Anti-vaxxers are weaponizing Yelp to punish bars that require vaccine proof

"the little card that I got with my vaccination is not meaningful proof."

It's more meaningful than using the honor system.

And it's not your "medical file" a lot more than your driver's license is. It tells one significant detail about your medical history, and that is it.

I prefer bars where I know I am safe, and one where there are people like yourself who claim to be vaccinated but resist showing proof, don't make me feel safe.

I think vaccination status barely rises to the status of 'medical file'.

If you have hemorrhoids that's no ones business. If you're going around spreading covid that is other peoples business. And they have a total right to protect themselves from you.

It is the honor system. Anyone who wants a blank CDC vaccination card doesn't have to look far to find one. Requiring them as proof for anything is just a bureaucratic checkbox.

And so is a drivers license, since you can get fake id's.

That doesn't make it the honor system, except to people who are unable to see shades of gray.

It's ironic you would accuse someone of being unable to see "shades of gray" and then compare the security features of a piece of slightly rigid paper with the CDC logo on it to a state driver's license with holograms, an identity verification process, and multiple fraud detection features.

You are safe if you are vaccinated. It doesn’t depend on what other people do.

Not everyone can be vaccinated, for instance my 7 year old.

If your 7 year old gets anywhere near seriously ill you’ll be in the news, but I suggest you don’t take your 7 year old to a bar anyway.
