So awesome and noninvasive to outsiders who don’t need to see any personal information.
It will become your entry to so many things.
For once the anti vaxxers will have a real choice.
My take is don’t waste many brain cells on all the silly headlines of who won’t get it. Unless of course really bad reactions start happening at scale.

I just don’t see this happening. Between voluntary vaccinations and the ~ half a million cases a day (incl undetected) we’ll have herd immunity by late spring and people will cease to be concerned.

Right, by then the big question will be, can Joe Biden continue to hold Mr. Trump in Guantanamo indefinitely?

Maybe if the vaccine was rolled out earlier.

It's easier to imagine a world with things shut down completely and then they start opening just for people who are vaccinated. That could have happened perhaps if we got the vaccine in mid April.
But it's harder to imagine a world where things are open, and overnight they go from taking anyone to taking only vaccinated people.
IOW, if the planes can operate now, with record cases and no vaccine, why could they not operate in (say) March with, one presumes, far few cases active and far more people immune? How would it make sense then to impose the restriction?

I remember carrying a yellow card that had a list of what immunizations/vaccines I had (like yellow fever, etc) that I could show at entry to countries in case they wanted proof.
This doesn't seem that different. I can see countries using this with COVID before they would let you enter.

It’ll be too easy to forge, too. Immediately losing its effect. Once doubt is cast, it becomes a worthless card.
