Take it from this Tacoma Democrat: Liberals should fear vaccine passports

Hey All,

Old thread, I know, but someone I know recently had some questions about my article, and I found this thread when searching for the original article. Good discussion; and I do take criticism as constructive. However, I'd like to give a short update on a particular part of the article which now seems almost prophetic (in a bad way!):

Me in 2021: "Medical decisions are personal and should be made between a patient and their doctor. This is as true of vaccinations as it is of the decision to have an abortion. Could you imagine the Democratic outcry if Republicans attempted to force women to disclose whether they had an abortion in order to participate in public life?"

Me in 2022: "Yeah, I think I know exactly what that looks like."

Question for you all -- has anyone's opinion on this issue changed in light of the decision in Dobbs and all of the state-level legislation trying to peer into women's medical histories in order to criminalize abortion? If yes, what precisely changed your mind? If not, why not?
