would you support business that said you can only come in if you prove vaccination

[demtenjeep]

Those would be my go to places.

[VarryOn]

1. No. Nt

[dawg day]

2. After June--

Got to let everyone have a chance at the shot.

[dflprincess]

3. "Fully vaccinated" would be a better term

There is no "both" with the J&J vaccine.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Even though I have had both shots, I couldn't prove it if my life depended on it.

They didn't get us "I got poked" stickers.

[LisaL]

6. They didn't give you a vaccination card?

NT

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. The hospital gave no one vaccination cards.

On edit, I was giving a card so that I could get my second shot. I forgot about that. But we did not receive a second card.

Second edit. I'm an idiot and my wife proved it. When I asked her, she showed me right where it was.
So, yes, I have proof of my first and second shot.

I am such a dummy.

[KPN]

20. Lol. That's funny! Nice to know it's not just me

when it comes to stuff like this sometimes.

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. I tell her I do things like that just to keep her amused.

Sometimes she actually believes it.

[KPN]

26. Haha. I dunno. I bet she knows better. I know

my wife does.

[catbyte]

42. The Health Department worker who was monitoring me after injection said that it was a

good idea to take a picture of the front & back of my completed vaccination card with my phone or camera so I have a digital record of it in case something happens to the paper copy or if I need to submit it digitally for some reason. It seems like a good idea so it's enshrined on my phone and my cloud drive.

[marie999]

45. Great idea, thanks.

[Ferrets are Cool]

56. That is a great idea!!

[demtenjeep]

7. you have your card

I took a picture of that card so it is on my phone always



and my card is in with my other important papers

[ChazII]

64. It was suggested to me

to take a picture on my phone as well. I get my second chance 4/7.

[BlueLucy]

12. Most States have websites where you can download a certificate of immunization.

https://wa.myir.net/

[Tess49]

46. I have the card showing my two vaccinations. Why do I need to take a picture of it

and save it on my phone? Serious question. Why would anyone, other than me, care whether or not I've been vaccinated? I suppose a potential employer might want to see it. Maybe my physician, too. What else?

[BlueLucy]

48. I didn't say anything about taking a picture of it.

I suggested downloading a copy of proof from the states data base incase the card they give you is lost. What else? How about potentially people may need proof to travel or go to school.

[Tess49]

61. You're right. Lots of potential needs to carry it, or be able to document it. I guess it never

occurred to me that our vaccination status could become an issue. I'm old and never go anywhere, lol.

[lagomorph777]

58. It's smart, in case you lose the original or forget to carry it.

[Tess49]

62. Mine is sitting in a desk drawer waiting to be lost among the other junk in there. I will put it

someplace that is safer.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. No.

[Bluethroughu]

8. If their employees also had two vaccines, and still follow CDC

Guidelines of masks. Yes, less anxiety.

[demtenjeep]

17. that was my feelings

less anxiety


and I am an extrovert. I can talk to anyone any time but this last year has turned me into a recluse

[Bluethroughu]

32. You are not alone, me too.

[Freddie]

10. Depends on the business

Airlines, maybe restaurants. I really miss going out to eat but I still think it’s risky because you (obviously) can’t eat wearing a mask. I’ll feel better about it when most people are vaccinated. I’m done and DH had his 1st Pfizer today.

[BlueLucy]

11. Yep. Fully vaccinated.

[soothsayer]

13. Well, if *you're* fully vaccinated, does it matter?

Just wear your mask.

[hamsterjill]

14. I'm really undecided on this issue.

I see the logic in this, both as a safety issue and as an incentive to get people to want to be vaccinated. But I gotta tell you - when someone starts telling me I “HAVE” to do something, there is an instantaneous response of “oh no I don’t”. Then, I try to be reasonable and rational. I think a lot of people feel that way.

The problem I see with requiring this is going to be down the line - once we know the length of protection the vaccines give. For argument’s sake, let’s say it’s six months. Are people then going to need to prove that they’ve received a current booster to come in to the business? I’m not sure how realistically that would all play out.

[gopiscrap]

15. Yes

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. Yes.

[Renew Deal]

18. No

I'm not sure I would avoid them but it is a poor choice. First of all, it's an invasion of privacy. Also, there might be legitimate reasons why people aren't vaccinated.

I understand why certain businesses might require vaccination for employees, but not really for customers.

[LisaL]

21. It's already happening in other countries like Israel.

NT

[Renew Deal]

24. I know this is obvious but...

We're not Israel. The reasons to do it make sense but it's still a bad idea, especially in the US.

[hamsterjill]

30. It won't happen here.

Whether good or bad (and I’m undecided), it’s not going to happen here. I live in Texas and there’s no way. We haven’t even been able to get the governor to keep a mask mandate.

As the pandemic comes more under control (and we all want that), there will be less and less incentive for businesses to make patrons show proof of vaccination. Businesses here were mad about doing simple temperature checks.

[dweller]

19. Hmmm

NO SHOES
NO SHIRT
NO SHOTS
NO SERVICE

might catch on ...

✌🏻

[LisaL]

23. Once vaccine is widely available (which will be soon), then yes.

NT

[wcmagumba]

25. By gosh yes...as soon as everyone has had the opportunity to get the shot(s)...maybe 2 or 3 months..

💉 It's common sense and for every one's sake...imo...🩹🧑?⚕️

[KarenS]

27. Heck yes!! I would do more if businesses did this. n/t

[Midnightwalk]

28. Great question

Many people seem sure. I’m not sure we’ll know until we see. Here’s two opposite cases

Doctor’s office. You can’t be treated unless you are vaccinated?

Bars. I’m going to continue social distancing like six feet in line and wearing masks indoors until we know what happens with variants, transmittability, and reinfection. I’m not going to a bar until I can sit there without a mask.

[drmeow]

29. No

There are legitimate reasons why some people can't get vaccinated and legitimate reasons why they might not want to reveal that information to strangers.

[Wednesdays]

31. Once vaccinations become ubiquitous,

it'll become a moot point.

[Klaralven]

33. Yes, but only if they require masks, social distancing, and have proper hygiene & infection control

[struggle4progress]

34. Maybe my mask largely protects you but my vacc largely protects me

Being vaccinated won't keep me from getting COVID or passing it on

But it does prep my immune system to fight back, so my viral load will stay lower and my chances of getting really sick decrease

A decreased viral load may also lower my chances of passing the virus along, but the mask still helps with that

[Ms. Toad]

43. The mask is effective to protect BOTH people. n/t

[struggle4progress]

50. Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People

Updated Mar. 8, 2021

Fully vaccinated people can:

Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
Refrain from quarantine and testing following a known exposure if asymptomatic

For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:

Take precautions in public like wearing a well-fitted mask and physical distancing
Wear masks, practice physical distancing, and adhere to other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease
Wear masks, maintain physical distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple households
Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings
Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms ...

[meadowlander]

36. Medical status is not an adequate basis for discrimination.

I'd say any business that wants to try this should have a stable of top lawyers at the ready.

1. it's illegal to ask people for personal medical information (such as the reason they couldn't get the vaccine is because they're immunosuppressed, etc.)
2. it's illegal to deny people access to a business because of their personal medical conditions

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

37. Since I haven't a clue when I might finally get the vaccine,

that shouldn't happen until summer, at least.

I realize 100 million doses have been delivered, but a lot fewer than 100 million have gotten even one dose. Honestly, I'm becoming highly skeptical of those numbers. It just passes my understanding that a 72 year old who had a serious heart attack in December has somehow not risen to the top of the list. Maybe I should simply be happy that there really are so many who are older or sicker than I am.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

38. Yes

[cate94]

40. Yes within parameters.

For outdoor dining, no. Indoor dining, yes. Bars outdoors, no. Bars indoors, yes. Any outdoor activity allowing distancing, no. Indoor activities even with distancing, yes.

[kelly1mm]

41. Since none of the vaccines are approved for children will all children be banned from

these businesses as well? That could be a plus or a minus, depending on how you see things!

[SergeStorms]

44. You know there's going to be a lucrative market...

for counterfeit vaccination cards, if there isnt already. Knowing how many anti-vaxxers there are in this country, but also knowing how entitled they all feel, they already realize that little card is going to be necessary to engage in certain activities in the near future. It wouldnt take much to counterfeit them, and there's always someone willing to break any rule/law to make a quick buck.

Just sayin'.

[liberal_mama]

51. On the right wing/survivalist forums, they are already discussing buying counterfeit vaccine cards

[BlueLucy]

53. States have a data base where they keep names of people who have been vaccinated.

People can register and get the info for them and immediate family. It won't be that easy to cheat.

[Ms. Toad]

47. There are people who will be unable to be vaccinated -

now matter how much vaccine is available.

People allergic to one or more components of the vaccine (or who have a severe allergic reaction to their first dose, for example), and children under 16.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

60. +1

[PortTack]

49. Yes!! Would be my number one go to!

[FlyingPiggy]

52. That would be exactly where I would go. As it is now, I only shop

At places that mandate and enforce mask wearing.

[ecstatic]

54. Would masks still be required?

Even the vaccinated aren't out the woods when it comes to catching and/or spreading covid.

I think rules like that would create a false sense of security and increase the number of maskholes out there.

[DFW]

55. Here, that means no one under the age of 80 is welcome

Probably not the best way to attract enough business to warrant opening the doors.

[lagomorph777]

57. Yes, of course (once we can all get vaccinated).

[Greybnk48]

59. Yes. No jab, no job. Just like when we travel.

You cannot travel to certain places without shots, or you cannot come back into our country. How is this different?

It's the same with school vacs for kids. I really don't see the problem when the shots are free.

[Liberal In Texas]

63. Absolutely, especially after they become available to anybody who wants one. n/t

[demtenjeep]

65. The cruise we lost last year is rescheduled -All adults must be vaxxed

and I am cool with that

[Treefrog]

66. How can you possibly prove it? I could get a pic of my BFF's card on my phone. Who is to know that

it’s not mine? That makes no sense and could never be something that would work.

[fishwax]

67. no...i wouldn't boycott them for it either, but it wouldn't make me more likely to support them

Maybe there are specific categories of business that I might feel differently about specifically, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

[Midwestern Democrat]

68. No - I don't really want to go through "Your Papers Please" as a routine part of life.

[Demovictory9]

69. Maybe..if all have equal access to vaccine
