VACCINE PASSPORTS!

[Mme. Defarge]

I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore! And I’m prepared to boycott entering any public gathering place that does not require them.

1. Care to elaborate?

Unlikely there will be a Federal Passport, and most States won't provide them, so what are you going to do?

[Mme. Defarge]

2. Uh, thanks/merci!

I have updated my message which I wrote in my pre-coffee state here in the Left Coast.

[FBaggins]

3. Where did you get yours?

[Blues Heron]

5. they give you a card when you get the shot - like travel vaccines

Nothing new or out of the ordinary. Requiring it is another kettle of fish of course...

[FBaggins]

7. That wouldn't count as a "vaccine passport"

Too easy to copy and doesn’t prove that you are the person on the card.

[Blues Heron]

8. Its an official record - just like the yellow travel vaccine passports

You cant get into certain countries without the yellow card showing your vaccines. and yes, its a paper card. The trick is to put teeth into penalties for forging or selling or transferring your vaccine record.

They also have electronic records so that could be an avenue too.

[FBaggins]

13. It's an official record... but not one that proves the bearer has been vaccinated

That's the whole reason there is a debate about vaccine passports in the first place.

[Blues Heron]

14. well somehow its worked for international travel for decades

Maybe crosscheck the name with another ID like a drivers license? Or go electronic, whatever. we need to get a grip on this pandemic.

4. I would have ZERO issues with vaccine passports.

[Scrivener7]

6. Me too! I'd make a point of going to those places that require them.

[SKKY]

12. Yep! We would absolutely do that as well. My wife, our of-age son...

...and myself are all vaccinated. Yet, we still wear masks when indoors because, well, we're adults. And that's what adults do.

9. I think that a verified phone app would solve this.

Just sign up for an account and have your doctor or health care provider verify your vaccine status and then all places have to do is scan a barcode on your phone. No need to carry additional documents and it's harder to copy or forge.

10. We need vaccine passports and to exclude/shun assholes who refuse to be vaccinated

[fescuerescue]

11. I've yet to see any place that requires them.

Id pretty much have to boycott leaving home.

[BlueWavePsych]

15. I support vaccine passports!

[SYFROYH]

16. Which vaccines?

[Mme. Defarge]

17. Care to hazard a guess?

[SYFROYH]

18. No, there are a lot of vaccines out there that are important to public health.

This is your suggestion -- why don't you start naming them?

Or is it just one? Covid-19? Dying from the flu ok? How about measles? How about HPV?

Once we go down this road, it won't stop with Covid.

[BlueWavePsych]

19. Sounds good! Should have ALL of them on record for international travel.
