Israel has done it: Freedom Badges for the vaccinated

[ragged]

Green badges, let you go to restaurants, synagogues, swimming pools, shopping malls, etc.

I can't tell if the unvaxxed would be allowed to go to supermarket or send their kids to school.

I'm not wearing a fucking badge or having an app on my phone - I've had the vaccine, but none of my local friends and family or colleagues have - not their fault they don't have any health issues on the list and that they are relatively young.

Who the fuck am I going to hang out with at all these place that I will be allowed to go? Everyone else there will be 30 years older than me

Wow. Israel has upped the stakes. List of those not vaccindated so they can be "personally addressed" to try to persuade them to get jab. Does this amount to a public 'Named and Shamed' register?

Jesus Christ.

That is shocking.

Backwards.

No doubt that some MNetters would love to see that here. I find this VERY concerning.

It's already here. GPs are to check on all their registered patients who are not recorded as vaccinated once their category should have been completed, to establish why and to remove barriers wherever possible

Wasn't there talk of Local Authorities being given lists so they could go door to door to persuade anyone who had refused?

Mark Harper pointed out that the government was trying to get retrospective permission for sharing personal health data with the police. Is this sort of thing the reason why I wonder?

Yet they still have to wear masks.

@bluetongue

What’s to stop you borrowing a badge from a vaccinated friend or buying a copy on the black market?

What the actual fuck? Sorry for the language but that's outrageous.

I actually gasped in horror after reading that. Absolutely dreadful. Speechless.

What???!!!

Why do they still have to wear masks? I don't like the sound of this at all. It's all very controlling.

I'm not one for badges (which could be shared amongst family for example), but there does need to be some form of document that demonstrates vaccination, as I am sure some countries will not accept you as a visitor without it.
