A database that lists who has been vaccinated? And ‘foreign governments’ having access? I’m missing ‘the issue’ here. Kind of like handing passports to ‘foreign governments’. Kind of like handing over drivers licenses over to car rentals? Kind of like handing over IDs over to airlines, bartenders (well that was a few years ago!). Kind of like handing the police driver’s license, insurance info, car registration. Kind of like…… den 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people who got vaccinated are perfectly OK with letting people know. It's not like we got injected with cooties. In this case, being willing to take the vaccine, even at an experimental stage, is a great act of public service and people should be proud that they are helping us beat this awful nightmare. Those who refuse, for whatever reason, are within their rights, I guess, but they should own that as well. I don't see any problem with a database that businesses can use to validate special access to vaccinated individuals. I know there are some with medical issues that preclude them from getting vaccinated, but for those who just don't want to for personal or political reasons, then, they should just live with that... it's a free country and they have the right to that decision. For the near-term being vaccinated may come with some additional privileges they won't realize, but... it's still their choice. Tom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted May 25, 2021 #132 Share Posted May 25, 2021 What medical issues preclude you from being vaccinated? The vaccines were made so everyone would be able to tolerate one of the types. My sister is a physician and would love to know the answer to this question. All of her patients have been advised to get the vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 26, 2021 #135 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Perhaps if there is a suspicion (for whatever reason) that a person’s documents are faked they should be challenged to open their official record. Refusal would then be a presumption that the documents are, indeed fake, and cause for removal from the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, the extent of the database would only need to be the following: Name:____________ DOB: __/__/____ Vaccinated? Yes or no. Vaccine type: _________________ Date of final dose: __/__/____ That's it. How the frik hard it that to maintain? NOTHING of value is being given out. You show your ID to prove you are who you say you are when you show up to board and they match the name and DOB. Good to go then.

Catherine Janaway Posted May 26, 2021 #143 Share Posted May 26, 2021 People have the right to choose, I have always believed that. Along with that choice there are consequences. I have had both of my vaccines, AstraZeneca and have done so firstly to protect myself and secondly to stop the spread. Those who refuse the vaccine obviously don't care if they, even in a small way, spread the virus. That is their choice but they have to face the consequences and that may mean no travel. If they then try and falsify the fact they haven't had the vaccine should face serious consequences IMHO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use a credit card, or a part of any loyalty program, or even going to social media or do hundreds of activities you are part of data basis.

I trust the federal government and its career employees long before I trust private sector companies and employees. Private sector is totally "for profit" and will sell any information on anyone, including their mothers, to make a buck. Federal database information is governed by laws protecting privacy and security of the data. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who refuse might have a medical reason to not get a vaccination. The consequences should be that they might get covid-19, not an external punishment. The consequences should not be no travel.

I am getting pretty frustrated by this argument apart from pregnancy please tell me the medical conditions that prevent the injection? Even if that is the case that still isn't a reason to falsify documents I am sure there would be exceptions if that was the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
