I had to present proof of who I was when I received my shot. My immunization card has my name corresponding to my ID.

>"I'm confused, no one is proposing proof of immunization for voting."

My point is that on the one hand requiring an immunization card which requires an ID is okay, but requiring an ID for voting is not okay. Proof of immunization is being required for more and more things which potentially would disenfranchise lots of people.

People are having their private and public sector jobs jeopardized when they hesitate to immunize. At present, though not historically, the most hesitant are the highly educated class...

"Those with professional degrees (e.g., JD, MBA) and PhDs were the only education groups without a decrease in hesitancy, and by May, those with PhDs had the highest hesitancy. To our knowledge, no other study has evaluated education with this level of granularity, which was possible due to our unusually large sample size (>10,000 participants with PhDs). Further investigation into hesitancy among those with a PhD is warranted."

It feels like a stretch to say that study shows "the most hesitant are the highly educated class." In the table, people with a college degree, masters, or JD are all less vaccine-hesitant than the population average. Only PhDs are the outlier.
