Technical issues aside, the EU Green pass is a gigantic success. Super easy travel across Europe and all other participating countries.

So... from just driving across the border, it's got "super easy", by having to stop at every border crossing, "papers please", and "medical papers please"? I've traveled through the balkan in the 90s, and it was easier then, than now. And even during the war times, the travel was more consistent, and I didn't have to check the border crossing rules every day, because they didn't change that often.

This is not meant to be a "forever" state of things, hopefully we'll go back to basic Schengen rules when the emergency subsides. Sadly the virus is what it is, and compartimentalising systems as much as possible is necessary to fight it.

>By generating Adolf Hitlers GreenPass .. TBH that is pretty hitlarious :) Though it could get you in trouble in Austria and Germany.

I think that the point – to show that the certificate system is about total nazi style control.

I think you're wrong here. They're not showing any Nazi style control, just hackers often display their results in ways that are edgy in order to draw attention to themselves from the mainstream media.

>limit the movement of people based on medical status That's literally the idea behind fighting contagious diseases, widely used to defend islands and castles before the vaccines. People used to wait in ships for weeks before they can embark. We used to have castles insulated to keep an outbreak out of it's population. Through the history of humanity, countless people were lost to contagious diseases. The Green Pass…

When are the participating countries going to get rid of it? When is the pandemic over?

The virus didn't gave us an ETA of its demise. It will probably stay longer than ideal since not every country in the Europe has high vaccination rates as Portugal.

It's seriously puzzling to see he immense belief in the governments power. How on earth one can demand a specific day for removal of management tools against the natural processes?

If transmission rates stay under 1 over the winter, I would expect (hope) next summer we can kill it for good.

Not gonna happen, sadly, as long as there are irresponsible neighbours like the UK, where I sadly happen to live (for my sins).

"Super easy travel" is not how I would describe an application designed to ease the limiting of movement of people based on medical status.

It doesn't limit travel - those decisions are still made by each country individually with some guidance from the EU. The EU does not have control over what COVID entry requirements a country sets, beyond making recommendations. All the document and its regulation do is say, "if you impose entry requirements based on vaccination / testing / recovery, you must accept at least these types of vaccines / tests / recovery…

Sure. I've edited my comment to indicate that the application "eases" the limiting of movement of people within the EU. It serves no other purpose.

The balkans also didn't have a dangerous pandemic in the 90s. Ignoring this little fact is outrageously dishonest.

Oh yes, surely nothing more dangerous than a pandemic was happening in the balkans in the 90s, that would make border crossings problematic at the time.

Well, they could have chosen the name of EU president or some head of the state, or Jesus. This one is selected with a message on top of all this attention seeking.

Yeah, war is terrible but it ain't contagious.

It's not like there's not covid on the other side of the border too.
