Officeworks has been forced to put up a sign telling customers they, in fact, can’t use printers to print out fake vaccination certificates.

A sign spotted at a Sydney store reminding customers they are not allowed to print false vaccination certificates has generated a buzz online.

“In line with our Print and Copy terms and conditions, our team are unable to print unauthorised vaccination certificates. Thank you for understanding,” the notice, posted toIt is unclear which Sydney store had an issue with customers using Officeworks printers to print fake certificates.The sign said it was against company policy to print fake vaccination certificates.

Software engineer Richard Nelson said digital versions of vaccination certificates would remain easy to fake until a digital signature was added, similar to what is being used for the European Union’s vaccine passports. This technology brings up a QR code on the person’s phone, which is scanned and verified by a service called the EU Gateway. The Gateway checks only that the signature is correct and doesn’t store any information about a person’s vaccination status. The only party that has access to the vaccination status is the country that issued the certificate.

Breaching the health order attracts a maximum penalty of imprisonment for six months and up to a $11,000 fine.

‘Do not consent’: Wild $25 anti-vax letterAn anti-vax group is selling “legal” letters that experts say carry no more weight than a note scrawled on a piece of paper to parents concerned about their children being vaccinated. The letters are legally worthless and worried parents are being treated like cash cows with people happy to take their money over fear, uncertainty and doubt. It's a business model, follow the money. Another level up of stupidity. Sad and angry at everything anti vaxxers. By all means report the news, but to then publish the letter, enabling the nut bags in our community to copy or reproduce the letter is encouraging this behaviours. That is appalling journalism.

Anti-vaxxer’s sad act before Covid deathAn Italian anti-vaxxer who tore off his oxygen mask and insisted he did not have the disease while being treated at a hospital, has died of Covid-19. Bullshit More fake bs by media Just leaving this here for the poor Sheeple who believe the scare tactics of the MSM. Ask yourself why would they spend so much effort on cherry picking these individual 'anti-vax' stories? Fear = control. Remember recovery was 98% with Delta before the vax.
