EU Renews Digital Covid Pass Despite 99% Negative Public Feedback

The European Parliament has voted to renew the EU Digital Covid Certificate for another year

• The certificate regulation was originally adopted to facilitate safe travel between EU member states
• It quickly evolved into the model and sometimes infrastructure for the domestic "health" or Covid passes that would serve to restrict access to many other areas of social life over the following year

The Results

• Almost all the responses were negative
• The overwhelmingly negative tendency of the responses was indeed evident from the outset.
• I read hundreds of responses at random with my team. I did not find any in favor of extending the QR code [i.e. the digital certificate].

I am completely opposed to the establishment of this certificate given what is currently happening with the EU's disastrous handling of Covid...

• I want this cst [probably a reference to Belgium's "Covid Safe Ticket"] or vaccine passport simply to be eliminated... There are claims made in the draft document that are not scientifically supported.

The COVID certificate should be outlawed immediately.

• The current rules for holding a valid EU Digital Covid Certificate do not only discriminate against the unvaccinated but also against natural immunity, which is treated as more ephemeral than vaccine-induced immunity.
• Proof of completed primary vaccination makes a certificate valid for 270 days; proof of having received a booster dose confers unlimited validity for the moment.
• On the other hand, proof of "recovery" - with a positive PCR test being the only accepted proof - only confers 180 days of validity.
