Flatulent Gannet Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Forgetting for a moment the rights and wrongs of the App, does anyone know if it caters for the third dose, and any subsequent boosters ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah can’t imagine that would ever happen. It is pretty funny. I'm opposed to vaccine passports for a few wider reasons but the one down here is so fucking easy to use. Even the necessary GP call I had to make only took 5 minutes and despite the notice it may take up to 5 days for the vaccine certificate to show it appeared instantaneously. Even then an LFT was sufficient as an alternative. So what about a Scottish club event at, say, Sub Club makes them more at risk from a Covid spread than the Warehouse Project which has 20 times as many people there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The Scottish government's own site says that any unticketed events in large open spaces do not require vaccine passports.They even used a firework display as a specific example of this.https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-certification-scheme-businesses-event-organisers/pages/events/Yes it seems the kickback against the organisers decision is well under way. Think both are run by the round table so perhaps using this as a convenient get out although no idea why.ETA one is Round Table the other is the Community Council.

I don't think I've seen more than a handful of comments anywhere in support of this. The only place where I’ve seen anyone defend this shite is on the Scotland sub on Reddit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 13 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Should someone who is susceptible to death via covid be put at more risk to participate in society? Someone who is susceptible to death via covid has already had two vaccines and will be getting a third soon. If you think me wearing a piece of cloth (not medical standard) on my face offers them any further protection that their 3 vaccines don't then I'm afraid the science your using is selective. We've already crippled the economy for the last 18 months and sacrificed a hell of a lot more to keep these people safe, if you're vulnerable and don't feel safe then I'm afraid that's a problem you need to deal with now, society has done all it can for you. Masks are as much use to preventing covid infection as taking a knee is for preventing racism. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Falkirk council pulling the same stunt yet Stirling council can go ahead with theirs.It seems this is the organisers decision here, nothing to do with the Council. One event was organised by the Round Table the other by the local Community council. In the face of a social media revolt both organisations are now giving the line "it's just not safe to organise large scale events yet". Both organisations are basically run by "senior citizens" who seem to think the days of mass outdoor events are over for ever.Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I've gotten as far as the verify identity bit, which is infuriatingly bad, it then failed.

Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk You’re probably correct here, albeit unusually. I am really sick to the back teeth of my fellow senior citizens who have become risk averse in the extreme. What they don’t realise is that they don’t have much time left and what they do have is there to be lived to the maximum, not hiding oneself away from their fellow humans, muzzled on a leash. Maybe a bit extreme but you get my point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
