Curious, so if vaccination status is pretty much stored and converted within the QR code itself (no connection required to any database), I assume one would be given a different QR code after each actual vaccination.
Meaning if someone was vaccinated once, they would be generated a second QR code for usage after the initial first vaccination code?

Didn't the QR Code thing start today?
Met a client for lunch, not asked to produce anything. Honestly don't really care just thought it was weird.

Client and I had to show proof of vaccination at lunch today. We didn’t have to show ID though and anyone could share a pic of their QR code..

What happens if businesses don’t enforce the vaccination card?

Just had lunch at a sushi joint, they scanned the QR Code but didn't ask for ID either.
I guess if your card says Bob Smith but you're Asian, or if the card Karen Wong but you're a big black dude, that's when they start?

A $2300 fine for restaurant owners. The next question would be is the government doing random checks?

Was J&J ever offered here? I thought they prioritized rural communities for that because it was a 1-dose affair.

It was never offered here. It got emergency approval, but then the manufacturer fucked it all up in the eastern US, and no orders were filled. I believe they pulled the approval after that.

From what I read on CBC they are supposed to check your ID if you are 19+ along with QR code

Just got back from doing laundry at the Villa. Took longer than normal 'cause their wifi sucks balls and cell reception is poor. Finally got the vaccinated thing to show up. They don't have a scanner so i also had to dig out photo ID.
There must be an easier way. It's the first day, so they weren't prepared. I actually used the photo on my digital Services Card.

If poor choices are enough to expect people to pay for their own medical expenses, imagine all the people we could exclude: the obese, smokers, alcoholics, addicts, extreme sports participants, etc. They should pay their own costs too? Do we get to withhold treatment until they agree to pay? How does this new healthcare system work?

Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk | It’s not an exemption from non essential services. It’s an exemption from services that pertain to high transmission social environments. It’s not essential to go to holt renfrew but you don’t need a vax pass. It’s about transmission levels.
