(7,858 posts)We oppose Voter ID laws because there are many vulnerable people, particularly minorities, that dont have valid ID. How are they supposed to potentially get a vaccine passport to be able to enter stores and restaurants and public buildings if they lack a way to identify themselves.
I also had to show my photo ID to get my vaccine, that could be why many folks are forgoing the vaccine as well.

(7,858 posts)At the government site I went to. How do you properly identify someone is who they say they are on the card or app without additional ID requirements?
I could just show someone at a business a screenshot of the app with a green check mark for vaccinated, how do they know thats even my card or name?

It does not apply to shopping
It does not apply to pubic transportation...
It is not going to adversely affect minorities.
It applies to people who are willing to spend money for non-necessities.
You can still go to McDonalds without a vaccine, but you will need to eat your food outdoors to take it home...
