I'm inclined to view the fact that vaccine cards are extremely easy to falsify as a feature, not a bug. If we want a vaccine passport regime, then we should pass an appropriate law. It shouldn't just be rolled out as the bureaucratic side effect of a mass vaccination program.https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1387870849395576835 …

As far as I know there's also no provision to replace a lost card (beyond nebulous advice to try to go back to the place you got vaccinated, if it still exists). And we're already seeing private employers and universities demand proof of vaccination (which I'm surprised is legal)

At the start of the pandemic, when the tradeoffs were different, I called for mass surveillance. If it turns out now vaccine passports are a lifesaving public health measure, then I'll support them. But it shouldn't be done sneaky and ad-hoc like this https://idlewords.com/2020/03/we_need_a_massive_surveillance_program.htm …

The tension here is that either the vaccine is voluntary, or it's not. I'm cool with either, but Congress needs to speak with a clear voice on the matter. Leave the lack of clarity on life-or-death issues to the CDC
