Personally I think it is unethical not to leak it. Technology is the best way to fight surveillance-oppression.
So you are saying we shouldn’t trust whether others have been vaccinated or not? Or should we fallback to paper cert?

At the moment you can still use the Estonian app to verify this ( https://kontroll.digilugu.ee ). Probably this specific cert will be revoked soon in all the apps. But the cat is out of the bag. Everyone's grandparents will need to do the certificate retrieval dance again, which is…
Very worrying if true
Leaked private keys are liberation.

Are you against speed limit enforcement too? Or is this a matter of degree and not pure principle?

It varies widely by country. From personal experience and what I've heard from relatives, at private venues: * Germany: usually quick glance at the QR code * France: usually properly scanned * Sweden: not even planned to be used * Italy: usually properly scanned
* England: what is even covid
Not endorsing it either way, just surprised how quickly everyone gave up on it here when places in Europe are still implementing passports and requiring scans to enter stores/restaurants.

Mostly yes. E.g. in Germany there’s often no speed limits. I also support laws like “you’re responsible for not speeding” so if you crash and hurt someone, you could be guilty, but not if you’re speeding on a completely straight & empty motorway.
We already have laws that make people responsible if they are speeding and crash and hurt someone, and people still do it. The problem with your logic of "there should be no rule unless someone does something to hurt someone" is that people are not always rational, and once someone is hurt or killed it is too late. It is better to try and discourage the behaviour that hurts someone before it happens, rather than after.
If you are wondering about Vaccine QR codes, see this article that explains how the "shc" (SMART Health Card) protocol is used to generate and decode the QR. https://marcan2020.medium.com/reversing-smart-health-cards-e...

it is illegal
It strikes me as one of those things that society is perfectly happy self-regulating
And as a famous example from across the pond, Elon Musk comes to mind.
