Not vaccinated but need to show Covid pass...

118 replies

wineislife21 · 29/11/2021 20:28

Basically I need to show a covid pass to get into the venue of my works Xmas do.

I haven't been vaccinated but have seen I can get a negative PCR and still have a 'Covid pass' as such.

My question is does the Covid pass on the app appear as a PR code scrambled picture thingy whether it's a double jabbed pass or a negative PCR result?

Hope that makes sense.

@Finknottlesnewt

OP was asking a question about the Covid pass. What has your comment got to do with any of it?

This board is full of shouty, ranting people banging on about themselves even when its nothing to do with the thread

Yes, tests for everyone. I think it is dangerous to assume someone who is fully jabbed is 100% safe. I am due to meet with some friends who are fully jabbed for our xmas gathering. I am unvaccinated, yet seen as a massive risk (according to MN anyway). I am happy to do an LFT before meeting them. Will they be happy to do the same? Or assume they are ok due to being jabbed? I would feel safer if all of us got tested.

Sure, I think that's a very reasonable idea. Certainly until the number of infections fall considerably, you cannot assume anyone is free of infection.

Perhaps if your life had been put at risk by some selfish twat who wasn't vaccinated you would be a bit shouty too !

The OP wants a Covid pass so she can enjoy a works do.

Here's a plan. Get bloody vaccinated then your problem is solved. ! How dare someone who cares so little about their fellow man - be able to 'fix it' to enjoy herself ?

Vaccinated people cut transmission by 62 %.. (WHO stat from this October)

Finknottlesnewt · 01/12/2021 06:25

Seeing as I have never previously mentioned being hospitalised as have only recently returned home - 'my story' is pretty fucking consistent!

I caught Covid off of someone who CHOSE not to be vaccinated and continued to mingle with people in large crowded places. (Like the OP wishes to access) .. she then transmitted it to me in my own home. When my vaccine efficacy was already very low - having missed my booster due to another infection which I was hospitalised for..

Because I protect myself . I was not putting myself in the position of crowded spaces where these selfish idiots roam with impunity. I switched back to WFH/supermarket deliveries to keep as safe as possible until I had had the booster and it had had time to be effective .

So to give the impression that vaccinated and unvaccinated people catch Covid equally is simply not true. It is also a dangerous myth to perpetuate.

I do hope you’ve always done everything you can to not put others lives at risk.

You friend should have done an LFT, regardless of vaccination status before you came to visit you.

GodIsAVegan · 01/12/2021 06:31

*she came to visit you.

Am surprised that people have that much confidence in LFTs. DS had Covid and tested negative twice on LFTs. Only showed positive on a PCR.
I won't be mixing indoors with the unvaxxed LFT or not.

Thermalpants · 01/12/2021 09:25

@Finknottlesnewt you could have still caught it from her if she was double jabbed. I caught Covid and had symptoms despite being double jabbed. This thread is about how to add a test result to the Covid pass app.

TomelettewithGreggs · 01/12/2021 09:29

Actually this thread is about how to avoid vaccination for large gatherings.

Yes, her fault was not testing before she came to visit, not being vaccinated. She might have been infectious whether or not she was vaccinated.

I don't know why people keep saying LFTs are not accurate, the newer ones are much better. And some of them can be used with covid symptoms, it says on the box.

TomelettewithGreggs · 01/12/2021 10:12

Well, we have data on how accurate LFTs are, so we dont have to go by anecdotes.www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/how-likely-positive-lateral-flow-test-covid-19-be-wrong

And once again, the fact that the vaxxed are far less likely to transmit covid is obscured or lost. Yes, you can still catch Covid from a vaxxed person and many on here have. But far less likely. There's data on that too.

@milkyaqua

Well, that is because they are more likely to spread the virus than the vaccinated.

That you, Donald?

A recent study found that vaccinated people infected with the delta variant are 63 per cent less likely to infect than people who are unvaccinated. ...

What is important to realise, de Gier says, is that the full effect of vaccines on reducing transmission is even higher than 63 per cent, because most vaccinated people don’t become infected in the first place.

Why don’t you ask them? If they don’t want to do LFTs and you think they should, maybe reconsider how good friends they are.

If you are trying to make a wider point about the non vaccinated being unfairly demonised, then you’ve picked a bad example, because Boris announced that everyone should be doing lfts before going anywhere busy indoors. No discrimination against non vaxxed there.
