Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He sold his vax credentials to other people? Don't they have personal identifying information on them? linked to his name and identity? How can you give your own vaccine card to someone else?

Here in France it was just a qr code in an app, you don't get a picture of the person when you scan it, so basically sharing a screenshot of the qr code would have been enough to fool most restaurants, bars and such, because nobody bothered to ask for ID.

The vax passport is just a small yellow booklet and if you lose yours, you just get a new one from the doctor. You just sign your name and that's it. It would be pretty trivial to swap pages or maybe just write a different name on the cover.
