Today Biden realized my worst fear.. worst president in fucking history.. He just announced today a "vaccine passport" where it can be freely used to discriminate against you if you don't have one showing you got a COVID vaccination. This means jobs can fire you, businesses can require it to enter, and it can prevent you from flying.
In effect it now encourages and enables business and entities to discriminate based on an aspect of your medical records and effectively provides a means to circumvent existing laws that would otherwise protect your medical records.
To add insult to injury we arent even talking about a normal vaccine, we are talking about the first vaccine in US history that was allowed to completely bypass the last stage of safety tests, which give legal immunity for the companies so they can not be sued if people get sick from the vaccines. So in effect they have set up a situation where you are forced to take a drug that didnt pass full safety tests, against your will, and be excluded from the whole of society if you dont.
@freemo Having just received my second Pfizer vaccination yesterday morning, after my first one three weeks ago, I share many of your concerns (Interestingly, by way of an aside, why is the roll-out on this remote Greek island more efficient tha Germany or the UK?)

Ironically, Symi only had one case of confirmed Covid until ten days ago (a Belgian tourist last September), but now a local family is in quarantine and all contacts are being traced. How did this happen? Because a policeman illegally visited another island. And the vector of transmission? Basket ball!
