Will we have to prove being vaccinated in order to be in public without a mask?

[mysteryowl]

I am wondering if stores, bars, sports events, etc... will people have to prove they have been vaccinated?
Will we need to carry around something like a vaccination license or an online proof, and if someone can't prove vaccination they will need to wear a mask?

[we can do it]

1. I'm wearing mine for awhile after I get mine.

95% still isn’t perfect, and too many assholeswill use this as an excuse.

2. I will keep wearing a mask too, but will the UN-masked have to prove vaccination?

[we can do it]

4. I think it would be easier for businesses to just require masks for a while.

Protecting staff and clients seems to be more important than looking at a card that could easily be faked.

3. I'm wearing mine until infection rates start dropping. I think another shutdown is required.

[we can do it]

5. Agree. Should shut it all down until after the holidays at least.

10. +1, all other countries did the minimum NPI and that included crushing infection rates nationwide

... while the US was taken out of high level NPI because our leader wanted to inject infection inside.

6. Interesting, there will be an long overlap phase of mixed status

In order to prevent rampant infections, as if we're not there already, maybe even those who are vaccinated will have to wear masks until all are vaccinated.

7. I'll keep wearing a mask till things return to almost normal.

8. Mask policies should not change for vaccinated people.

The vaccines will not be 100% effective. And there's a LOT of infectious people out there. Unmasked vaccinated people will still get sick and contribute to further community spread.

Maybe once the case numbers go way, way down this could be a policy change which might make sense.

But from a practical standpoint, anti-masker people are gonna lie about being vaccinated just to avoid the masks. Making everyone stay masked up provides less room for chicanery.

9. Fauci suggests

masks be worn until the virus is under control.

11. No. (nm)

12. There is talk the airlines will require proof of vaccination in order to fly.

13. I'm going to get a wearable sandwich board

like they used to wear in the 1930s

14. Sir show me your papers. Maybe a dog tag to prove you got your Rabies and COVID shot. nt

15. We will need to keep wearing masks and social distancing

Listen to the scientists.
A vaccine shot is no reason to not follow protocol.

Wear a mask !
