Popular Post sawadee1947 Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 At present I'm on the road with my Hymer motorhome in Scandinavia. At the border from Sweden to Norway we had to show our EU wide barcode showing that we are fully vaccinated (Biontec). In case entering a restaurant same procedure. You show your phone with your personal code, they scan it and you are being seated. Very easy, very safe, very convenient. ???? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely understood... I think we all feel that way to some extent... However, I would give my jab away voluntarily to one of the front line health workers putting their life on the line every day... I don't enjoy restrictions but I will sit home a little longer. I have been told that is where our donation is going - I can only hope it is correct. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samtab Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 no problem, I just lie and pretend that I am vaccinated, as it changes nothing anyway, only idiots do not wear a mask when vaccinated, I wish them a very long and painful covid for being such idiots. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Dad Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I have no problem answering and would always answer truthfully. Sadly, as of today my answer is no, I'm registered on three websites, but still waiting. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almer Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 True storey. for my wife to attend and early hospital appointment we stayed in a hotel and called a taxi to go to hospital far easier than parking the car, when the taxi arrived the driver all officious asked if Falang had been vaccined, well about 2 days prior i had been stabbed by a mosquito and still had the mark to show, so after growling at him it was game on time, i pulled up my sleeve and showed him the red mark in exactly the spot a jab would be, he smiled, but now its my turn, have you the wife asks as he nervously shakes his head, so i tell him to P!ss off and we called another cab making sure this time we wouldnt have to put up with a jobs worth. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I was having a haircut the other day and I asked the hairdresser who I have know for 5 plus years if she has had the vaccination (small talk) she speaks limited English and she showed me her hand with 1 finger, fortunately not the middle one and said Sinovac, I said me no have, but waiting for Pfizer or Moderna. Also the local hardware store where they speak good English, I said how's business been with Covid and the wife showed me her hand to suggest business was in the middle, I then asked if they had been vaccinated, again (small talk) and they said they paid for Moderna and are waiting, what about you they asked, I said, same, also waiting if I can get Pfizer as I heard the US donated x amount but no see, and they looked at each other with a smile as if to say good luck with that one. So to answer your question, if someone asked me if I had been vaccinated, I wouldn't kill the cat because of it's curiosity, so to speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly easy to say Yes or No or It's none of your business. It certainly is the interlocutor’s business. One needs to know who to avoid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffr2 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 It's like a badge of honor to have the vaccine. And a badge of shame if you don't. Exception being countries without enough jabs. Or those who can't due to medical reasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2here Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I myself have no objection… that said, I also recognize that the whole C19 issue has (unfortunately) taken on a much larger political/social narrative beyond its classic medical reference, and as such the mere act of asking and/or answering can quickly morph into something that I feel shouldn’t be.. But, I recognize that theses are extraordinary times and as such, i can see a legitimate reason why this question, and it’s truthful answer is important… i don’t mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how suddenly you are afraid anyone will make you sick. It also seems like the vaccines are a lot less effective than we were promised so what will you now that vaccinated people are catching and spreading Covid? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paper mask will definitely keep everyone safe. Good work. Just would like to know how long a mask should be worn before it is considered ineffective. Is it 10 minutes? 1 hour? 1 day? How small of particles does it filter? Asking for a friend. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to know members of the EU gave up passports for vaccine passports in order to travel. Makes sense to me. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand that beeing vaccinated I’m not so concerned about getting sick it’s more about protecting others the mask even if contaminated will lessen the velocity of my breath therefore there’s less of a chance of getting others sick and just my little part in helping to put this behind us 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think just a "yes" or "no" answer is sufficient. I think you should be required to show proof of a vaccination. If anyone, I mean in small talk with people I know, ask me any questions about vacccines or anything else, I will answer them truthfully. Anyone else, to any question, vaccines or not, I will give them the answer that suits me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really understand why answering any question honestly is an issue. Would you answer all questions honestly if you were a self employed person working only for yourself, in the UK? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
