Consider: if you have some deep set anti-science/anti-government beliefs, and the government says you can’t go into any restaurants unless you submit some science card to them, do you abandon your deep set fears and have yourself injected, or do you search up “print vaccine card” and hit Cmd+P?
I'd still say: There isn't much use in the proofing system. Just do vaccinations Israel-style. I.e. have the option to get vaccinated literally everywhere and without our "but you need an appointment" and "but your last dose needs to be 6 month ago" (the latter is getting better).
In Germany, stores and restaurants do check the ID now as well as actually scan the certificate - it took a couple of weeks and a bunch of fines being handed out, though.
> And even if the ID were to be checked, all you need to find is one doctor or pharmacist, that is willing to misread your yellow book (WHO vaccination booklet).
The amount of doctors or pharmacists willing to risk their license and imprisonment is thankfully extremely low - the overwhelming majority follows the rules and calls the police upon discovery of fake WHO booklet entries (see e.g. https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rheinland/gefaelschte-Impfau...).

The Israel-style vaccination system is clearly better than what is available in most Western countries, but it relies on a population that sees getting vaccinated and protecting themselves as a patriotic duty (with the notable exception of the Ultra-orthodox Jews). Offering easy access to vaccinations doesn't help against widespread propaganda or, as we see in Germany, myths of "vaccination dictatorship", "mind control" and other similar bollocks.
Depends on the country. France doesn't usually check the ID when they scan the QR codes. Switzerland more often than not does, at least in the German speaking part of the country where I live.
2. Its crazy to me that one of the things coming out of all of this is that we should get rid of quarantining. I wish the conclusion people came to was "wow, we should definitely have people quarantine when theyre sick instead of going to work and getting coworkers sick"
There is nothing, NOTHING, humanity agrees on. No way in hell would you get 200 odd governments to 'conspire' against you.
But to be honest, when you see what some people believe and how gullible some can be, you won’t get surprised if someone actually claims that these happened and a significant number of people believe it. It’s scary.
No idea if it is realistic though, that fentanyl pile on the left looks like you could tranquilize a herd of elephants with it.
