What are the chances of non fatal serious illness and disability ? YOU have not thought it through. Clearly not, unless you are naive enough to think that all Covid cases are recorded.

Bret the Hitman Hearts Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Against my better judgement I have had the two injections. However, the latter was only earlier this week so am I still going to be considered "fully vaccinated" for the purposes of getting in on Saturday? Or would i be better pulling the old "I am exempt" trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Be prepared to retry the sign up procedure multiple times, as I had problems with the facial recognition using both with my passport and driving licence. The latter eventually worked, but then it said it could not find a match for my details. I then retried that multiple times before it allowed me to complete the registration. I still don't have my QR code as it says it can take up to an hour after registration to update the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indianajones Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The vaccination passport was 'conspiracy nonsense' less than 6 months ago.

Fxxx the SPFL Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 1 hour ago, GinRummy said: That’s the thing though. When you look into it, it’s not really a fact at all. The data is sketchy as **** and includes terminally ill and people with long term chronic conditions. How many of those 4.791 million would have died within 12 months anyway? Impossible to tell, just as the figures are impossible to decipher. Correct I know of one died of natural causes but because they had tested positive for covid that went on death certificate we’ll never get a true figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Think I'll stick with the PDF version for now. Think the app needs a bit of bedding in time.

As others have said, it's also about how the infection is passed to more vulnerable group. The response from government has been patchy at best. Interesting to watch as previously celebrated ways of tackling the crisis by country have turned to abject failure through the lens of the media.

It's likely the security watermarks that are causing that. It also says I don't have an account, which I clearly do when I've got a certificate.
