Thanks for sharing, especially considering the risk.
One thing that I could see as a "positive" or at least a neutralizer, is that (as they say in data analysis) garbage in = garbage out, meaning that they can develop the most "ideal" app in the world, that's unhackable and always connected, but it would still ultimately rely on info. provided by the tens of thousands of nurses administering the shots. This allows for massive human error, among other things.
The more complex the app/certificate is, the more likely it will be impacted by fraud, data issues, incorrect entries, people paying off nurses to fake vaccination, etc.
Then there are issues on the "receiving" end. If 16 year olds can slip a bouncer $10 to drink at clubs, there will be many more cases of adults (who have more money than kids) doing the same to bypass the restrictions.
Ultimately, they can try to implement this thing, but I can guarantee that it will fail spectacularly in achieving its goals, over time.
There will be a scanner at the door that won't let you through without a working QR code.
There will also be an underground economy and social structure - which will be spectacularly cracked down on yet will continue anyway.
Yes it is guaranteed to ultimately fail, but it will be the sacrifice of many conscientious objectors and good people that re-establishes basic human rights, but it has to be done.
