apparently the LORDS in UK are worried UK criminals will try to steal the vaccine to sell on the streets
it's price is much more profitable than heroin and cocaine
🤣
can just imagine street dealers now
"brown, white, or i have this clear stuff now"
🤣
i mean, like any addict is giving a shit right now about scoring the vaccine
@ecksmc I think forged "I've had my shots" cards will be easier to do. That's not a good thing in any sense, but it's gonna happen.
@Urbankidx4 what cards ??
no such thing as far as i am aware
@Urbankidx4 america ??
no such thing happening in Scotland
it will go on our health records that's it
@ecksmc and apologies....that was the first link I found just now. There are better.
@ecksmc Here's a slightly better one from CNN:

@Urbankidx4 @ecksmc
Once everyone who wants a shot can get one, it’s just a waiting game until all the antivaxers have had it. Rich people might want to jump the line, but they aren’t going to waste money on something of uncertain provenance. They’ll call up people who can get it for them direct.
@EileenKCarpenter @ecksmc
BBC had a similar article a few days ago. I'll see if I can find that link.
no need
The UK Government is adamant that these will never be compulsory in Britain, nor will they be used as a gateway to access public services
Scotland won't have them either
anyway stoopid idea imo
@ecksmc @EileenKCarpenter and now I can't find the BBC article I was looking for. So I must back off that for now. My bad.
lol
you were right they are gonna be in uk just not compulsory to carry them
@ecksmc @Urbankidx4
You need them for international travel, like for Yellow Fever.
@ecksmc @EileenKCarpenter
Unfortunately, my original thought was not about compulsory use, but the revamped version of DDF (Drug, Disease Free) use on social engagement forums.
After people receive the first dose of the vaccine, they will be given a card showing the vaccine name, date and batch number.
It will also have a reminder of when you should go and have your second dose.
The cards will not contain any personal information. It is recommended that you keep it in your purse or wallet to show that you have been vaccinated.
you peaked my interest on this
"The UK Government is adamant that these will never be compulsory"
still stands though it won't be law that you have to carry them
and since they have no personal info it wouldn't matter
@ecksmc @EileenKCarpenter and...I agree. Dumb idea.
@EileenKCarpenter another customer for vaccine thieves would be the rich
there is a threat of real hardcore criminals stealing it or wanting to though
but if that happened it would be shipped abroad for sale not on UK streets and certainly not to drug addicts
