They haven’t gone to trial yet, so not sure the outcome, but they were arrested. I have heard that the number of people using fake vaccination cards may surprise us. Goes with the fake therapy dog certificates and driver's licenses... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe for a few Blue states a more official record will be developed. But not nationwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the rest of the world turns to vaccine passports, I'm not sure that the US will have any choice down the road. Just as regular passports have become a requirement for international travel, I foresee vaccine passports eventually becoming a necessity unless there is a sudden and drastic reversal in the pandemic's grip on the world. Just like a travel passport, it wouldn't be designed for domestic application such as attending an event or entering a restaurant, and it would only be issued to those applying for one. The CC boards have shown how difficult it can be for passengers and cruise lines to determine what constitutes proof of vaccination. Foreign nations will become far less flexible and IMO will start demanding something other than easily forged or purchased CDC cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought mask and vaccine MANDATES would be passed and here they are! For schools, sports events, restaurants, hotels, stores, etc. A database is just the next step...Have a version of that voluntarily in NY already Some are faced with tough choices for continued employment and education. Cruising and tourist travel are the least of the worries as it is optional/ recreational! We have our cards tucked away...will guard them carefully!

On a per-state basis. 10th amendment has a way of getting in the way of federal mandates - at least some of the time! I do not expect a national vaccine passport here.

I agree, although the feds could probably require a vaccine passport for public transport. Although it may never really go into effect, the REAL ID requirement for future (now 2023?) TSA purposes may be an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
