Possibly a more general reference to overall vaccination records rather than a "passport" as such ... When I was kid in the US to attend school, I was required to have DPT, Mumps, Rubella vaccinations. And when serving in the USAF had to get Typhoid vacc. also. (side effects of that SUCK!).

The app was used here in France. The requirement was either the App containing proof of vaccination (and boosters), or the paper equivalent. The point is that such things are POSSIBLE and could potentially be used for more "nefarious" purposes by the government in any country.

not been back since a brief business trip for 2 days in 2010, and before than from Dec 1989 to April 1990 (USAF Basic training and tech school), and May 1993 to July 1995 (stationed in Maryland)... never want to step foot in the US again.

he would have been 341'd and recycled to his mommy's uterus for that "display" of a "salute" if he were in USAF basic training back when I went through it in 1989...

Actually, King Charles does have some significant power afforded to him by the constitution, but since Queen Victoria, that power has never been abused... nor should it ever...

Dumpy doesn't know what a Constitutional Monarchy is anyway... UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Japan, Monaco (though that's a Principality), etc. etc. He only thinks in terms of Saudi Arabia, N. Korea, etc.

I had previously mentioned that their "parade and drill" skills were worse than my Civil Air Patrol cadets (middle school kids) when I was active-duty USAF in 1994! Either military basic training has gone way down hill over the years, or those guys REALLY didn't want to be there.

Thanks! but just to be clear .. France isn't Utopia. While medical expenses are nowhere near as expensive as in the US (and I'm American, been there, done that), don't let anyone tell you that it's "free" here either. Social security pays a small bit, but without insurance, you're bankrupt.

I am 100% with you on this. Dumpy is the singe-handedly responsible for the deaths of more American civilians than any president since .... well... a LONG time ago...

I agree entirely that the Dumpy "administration" totally dropped the ball ... and Dumpy 2.0 is proof that dropping the ball is "par for the course" as long as the grift is griftier for him and his billionaire buddies.

at the time of COVID restrictions here in France, the Police were authorised to spot-check anyone, on a cafe terrace, or just walking around in public, for their COVID vaccination status using the "TAC VERIF" application (which I had to use in the company for my employees). Fines were possible.

I am not disputing your comment here. What I am saying is that in some countries it WAS mandated. (e.g. here in France), and since it has been done before, there is nothing to stop a rogue administration from doing it again for purely political reasons.
comment in response to

In short, my point is that it would be trivial for any regime to start mandating a "vaccination passport" for malign purposes, since it has already been done before for purely public health reasons.

at the time, when I was a senior manager in the company I worked at, I had to use another application to verify my employees' vaccination status by scanning THEIR QR code before they could enter the premises....

it is no longer required now ... it was during COVID, until shortly after ...

It was required in France (either the application, or paper proof of vaccination status) to enter public locations during COVID.
comment in response to
post
either the app, or paper equivalent of vaccination status - which also had a QR code that was scanned to be able to enter.
comment in response to

Nope, not bullshit… this app contained COVID vaccination status and was required to go in most public places…
comment in response to

yea, I know... but I'm American .. so ... it sorta fits
comment in response to
post
When you had to show proof of vaccines, especially during COVID, through an application with a QR code just to enter a public space (and that QR code contains not only the vaccination status, but could very well include other personal data).. .it was exactly a "vaccine passport"

you obviously didn't live in France in the last months of COVID then ...
comment in response to

We had that here ... an app that had to prove that we were fully vaccinated in the latter months of COVID ...

What is missing from his quote is that he was the bottom of his class in 8th grade, and after the heroin, he was top of his 2nd grade class.

Leads me to think that the quality of military discipline training in the forces has severely degraded since 1989 to 1995 when I served in the USAF, or these guys are just being deliberately sloppy to spite the wannabe-dick-tator-tot

I must admit that they all seem to be marching since they've not done drill since basic training.... I taught my cadets in the Civil Air Patrol better than that !
