It loathes me to contribute to a COVID thread, but...

I think it's fair to say that the pandemic has been misunderstood and mismanaged at various stages as doctors, scientists, law makers and governments have all grappled with limited information, new data and a seemingly ever-changing disease. I appreciate that they have (mostly/possibly) done what they thought was the best with the info they had at the time.

However, it blows me away that in 2021/22 governments are just issuing pieces of paper as evidence of vaccination status. Why they are not using blockchain technology seems daft to me - secure and can easily store sufficient information to prove vaccination status anywhere in the world (and Courtney's post, and this thread, might not exist!).

Maybe someone more technologically-minded can explain why governments aren't using blockchain for vaccination cards?

Cheers

interesting. So who is "media" or a "journalist" that covers our sport? Genuinely asking as I don't think I've ever read anyone from Vital specifically decline the "journalist" title. I suppose as one of the guys interviewing riders post-race and inquiring about things for their feedback, I would have certainly called you JOURNALIST.

Anyone can label themselves whatever they want. It's up to you to relate that to what matters in your opinion.

Clearly you educated yourself on how vaccines work.
1. It isn't supposed to be a cure-all
2. It is very similar to the flu shot (which...as we should know...doesn't cure/end the flu)
3. It lowers your chance of hospitalization (this is a statistically proven FACT.)

So yea...I'll get the vaccine and booster so I don't end up in the ICU.

Technically no one is required to because it is not law.

So the way it apparently is.
If your vaxxed u get a credentials card that gets u into every race.
If your not vaxed u have to covid test b4 every round and u get an arm band for that weekend.
Ppl have been using fake vax card to get the ama card so they don't have to test every week.

I didn't read the entire 5 pages of this thread, but I can tell you that all supercross crew and administrative staff have to submit vaccination cards to Feld - I had to. Feld is also limiting the amount of support staff in the pits.

Here's the thing about fake cards - The State of California maintains a database on all vaccinations given in the state, so If a person claims to have been vaccinated in CA, they can look it up in the database to verify it.

I have the official CA virtual card in my iPhone's wallet showing date and location of vaccination.

Yes. If Feld runs the lot numbers on the fake cards, they will find out who is using a fake card. At UPenn Hospital, we upload our lot numbers and they were verified.

There is no database linking your name to that lot number, but they can assure it is a real lot number, was a lot number used at that location and that time frame, and has not been associated with fake cards.

Penalty for making or knowingly buying one is up to 5 years in jail.

The no-testing for vaccinated people does not really make sense, though. We know that, with Omicron, vaccinated people, although less likely, still have significant chances of infection. There is no good data to suggest vaccinated people should not be tested in this circumstance. So it appears that an unjustified rule has resulted in people lying, which is not surprising.

Which is a ridiculous penalty.

Geezus…we can’t have nice things around here lately. As I’ve been staying over and over lately, non-moto for COVID discussion. A bunch of you instantly take these things as an opportunity to argue Covid stats. Going to do some cleanup in here.

For those who have directly said something shitty about Roczen’s wife, you’ll find your accounts locked for now. There was about three of you who took it way too far. Personal attacks are unnecessary on a forum. Hope it helped your ego or something…

To put it simply, yes, there’s a bunch of riders and industry members who have gotten fake vaccine cards so they can enter each event without testing. Most have done this purely for convenience reasons. For the riders however, I feel bad. Most want the fake card so they won’t get booted from a race for possibly testing positive on a test with either minor to no symptoms or possibly even an illness that isn’t even Covid. However, some riders are trying to follow the rules and keep their moral compass by testing each week and ultimately could find themselves pulled from a race for testing positive while the guy they’re battling in points, maybe even the title would’ve tested positive too if he wasn’t skirting the rules with the fake card.

I think at the end of the day most in this industry are past the whosnright or wrong in this whole Covid mess, it’s just down to the races could be decided by someone’s moral decisions off track, nothing to do with their on track performance. And that’s a bummer. Not saying either is right or wrong, the whole situation just sucks now…

Do you have evidence that this is happening Michael? If so, then you should report it to the governing bodies and probably on a Vital article. What you're claiming would have a huge impact on the series if it includes top riders. Nobody is past right or wrong if there are rules for the races.

If you know this is happening then name names

It's one thing for a civilian to make wild unsubstantiated claims accusing a broad swath of people without naming names. It's different for a journalist.

why is he the worst type. Stick/ball sports media has covered extensively the vax story as well as vax cards (and fake ones). Because they are JOURNALISTS covering a sport. We are supposed to have JOURNALISTS covering our sport, but we rarely get actual news/controversy/stories that aren't approved and practically written by internal PR departments.

Taking some of the healthiest athletes on earth and clutching our pearls over something that they literally have a .005% of dying from is just a continuation of the stupidity of this entire chapter of history - a chapter we will be mocked over for generations.

.005 % of dying yet my wife is stacking bodies in a reefer truck at an ICU unit. Makes no sense to me... Healthy dudes that are 50 come in and end up dead. My friends 28 year old brother died (all un-vaccinated people btw). The 28 year olds dad is 55 and now uses a walker and on oxygen 24/7 after he survived. We had played golf like 3 months ago. My friends 45 year old mother died. IDK maybe it's just not effecting your circle yet?

I agree healthy adults are lower percentage of deaths but just to dismiss this entire thing is crazy. I guess I'm in the minority here though.

Another angle that makes this whole thing even more ugly, their god-given natural immune systems. Pretty much everybody has had one flavor or another of Covid by now (some have had it at least twice). Their natural immunity has been given the information just like the vaccination does. If you truly want to make this right in terms of requirements (vaccinations, etc.), folks who have had it, and built immunity, should be in the same boat as anybody else who is vaccinated... Their immunity is close to zero difference. It is like the entire world has been tricked into thinking they have somehow lost their natural immune systems and can't live without a vaccination.

These riders are in airports, hotels, etc. every week. Chances are good they have pretty much all had it by now. It is complete BS to look at it as vaxed or not, there is a HUGE gray area, that has been there since the beginning of mankind, and is still working today regardless of what you may see on TV.

Personally, I would understand vaccination requirements if the vaccination was curing a disease. But we know that is not the case, and never will be, so for us to continue to carry on with division and requirements, is bizarre.
