So do you also refuse to get a normal passport? And would you refuse to let a liquor store scan your ID? I’m not seeing much difference? Nor do I connect the dots with a website data breach which happens all the time to everyone.

No surprise, USG will not mandate vaccine passports.

And what part of obsoleted by vaccinations before it will even get implemented didn’t you get?

And I don’t get the part where it can be obsolesced when the entire concept of passports is to verify that people have received the vaccine. People are already making counterfeit appointment cards to try to lie about getting it.

“If you are scared, stay home.”

Amazing how many cautionary tales, short stories, etc are out there from years past that track right down this road, anyone seen the “Electric Dreams” series on Amazon, more specifically the episode titled “safe and sound”?!

A few things concern me.
1. if the vaccines are effective as "science" says, then why would those that receive the vaccine be scared of those that haven't been vaccinated?
2. COViD has a fairly low iFR, the most recent estimate is 0.15%. For the overwhelming majority of the world this just isn't a safety issue, it is not a risk. There are much deadlier diseases that we encourage, so I see the continued irrational obsession with COViD as a dysfunctional double standard.
3. "Science" has shown that most adults have at least some cross immunity to COViD prior to exposure. Because of this the vaccine is unneeded medicine for most people.

Legitimately cross-immunity (which I probably have plenty of from all my time in Asia) is hit and miss. Part of what makes this scary is that the media can always go find young, healthy-ish people who die of covid. Flu does that too, but just a bit less. I'm sure if we weren't used to the flu, and had a bad outbreak, we'd go hysterical over that too.
The one odd thing which stands out about covid to me is the preponderance of drawn-out symptoms... most people I know who had covid have some of that, none serious. But the FAA just said that stuff is disqualifying, so I'm getting the vaccine for that reason if no other. I'm also a proponent of the vaccine program in general because it provides enough legit additional safety to get many folks to crawl out from under their beds and maybe start flying again. I gave up crying about how ignorant people are a while ago, and am now just concerned with the reality of needing to make them feel safe.
