THE STAR – Feb 16 – Samantha Yammine, a scientist who often talks on Twitter about health issues, says she's received messages about "dudes on dating apps claiming they're 'totally safe for close contact' because they have received the vaccine. "Basically, getting the vaccine is the hottest thing you could be doing on a dating app right now," said Michael Kaye, global communications manager for OkCupid. 43% of ~1,500 members of another site, Coffee Meets Bagel, said they were right now more attracted to someone who had been vaccinated. For university student Brittany Biggerstaff, people who say they are vaccinated are not more attractive because of the shot – but it does mean they have put their faith in science. "It gives insight on a potential partner's political views and knowledge about science and medicine," she said. Dawoon Kang, the co-founder of Coffee Meets Bagel, agrees.

Interesting idea. I saw a tweet about this idea to create a “VacciDate” type of website and I started to thinking about this. So I decided to create “ImVaxxed4Dating.com” a dating website for vaccinated singles. But it’s not ready to launch yet. The plan is to launch late Spring 2021 on May 11, 2021. Right now the website is being configured and that process will take several weeks, then testing, etc. No plans to make a mobile app, but the website will be configured as a Progressive Web App (PWA) with some initial functionality in this area.
