Imagine people being willing to spend their own money on fake documentation for a free vaccine.

I Bought a Fake COVID-19 Vaccine Card on Etsy

The ease of purchasing or fabricating vaccine cards may complicate the roll-out of vaccine verification efforts.

Imagine traveling out of the country with fake vaccine documentation and fake covid test results like these travelers just recently did. The irresponsible behavior by some people is really disconcerting. When our family came back from Florida we were not required to isolate but we did so until we got our negative results back because it was the right thing to do, given new research has shown that even vaccinated people can pass the delta strain. If people stop being so selfish we could together to defeat this virus.

2 travelers who used fake vaccine cards to enter Canada from U.S. fined nearly $16,000

I'm too old to be partying past midnight anyway. Nice evening meal and a few drinks and in bed for 11pm suits me to the ground.

If people quit being so selfish, we could defeat a lot of things.

I'm more hopeful on that one than I used to be, since selfishness is being exposed so badly in so many ways at the moment, but I think it's going to take a lot of rabble-rousing from the not-selfish crowd to get there.

The problem, as usual, will be getting the selfish people to continue the unselfish behavior. That requires changing the attitudes of enough people around them, at which point it becomes rational for selfish people to behave unselfishly.

Email off my doctors this morning offering my 17 year old the Pfizer jab next week.

Wonder how many 16/17 year olds take it up.

It won`t be the kids, it`ll be their nutty parents that put the mockers on it.

I know the kids don`t need permission off their parents to get it, but it still won`t stop some of the parents.
