Sure - but if they really want to go their local bar, you can either expose your computer to dark web to buy a certificate, or just go and get a free shot…

Whilst your comment is factual, I think it doesn’t make sense in the context. The barrier to purchasing a certificate off the dark web is high and require a fair amount of financial and personal conviction / exposure…

You can also bribe a doctor/nurse to "vaccinate" you, no barrier here.
Again, this comment doesn’t make sense in the context either… I responded to the difficulty of conducting a transaction on the dark web - you respond with comparing the dark web to a persona bribe?! I don’t understand why people seem to throw logical debate out the window when it comes to covid… I get that for some people it’s a personal affront, but in my opinion that’s no excuse to just throw logical processing out the window.
My answer explained is: you were right the dark web is a high barrier, because there exist simple ways to overcome the certificate mandate - like bribery.
Why do you say "free shot", while side-effects (short and long term) can't be ruled out on an individual basis.
Neither can be death, hospitalization, or long covid...
According to our government 1/5000 gets a serious myocarditis infection. With two shots thats 1/2500.
