This new technology provides a glimmer of hope for those hoping to see 1984-style totalarianism implemented in their life time.
This headline could've been a paraody a few years ago:

Orwell commented on new proposed ways of storing medical information that would primarily help people in third world countries that have poor medical record keeping?
Our current system of healthcare records that thousands of people and any possible hackers/data thieves have access to seem like a far less private way of storing information. Something like this would almost certainly only be optional even if it came to fruition and was used in America.
Why are people so petrified by anything having to do with vaccines?

Yeah, after reading that article, it's obvious the current system is far worse. Long paper trails are bad, longer digital trails are even worse. You don't even have to be present to be monitored.

Do you not see the potential implications of submitting to such a system? I agree vaccination record keeping is a mess, but a) is that actually a problem that's causing harm, and b) we're seeing 'the unvaccinated' being treated as second class citizens in many western countries, in some cases barred from entry unless proof is demonstrated. Do you really want private corporations (using both gov't and science as a proxy for policy) to be able to determine your eligibility to fit in with society? Mind you, the definition of fully vaccinated seems to be require continual boosters, and there's a lot of level-headed reasons why a person may be opposed to vaccination against COVIDy. If this is accepted, it can get way worse. Maybe our disagreement comes down to how maliciously these measures might be abused. I prefer a robust stance against that kind of stuff, personally.
Initially, yeah the idea of better record keeping is innocuous enough, but when coupled with exclusionary measures and coercive forces pressuring people into consuming products.. well it gets kind of nasty there, especially when considering the precedent it sets.
When I was a more organized and ambitious young man, I used to actually keep my vax card on me, with the history and everythigng in case I was hospitalized and needed it. I didn't mind that, but thought the record keeping by the state was pretty ghetto and was kind of annoyed with the burden of needing to carry a card for my own sake. But I was never coerced into being vaccinated, asked to prove my status in order to gain eligibility and the vaccines I'd taken had been around much longer and were a simple enough concept (dead or inactived virus as opposed to mRNA).

I had to show my vaccine QR code the other day to watch the new Bond movie in a theater . It wasn't worth the 5 minutes I spent looking through my iPhone to find it . On the other hand though I could reasonably assume there were no hardcore Holocaust denying Trump supporting election nutters in there and that was kind of comforting . It was like safe space .

So you support giving corporations/gov't the ability to filter out 'thought criminals' and require that you conform to their mandates, and you don't see how this might, at all, be an issue or a bad precedent to be setting? Not sure if satire.

The implications are talked about in the article, anything else is objectively just your own paranoia at this point. There are far easier ways to control the sheep if that's what you think the plan is, and most of them we submit to willingly.

In third world countries, yes obviously the lack of record keeping causes harm.
I don't care much about how private businesses choose to run their business as long as it doesn't cause harm to others. Not letting Johnny Freedom into your restaurant because he is statistically more likely to have and spread a deadly pandemic virus is not hurting him. If you can legally choose not to sell a cake to a gay person, you should be free to enact and enforce a simple public health requirement for your customers as well. As of right now I don't know anyone/anywhere that requires boosters, but like with every other vaccine we've all gotten (and in many cases been forced to get), the data will drive what counts as fully vaccinated.
You seem to be automatically assuming this technology will be some sort of authoritarian vaccine passport thing, but I just don't see any way that would legally become a thing... or any reason it would be prioritized by the powers that be over a simple smartphone app or piece or paper.

Do you not see what's going on in places like Australia or Europe? Even in the USA it's being pushed by the president and OSHA despite being shot down by the Feds. I'm not thinking this particular technology will take off, and phones make way more sense. I just thought the headline was comical. But we are undeniably discussing the mnove toward authoritarian vaccine passport things, and opposing it is viewed as extremist. Why not be more robust against an Orwellian state rather than less? It's not about paranoia, it's about avoiding being exploited down the road.
You can call it paranoia if you like, but I watched how 9/11 turned into a mass domestic surveillance program that will now likely never end. I don't want to submit my bodily autonomy to corporate controlled science / big pharma in order to participate in society, and vaccine passports are a confident stride in that direction. I see this more likely going bad than good.
Freedom always has a cost. Eroding it in the name of 'public safety' (which has been subject to extreme propaganda) is unwise. How safe do we need to be? The risk of death is always present and responses should be scaled accordingly. In addition, vaccine requirements have little logic behind them imo, as I'm discussing in the Coronavirus chat thread. Conceding to these requirements is crazy imo.

But these are opposites - one is freedom (to refuse an order) the other is loss of freedom (must now comply with the states health mandates).

Mandated vaccines aren't new, I've been getting them both due to private businesses requiring them for employment and for school for about a decade now along with tens of millions of other Americans. During a pandemic is the obvious time to add one to that list, and for many private institutions to adopt mandates for that specific pandemic virus. Anything can be a "slippery slope", that doesn't mean inaction is the better road as Occam's razor almost always applies, and a public health measure during a pandemic that's killed millions and is nowhere near over is just a public health measure.

Nope, one is just the kind of freedom that you don't like so you choose to irrationally argue against it.
In what world does it make sense to have the freedom to turn a customer away because of who they're sexually and/or emotionally attracted to, but not have the freedom to turn them away because they pose a greater risk to your health (and that of your staff and other customers)?

Those aren't mandates required by the state or federal government though, from what it sounds like, which is what I'm opposed to. You could also interpret Occam's razor to imply that inaction (simplest solution) may be optimal.
If you want to protect yourself, get vaccinated. I don't see the benefit in forcing everyone to do so, especially those that have already developed natural immunity and/or are not at risk of hospitalization. And if the mandate is not logically sound, of course it should be opposed.

No, they are opposite - one is the freedom to turn away a customer, the other is the state requiring all individuals be vaccinated. I'm ok with shop owners requiring proof if they choose to do so on their own accord, but I don't agree with the state mandating these requirements.

States enact vaccine mandates for schools and child care facilities, some states have mandates for healthcare workers as well. The feds enact mandates for the military and some federal workers, countries require proof of vaccination to enter. Nothing new at all.

Are we talking about reality or a hypothetical fantasy world you're creating? As far as I know in america the state does not require customers of a business to be vaccinated, the business does. Either you're agreeing that it's okay for gay people to be refused but those unwilling to comply with the business' health/safety policies should not be refused, or you're disagreeing with something that isn't happening and no one in this thread is making a case for.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I can't find the actual language of the mandate but it looks once they start enforcing it in a couple weeks they're allowing unvaccinated people to show a negative test result from the past 3 days and leaving exemptions up to the business' discretion. Not exactly a requirement to turn unvaccinated people away as you say, I think leaving the option open for testing instead of vaccination is fair, and it's pretty obvious how the exemption thing will play out.

Did you have a negative test result with you? If you did then it sounds like the business made a choice to turn you away 
By the exemption thing I mean those business owners who are against mandates will be liberal with allowing "religious and medical" exemptions. Some will do so very publicly and cash in on the publicity and gofundme money.

I didn't. The business had to turn me away. As I said, businesses are required to turn away people without proof of vaccination. Claim whatever semantic victory you want, but everything in that sentence is true.

It's not though, at all.
My school required vaccination or testing from Jan-March. I wasn't vaccinated until the end of January. I didn't stay home from school saying "My professor was required to turn me away", I got tested and I went to school...

Irrelevant. If two businesses each had to turn away a single person who didn't have proof of vaccination, my sentence is 100% true. I've already established that I was one person.... what is the likelihood that I'm the only one?

And I'm the one trying to claim a semantic victory?
My original statement was:
Quote:
the state does not require customers of a business to be vaccinated
Which is still true, even according to the city of LA's strict mandate.
You said you were turned away because you didn't have proof of vaccination.
The fact that you didn't have proof of vaccination is irrelevant because it's not even necessary for entrance. A negative test result or an exemption are just as valid as forms of entry as proof of vaccination. Whatever businesses are doing that extends beyond the mandate is their own choice.
Not saying that I agree with the LA mandate, but the fact that you can apparently get your nose swabbed twice a week and be immune to the mandate is a massive caveat to the "vaccination required" statement.
If businesses can legally allow someone who can't show proof of vaccination into their establishment, businesses are not required to turn away customers that can't show proof of vaccination... what is the likelihood that hasn't happened?

The bottom line is that there should be a federally-mandated forced vaccination program for anyone who is medically able to be vaccinated. Fuck religious exceptions. It's time to start strapping people down and injecting them.

It is new in that these vaccines don't provide sterilizing immunity, and may require a shot every 6 months to maintain effectiveness (which is unstudied as well, and it seems like risk of adverse events increase with each booster). It's not an apples to apples comparison when comparing this to say tetanus or some other traditional vaccine, this whole scenario is different in so many ways, and so are the mandates - mandating for private companies is on the table right now, and there's never been a faster transition from inception of vaccine to mandate.

You were using Occam's Razor to imply there isn't anything nefarious going on (by gov't, corps, etc), fair. I'm using it to imply the government should take a simpler stance and not mandate. Get if you want it.

feevers said: Do you genuinely believe that's the only reason that people get vaccinated?
There's literature to support natural immunity providing much better and longer lasting sterilizing immunity. In addition, there's evidence to support it's more robust against variants like Delta (and that's only logical, given that exposure to COVID exposes you to the whole virus, not just a spike protein based off the initial variant). It may then logically follow that if you're not at risk of hospitalization from COVID, it could be in the best interest of society that you choose the solution that maximizes sterilizing immunity. Sterilizing immunity prevents spread and saves lives, so if you're likely to not have a severe symptomatic reaction, perhaps it's best.
There's a lot of conflicting evidence in regards to how the vaccines prevent infection (not symptomatic infection) and transmission of the virus itself, especially in regards to the Delta variant. If that's the case, then yes you essentially are only helping yourself when getting vaccinated by reducing the odds and severity of symptomatic infection. What's wrong with this train of thought, to you?
I don't like that natural immunity isn't being treated as an option, and instead it's vaccination or nothing. What freaks me out the most though, is I've yet to see a consistent correlation between vaccination and case counts or hospitalizations dropping. It's reasonable for this to raise concern.

As far as I know in america the state does not require customers of a business to be vaccinated, the business does. Either you're agreeing that it's okay for gay people to be refused but those unwilling to comply with the business' health/safety policies should not be refused, or you're disagreeing with something that isn't happening and no one in this thread is making a case for.
It's not so much a fantasy world when the President and OSHA are actively pushing it, and many countries have already implemented it. But yes, I'm largely addressing what I feel like is on the menu and coming soon.
I agree businesses can decide to do what they want, but declining to bake a gay cake is different than requiring proof of medical records. The latter is certainly more invasive, for one.

Very few vaccines have sterilizing immunity.
As far as natural immunity being better, which you have determined by intuition, consider this. The people who had more severe Covid cases have more immunity than the people who had less severe cases. That doesn't sound like a plan.

I didn't determine it by intuition, but by supporting literature, as I said, see: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1
Could you provide a source to backup the claim "The people who had more severe Covid cases have more immunity than the people who had less severe cases". Not sure if you mean they simply produced more antibodies, which wouldn't be suprising, but these guys fade. So your statement doesn't necassarily imply that someone with a less severe case may be more inclined to have a more severe case later. I'm not sure why you'd think this would be the case logically either. Someone who got over with minimal trouble will likely get over it even easier next time.

From the anecdotal evidence here on the Shroomery the second infection has been generally worse, but that is because they had very mild cases the first time and the extra burden in the second infection is likely due to the stronger immune response your body has when you’ve had a previous exposure. Similar to how the second shot of the vaccine causes more side effects. Very likely someone who had a bad case the first time would have a mild case afterwards (if they survived)
My thinking on this is definitely influenced by how many people here have gotten covid twice and I’ve yet to see anyone vaccinated here say they got covid at all. Not a scientific study, but the fact that so many shroomerites report getting covid twice and none report getting it after being vaccinated can’t be ignored.

There’s another half dozen or so people who say they got it twice, most them after arguing that their natural immunity was superior to the vaccine 😂

Well, 'breakthrough infections' seem to be occurring enough for it to be a topic on the MSM channels. It is also possible that those with milder symptoms the first had a false positive the first time.. IDK either way though.

There are a lot of false positives when people are tested without symptoms, especially when they are in the same household with someone who has covid. You can get enough virus in your nose to test positive but not be infected.

Invisible ink to tell if someone has been vaccinated? So then the vaccine DOES stay inside your body forever???
People touting this vaccine are such oxymorons.
So does the vaccine stay in your body or does it digest its way out?? How does this invisible ink tell if someone is vaccinated?

If you actually read the article you'd see that it's not the ink itself that stays behind, the ink is a kind of gene therapy that alters your DNA in the area it's injected, which they can then scan peoples's arms to see whether they have the proper DNA or not. In most cases it only alters the DNA in the direct area it's injected and doesn't make it to the reproductive organs or brain.
