Vaccine Passports

Suppose your government has a vaccine passport that, restricts you from social events, dining, and travel.

Would you get it?
Is such a thing in accordance with your values and beliefs?


>Would you get it?

I don't know if I would. Not only have experts been saying that the (experimental, emergency) vaccines don't stop you from spreading the virus, I'm a healthy, young man, so if I do get it (which the vaccines also don't prevent), it would be very unlikely that I would die or become hospitalized from it.

>Is such a thing in accordance with your values and beliefs?

I want to be a good citizen. I want to help "save lives" and so I wear my mask when stores require that I do. It's not a big deal to me.
But needing to prove that I've gotten a certain injection before I can normally participate in society seems to be going too far. Plus, I'm black, and I've been told that Voter ID is racist against me, so I feel like I need to reject Vaccine ID out of spite, as a "gotcha" towards the other argument.

Nope.

The restrictions angle sounds lame but I'd like some QR code or something nonphysical to refer to in the instance of my vaccination status were to be questioned.

Cereal boxes have batch and serial numbers.
Let the doses be on some public registry and let the vaccinated choose to register their unique vaccination info on in return of some unique code specific to them. Someone smart could make such a system work I'm sure. Man on moon and shit.

Then again how the fuck would the restriction angle work while HIPPA exists?

The easy way out is to not be a citizen.

I don't go anywhere to begin with, so the restrictions mean nothing to me and even if it meant no supermarkets, I can just pay extra to get it delivered.

We have QR codes you're supposed to scan when entering buildings, venues etc, so that the government can easily contact trace in the event of an outbreak.
I guess that's kinda like a passport, but so far no-ones actually enforced it, and nothings stopping you just pretending to scan it, so maybe it isn't.

Hell no.

I oppose authoritarianism and this is a fascist states wet dream.
Some kind of big brother dystopian nightmare scenario.

Fuck no.

This WuFlu thing is also exaggerated to infinity and beyond, all to get people scared enough to barter away their freedoms and rights.
It's on par with a regular winter flu. Masks don't work, lockdowns don't work. These vaccines and gene-therapy shots don't even work.
