Ontarian here. I'm so fucking sick of vaccine passports. I'm supposed to enforce them at my job, but I've been slacking, and my boss is getting up my ass about it. I told him that I feel incredibly uncomfortable asking people for that information, and that it feels like an invasion of privacy, because, well, it is. He said, "yeah, but it's the law, so we have to do it." I don't give a shit if it's the law. Just because something is legal, does not mean that it's morally correct. I believe that people should have a fundamental right to privacy, especially regarding their medical information. The notion of vaccine passports flies in the face of that. No restaurant/bar/movie theatre should have any right to ask people for medical information, and decide whether or not they should be allowed to utilize their services. based on that information You either allow access to all, regardless of medical history, or you allow access to none. Makes me sick that we're supposed to discriminate based on this, and I'm expected to play gestapo. If Big Daddy Dougie wants gestapo so bad, then he should just hire actual gestapo, and quit expecting a poor bastard like me to do it. I actually have this theory though, that they're trying to make the shit jobs worse and worse to make people quit and suckle at the teet of the government. I don't know, guys. I'm just pissed off about all this, and any time I voice my concerns about the rights I feel are being violated I get hit with a, "but it's for public health!!!" At what point should public health take precedence over the rights of the individual? I don't know, I'm just some schmuck on the internet, but I feel as though a lot of personal rights have been violated in the name of "public health," over the past couple years, and even though it's all theatre, we're not allowed to question it. I'm just so tired. Sorry for the blog post.
tl;dr: fuck vaccine passports, and fuck Doug Ford
