If this is a good faith question that's fine. A health passport to buy groceries is the hill to die on because you are consenting to a lifetime of injections just to live.

No one should be under the impression that the next booster won't be mandated. You give these people an inch and they take a mile.

And it's also not a government thing. I would think that the White House is upset with New York's decision because they preferred private business restrict access to the unvaccinated, New York might have jumped the gun, revealed the play etc.



Thanks for answering. I do feel that government isn't anywhere near organised enough to exercise this sort of control. I've worked for a couple of different government organisations and they are in general, people who just want to do their job and go home. Like I'm not sure why vaccination cards would be the thing I'd choose if I wanted to control a population, that already has a myriad of different controls anyway (drivers license, tax records etc), when you travel overseas you already need vaccination records for various things, or when you send kids to school. The lifetime of injections is not guaranteed at this stage either, no doubt a better vaccine will come along. Thanks for answering anyway, I'm curious why this is such an emotional issue for some people.
