Brilliant bit of anti-authoritarianism.
(plus, the fact they're so easy to forge is good too)
@lonelyllama Hmm? The size discourages people from carrying their vaccination cards. That's a good thing that has nothing to do with how easy they are to forge.
@pete @lonelyllama you can probably buy unfilled forms on the internet, if not the original, then probably Chinese-made. After my vaccination I noticed my name was spelled wrong, went back to the lady with the syringe, she just immediately wrote and gave me a new one. No serial number, no barcodes, no watermark on it... Ridiculous....
@121 @lonelyllama Why is that ridiculous? The purpose of that form is to record your medical history for _your_ benefit. Eg, knowing when you should get your next shot. There is absolutely no reason why it needs any security at all.
I've got an Ontario Vaccination Record myself with a half dozen vaccinations on it. It too, is just a piece of paper. It's for my benefit, to help remember what I'm up to date on.
@121 @lonelyllama Blank vaccination record forms should be available to anyone who wants one.
@pete @lonelyllama asking for a proof of vaccinations was/is quite common: if you want to enroll a child in a US school, if you are a foreigner applying to a US university. I dunno, I guess my European mindset wants a bunch of security features and stamps on a "document" 😀
@pete @lonelyllama you are right, it won't be ridiculous during normal times, but the talk of limiting movement and activities based on having or not having the proof of vaccination (I know that's a bad idea) is moot, if those are easily forgeable
