A digital receipt of a vaccination is a great idea. Especially if we want sporting/other large events underway again at full capacity.
Got a tip for us?

It’s been interesting reading this thread, awful hearing of the horrendous story I replied to earlier though...
I’ve seen comments stating that one person’s right to swing a fist, etc, ends at the other person’s face. Where does the rights of those who cannot be vaccinated, converge with the rights of people who do not want to be vaccinated? Are they treated equally when it comes to travel and attending events etc? Are both sets of people banned from doing these things? This is a complicated situation and a slippery slope when people are being required to be injected with a vaccine.
Also, where’s the evidence to suggest that being vaccinated prevents you from carrying the virus? As I understand things, it’s unknown if those vaccinated can still be carriers. I’d assume they can, given that a lot of infected people are asymptomatic. I’ve read that 1 in 5 who have COVID-19 don’t have any symptoms but something more recently suggested that 86 percent of people who tested positive for COVID-19 were asymptomatic.
Symptoms of Covid-19 are a poor marker of infection
86% of people who tested positive for Covid-19 during lockdown did not have virus symptoms (cough, and/or fever, and/or loss of taste/smell), finds a study by UCL researchers. The authors say a more widespread testing programme is needed to catch ‘silent’ transmission.
what happened to "my body, my choice"? interesting how quickly that changed!
Wow. What happened to the Jews is in no way the same as you having a choice to get a vaccine or not. I think those people have suffered enough (and continue to) because people like you trivializing their experience.
The non-stop "my rights, my rights" is getting ridiculous. You're not that special.
If you dont want it, dont get it. If the rest of society thinks it's worthwhile and you dont want to participate or play by rules, that's fine too. Enjoy your guns and cabin in the woods.
If you're going to go down the path of government overreach, pick something more modern like maybe China.
even stated by Fauci, getting the vaccine doesn't change what you've been doing. Still wear a mask and socially distance. Also stated that they aren't sure that you can still get it and spread it with the vaccine. Same people that said if you have a friend or family member that gets it, that you don't need to get tested unless you have symptoms. Yet, of course you can pass it on to others being asymptomatic. so yeah this "science" you speak of isn't consistent with what you're wanting everyone to believe.
again, what happened to "my body, my choice"?
the same china that everyone defends except trump? that china?
Still your choice. But there will be consequence if you don’t. Simple.
omg the horror, won't be allowed into a concert with the general public. businesses will change their mind real quick when they lose business.
HIPPA was one of the worst things to ever happen in US Health care. Adding Billions in costs that all of us pay.
Your selfish behavior will limit your dining, event and travel options in the near future. Good on you
My records are between me and the authority that requests them, if Spain asks for records, I will gladly provide, I will follow the rules of society for the good of all
Enjoy living in a tiny little self imposed box
This is the only situation the anti-vaxxers are right. I work with some high risk people - I got the CV19 vaccine. But unless you work with high risk people or are high risk there or have high risk family there is no reason to get the vaccine. This is a disease that is weirdly deadly to the elderly and nearly harmless in the young. Just get the real disease not the vaccine.
According to data from JHU the deaths are not excess deaths. There were no excess deaths in the US in 2020. That’s weird but that’s the data.
vaccine to dine in a restaurant AND I still have to pay for that experience? people will go elsewhere. businesses will just hurt themselves.
It hasn’t changed. You just don’t seem to understand it doesn’t apply here because you have a direct impact on everyone you come into contact with.
Of course they stop you being a carrier. Just like getting the disease. This is the case for all viral vaccines. CV19 is not magic. It will follow the same behavior as other viruses until dramatically proven otherwise.
but I thought masks and socially distancing worked??
Estimations by cancer societies predict 2 million world wide deaths from delays in care secondary to CV19. Everything has a price and with CV19 we were extremely simplistic in our calculations.

I don’t see restaurants requiring vaccines, they will likely practice distancing and likely mandatory contact tracing.
Proof of vaccination will likely come from sporting events, concerts and travel
People would take it serious because it’s polio. Not a virus harmless to 99% of the population. People are acting rationally.
bc you can't get it at a restaurant but magically will at a concert or sporting event lol classic.
You are quoting two different numbers. One is the identified cases which is about 3% (except in the incompetent North East US) and the other assumes cases untested which given 40% of people are asymptomatic could be a large group.
