Q: My husband and I were planning on taking a trip to Istanbul, Turkey. We considered it as it is a Muslim dominant location and we wouldn’t have to worry about halal food and would get to visit mosques and for how beautiful it is. However there are two issues:
1. Turkey has a mandate of a travel insurance or health insurance in order to travel to Turkey without which they do not approve of the visa. What should be done in this case?
2. Back when covid was rampant and vaccination was being made compulsory, I have made a fake certificate. This was done because the vaccine was beeen given mandatorily without it being tested sufficiently. Many people did the same to avoid harm that could be caused due to the vaccine. Now mostly all countries do not require the vaccine certificate but they do sometimes ask for it. What should I do? I cannot get an actual vaccine because the system thinks I have had it already. Plus, post vaccination a lot of people have suffered and some say it is attributed to the vaccine and I don’t want to get vaccinated. Should I just show the fake certificate I have?
