These health passes will later be called citizen passes or similar, and you won't be able to do any activity without them.
"The key to unlock NYC" just reeks of cheesy marketing department brainstorming doesnt it?

This sentiment I absolutely I agree with.

I never said I was confused in my comment. Reasonable people can disagree about the necessity of vaccines for every single human. I'm making the case it is not necessary and that it is unethical. I could have gone into how these vaccines would be much more useful given to at-risk populations throughout the world instead of low risk, largely already immune young populations in the West. That's another good angle of this.
All that being said, I don't think scare mongering about social credit systems is helpful in this discussion. Most I've talked to who support vax pass are resolutely opposed to China-style social credit systems and I believe such a system would be difficult to implement in the U.S.
