I'm not pro- or anti-vaccine, I don't really care.

The only somewhat lasting side-effect that I've noticed after my second shot: I have a chronic sinusitis that is pretty treatment resistant (cortisone spray helps somewhat; a second, larger operation is an option), and it got significantly better the day after I got pfizer/biontech (first was AstraZeneca) and has stayed at a very manageable level since.

I have no clue whether there's a causal relationship, but if there is, I'm fine with getting booster shots.

> Younger age groups, black British ethnicities (compared with white people) and non-English speakers were more likely to express a lower inclination to get vaccinated if passports were introduced.

So many people say that voter ID is racist, but no one says that ID for anything else is racist. Why? Has the Twitterati not come to that consensus?

Off topic and different country, but voter ID laws in the US are racist because the Republicans implementing such laws are racist and are only doing so for their political benefit.

Voter ID legislation must be opposed in order to ensure fair and fortified elections, free from Republican meddling. I want an America where everybody has a voice.

I am vaccinated but didn't get a passport. In the EU there are QR codes to verify your status. I made a picture of it. If that isn't enough, I take my business elsewhere.

Not feeling too safe to have a picture of it on my smartphone (Android) and while this is an exaggerated fear, I will delete it as soon as the panic is over.
