look, surly would consider me a libtard, but i was more poking fun at the moving of goal post with yearly lockdowns for flu vs just saying get vaxxed. As time goes by and the vax is available to just about everyone, i start to lean to the yolo side of covid control. should people who can get the vax and don't be mocked and made to feel bad? Sure. Should the gov require/request mask mandates continue until we reach some magical % of Americans vaxed? No.
I don't have a strong opinion on vax passport either. I have the vax. CVS knows i have the vax and that I like to also purchase chocolate everytime i am in the store. I am cool with that. the gov has my name, rank and serial number. how much i (legally) make. They could get a warrant for my phone and track me all over the country. Companies can run a credit check on me and decide whether to or how they do bidness with me.
Why can't businesses ask if i have been vaxed? People were cool with answering questions like "have you been in contact with a C19 case in the last x days", "have you had a fever lately", "have you tested positive for covid" to do all sorts of stuff like enter buildings, fly, travel, even get a vaccine. Why were people not refusing to answer those invasive medical questions. well now there can be one simple question that takes care of all that crap. Have you been vaxed? Yes, OK please move to the free and clear VIP line. No, Well then please prepare anus for swabbing and move to the left with all the other degenerates.
Is the end game Gattaca for the vax passport? is that the fear? I can squint and see that in the future. Too much money to be made denying insurance to 'genetically predisposed'. Would the vax passport usher that in...probably not. I don't get the GOP rush to pass laws banning vax passports.
