Covid Bracelets. I just ordered two. They show you were

[patricia92243]

vaccinated. Ordered mine from Amazon.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

1. How does Amazon verify the vaccinations?

Otherwise any random person can order one.

[patricia92243]

3. Good point. I don't know unless they just figure the unvaccinated

would not spend the money.

[Treefrog]

12. And why two?

Will you wear one on each wrist?

[patricia92243]

17. lol - hubby to wear the second one :)

[UTUSN]

18. Like military medals - sold to anybody

My avatar is a lapel pin. Post office sells Purple Heart stamps, which a clerk offered me and i was shocked at and refused. I wear the things I'm qualified for.

Unqualified people exist but i dont think any of these items are seen as official.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

20. I can see companies that have vaxx requirements buying in bulk

Then issueing to employees once they've verified - for wearing at work.

[UTUSN]

23. That scenario would be a company ID good only for access to the premises.

I guess employees might wear them elsewhere or company could prohibit. But elsewhere would reduce them to the unofficial status.

2. Just what's needed. I'm sure the antivaxed will be ordering them.

I don’t think this type medical identification should be sold on the market. MAYBE if you have to prove you were vaccinated then possibly ok.

[Treefrog]

7. I agree. This is mind-boggling.

Someone had a great idea to make money though!

This is not directed at the op, who means well I’m sure, but PT Barnum nailed it.

[ZonkerHarris]

15. I'm not sure many of the unvaxxed I have seen would wear those. They take pride in their antivaxism

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. For what?

[Goonch]

5. Really real..🤭.....

[ret5hd]

6. Official!!! That's gotta be worth somethin'!

[Beachnutt]

8. RUN, It's the mark o the beast...

thats what the loonie rethug evangelicals will say.

[Tikki]

9. I see some 'I am Vaccinated' t shirts out and about.

I don't see much difference between a t shirt and a bracelet.
If it makes you feel comfortable in your decision to vaccinate then go for it.
I am still going to wear a mask around just everybody out in public.

29. I got a 'I'm vaxxed' T-shirt months ago

before all the raging opposition. It's a good thing, to show you're aware and compliant- it's not supposed to be official. Lighten up people!

[brooklynite]

10. Why?

You could stick a piece of paper that says "I'm vaccinated" on your chest and have the same authority and effectiveness.

[Treefrog]

11. Lol.

Exactly.

[ZonkerHarris]

16. style and fashion are lost on some people.

[left-of-center2012]

13. I saw a T-shrt that read "I am a virgin"

Underneath, in smaller print, it said "This is an old t-shirt"

[boston bean]

26. Haha

[left-of-center2012]

14. I doubt any place that requires proof of vaccination would accept that.

[jcgoldie]

19. They take that bindle app and thats just your word basically

I mean you can upload a picture of your card but I dont think its even required.

[USALiberal]

21. How is that proof?? Nt

[BumRushDaShow]

22. I stumbled on an article from May about a company that makes what they call

an "ImmunaBand" - https://www.fox5vegas.com/these-new-wristbands-are-a-wearable-way-to-prove-youre-vaccinated/article_2e35a4c1-2f0a-5aa9-b865-d87d11bb5bfa.html

So how does it work? Wearers have to upload their vaccination cards for review before they can receive the band. The documentation is stored on a server compliant with medical privacy laws and the process is end-to-end encrypted, the company said in a news release.

The company makes two bands -- one with just the QR code, and another with the QR code plus the wearer's name and type of vaccine they received. The bands are both priced at $19.99. That code can be scanned with a smartphone to prove vaccination, the company said.

It gets customized to include a QR code with your vaccine info on it and is apparently even being used here at restaurants in Philly - https://6abc.com/covid-vaccine-proof-immunaband-el-merkury-food-reading-terminal-philadelphia/10560420/

Of course that stipulation of having your vax records stored on a 3rd party server is concerning. But then a "generic" one is... well...

[Maru Kitteh]

24. Thanks for that link! Those are pretty cool. I might get one

[BumRushDaShow]

28. You are welcome!

I wouldn't be surprised if that type of tech ends up being adapted by state governments. The last time I was at Disney World was 1975 (!!! ), but if I'm not mistaken, they use bracelets like that now for admission (although I think theirs are actual (programmable) RF chips like the federal HSPD-12 PIV card I had for accessing my worksite and computer network before I retired).

[pwb]

25. I am not much for wearing how I feel about anything.

Things that invite comment or defense I am too old for now. I am fine with people guessing about me if they are fine with it. I know.

[FakeNoose]

27. I'll keep wearing my mask for now, a bracelet isn't needed

Most of my friends (and family) already know I'm vaccinated.
I don't feel a need to announce it to anyone else.

[left-of-center2012]

30. So if a place demands proof of vaccination, you show them your bracelet

"Looky here - I got me this nifty bracelet from Amazon."

"Well okay then ... Come on in.""
