I have similar experiences. In Riga, Latvia in february i wasnt served a coffee when the cafe couldnt scan my vaccine passport (i took one j&j in july 2021 to be able to travel). Then i was thrown out of the Riga bus station because got a coffee from a machine and while was drinking it was not wearing the mandatory face mask. Then moving on to Estonia the covid pass was checked by normal bar people when wanted a meal and even when went to the cheapest bar in Tallinn (ufopubi) with all my personal details. Blatant human rights and privacy violations. Will not be forgotten or forgiven. If anyone says the Baltic states are fascist, they are not joking.

Thankfully where I live in Norway I never had to show any covid passport nor when I was in Sweden.

For some reason the nordic countries have been much more freedom minded the last few years than the rest of the world.

Here in the US we too in some states have been just as freedom minded and refused to bend the knee to the medical authoritarians. We don't take kindly to government telling us we must be drugged or that we're now operating under a nazi "papers please" like system,

It was pretty good in czech rep where i live after the new government took over in october.

In finland they tried covid pass for a week but was found unconstitutional. But they kept checking them at borders until this summer.

Sweden passed the covid IQ test with flying colours.

How on earth did they think you could drink a coffee WITH a mask on ?

I have just returned from a break in Venice where I was shocked to be made to wear a mask on the waterbus boats. Utter insanity.
