A couple of months ago, the German Health Ministry made a big deal out of digital Covid vaccination certificates.....'you-gotta-have-them'.
To assemble this into a useable format....they created a computer program, and basically gave it to pharmacies across Germany. You (the Covid-vaccinated-guy) would walk in with your health card and your shot record (indicating your vaccination), and they'd put the info in, and print out a bar-code deal....which you'd scan and have on your smart-phone.
Well...yesterday, that whole program was halted. Reason? I sat and watched N-TV (commercial news in Germany) and it's an interesting 'trick' which was demonstrated. Basically, with forged (fake) documentation.....the whole thing was rigged up, and you could have a fake digital certificate....in less than five minutes.
This got to the Health Ministry, and it appears that they freaked out.....ceasing the program until they can figure out how to get around the fake documentation issue.
As suggested....you can assume all of the 25-million certificates in the system presently....are legit. I laughed over the word 'assume'.
Will this force the Health Ministry to go back and review the 25-million already in the bucket? No one says that. I doubt if they really have the manpower or capability to do this.
The whole slant to eventually favor the vaccinated folks or the non-vaccinated folks? Maybe there's an agenda there, but you'd just build up enthusiasm for fake certificates somewhere else in the system.
As for the 'fix'? No one says much over how they can correct the certificate and bogus info problem. There's probably some geek-squad in a basement....working up some master plan....with the idea of rebuilding the whole database from scratch.
