I don't fully understand the logic behind it. I suppose if someone was apprehensive about meeting face-to-face because they were clinically vulnerable, it would be reassuring to know their 'date' has been vaccinated - but (in the UK at least) vulnerable persons will most likely have received both jabs anyway. Maybe it is of potential reassurance to someone who is unable to have the vaccine for medical reasons (immune compromised etc). But wouldn't you just ask?

The goal will be money which is typically achieved on this type of app via "engagement". The logic is lets polarise everyone into two camps and get them arguing like Twitter or Facebook. So much of Tinder's reach out into the rest of the internet is people posting screenshots of awful profiles and 'witty' insults they've messaged to other people (deserving or not).

Yes, that makes sense.
It is rather divisive, publicly distinguishing those who've been vaxxed from those who haven't.

Although I would be unlikely to 'date' someone who had consciously refused the vaccine where they were eligible, there might be legitimate reasons why not (compromised immune system, history of anaphylactic shock etc). I reckon I would just ask them.

Met up with two or three women via online dating in the past three months and they each volunteered the fact that they'd been jabbed - it came up quite early in the phone call as, let's face it, the pandemic is an obvious topic of conversation right now! I think they were telling me they'd had the vaccine in order to reassure me that I was safe from them (I'd mentioned I'm clinically vulnerable), but really from my POV I was more concerned about their safety, particularly one lady who was in remission from breast cancer.

Equally, a passionate anti-vaxxer would be unlikely to get on with me as, like many on this thread, I feel quite strongly about them and couldn't contain myself from giving vent to my contempt and loathing... so it would save time to establish these things first, before wasting each others' time meeting up :D But there are other ways of finding out than having it publicly emblazoned on your dating profile, such as, er, talking to someone...

Imagine waiting at pub or cafe to meet your 'date' - and s/he rocks up wearing a yellow star with "I do not consent" in the middle, written in that faux-Hebrew lettering that the Nazis used? :eek::confused::mad:

The most frightening thing about the anti-vaxince and covid denial movement though is just how big they have grown over the past 16 months since the pandemic started! This time last year they were still struggling to get 200 protesters to turn out in central London. And their rallies in other cities were only around 30 to 50 people. The towards the end of August last year they were getting up to several thousand people at their rallies in central London and other cities. Now in the past two months they have been able to mobilise tens of thousands of people in central London and many thousands in other UK cities. There is a real danger that they will succeed in derailing the battle to defeat the covid 19 pandemic, which could result in a third wave of the virus. The authorities should be taking the threat posed by the covid 19 conspiracy theory movement very seriously indeed.

Are you an anti-vaxxer? Not having a go, happy to debate the issue with you in a polite way.

But look how glowy those properly breathing people are.

That 70% figure is interesting* - back of envelope calculation seems to me that a person excretes about 600g of CO2 via the lungs per day. If we allow that defecation is egestion not excretion, that implies that there’s only 180g of other excretion going on - primarily urine (secondarily sweat). Google tells me that average urine production is 800 to 2000ml/day, weighing (near as dammit) 800g to 2kg. I don’t think it stacks up. Surprising no-one.

* For a loose definition of interesting.
