if you were a 'Hero'

Well....if you dont need a fugging ID to vote....why do you need a VAX passport?

One is voter suppression....is one travel suppression?

 

[kevin bingham]

needing a vaccine to vote might be a good idea! that might be something to think about.

Jim, do you honestly think there is anywhere in the World, you cxan travel between countries without a passport?

Well, Scandinavians can go to other countries in Scandinavia with just a photo ID, such as a drivers licence.
But apart from that.

Don't you think I need a passport when I want to visit family in Schweiz.

2 types of covid vaxx passports being discussed here. 1) for travel among countries, 2) to move about freely in your own town/city/county/state

My son just spent 17 years n the California education system. I believe we just used a personal exemption while he was in grade schools. They ask for it at 1st, 7th, and 9th grade, then for the first year of college, and entering grad school.

Vaxxine passports are being talked about for entrance to sporting and music events etc.

Or even voter ID or proof of life...

We just claimed an exemption on religious grounds since that was the only valid option. Never had a problem with any of the ten children and we ran the gamut of public schools, private schools, charter schools, Catholic schools, sports programs, summer camps, etc.

I don't think there is an option to exempt yourself from the China vaccine.

 

[treesmith]

Why is my having a vaccine so important to folks who’ve had theirs? Literally no effect on them.

Does it list you shots you have had?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Oh...I dont need a passport to go to Canada.

So there's one.

 

[treesmith]

Passports, such as they are, have been around for years. Stupid, as far as I'm concerned. So long as you're a paid passenger, are not doing anything wrong, and reminding your own business, what do they care about your identity. Sakes alive, we have to tolerate these fools that can't tell from their anatomy which bathroom to use, and the airline is concerned that I might fly under the name of.....Jim Conrad? Those passports saved a lot of folks on 9/11, didn't they?

 

[Cobleskill]

We need a passport to get into Canada if and when they open up their border or an enhanced license which takes about the same requirements of a passport.

 

[treesmith]

Yet you need no ID at all to get into the U.S. if you just come illegally....plumb amazing...

 

[BlackSmith]

Or even voter ID or proof of life...

That’s racist or transphobic or something...

Was talking to a guy at work today. One of his friends died from covid last week, and the friend's wife a few days later. Bet they'd have liked the vaccine...

 

[FireFighterZero]

Since when do you need a passport?

Since the Covid?
