How to identify Covid-19 Vaccinated and Unvaccinated person in NSW, Australia
The Premier of NSW has announced this morning(18Oct2021) that Covid-19 vaccinated people need NOT wear the mask anymore. But the unvaccinated people need to wear the mask. This is just one of the many privileges given to vaccinated people. I am neither a supporter nor against vaccination, but the divide due to such distinct privileges worries me.
So what is the problem?
I am particularly worried about the mask rule. This allows clear identification of who is vaccinated and who is not. The problem is the environment of the divide. It also increases the probability of aggression from one set of people to the other one. Last but not the least, the added danger to unvaccinated people is in case they ditch the mask to avoid being identified as unvaccinated.
People are already exploiting the loopholes in the system to enjoy a similar level of freedom. The vaccine passports were selling online as the wrongdoers exploited multiple loopholes in the system.
