The Scandinavian countries all have vaccine cards, however, and permit people to discriminate based on whether one has those.

The U.S. won’t jail you if you refuse the vaccine. But you have to stay home. This is functionally identical to the Scandinavian solution, minus public buildings and minus a federal vaccine certificate.

Are you saying US and Scandinavia are the same but different? The US won’t jail you unless you disobey?

They’re the same as in nobody is forced to get the vaccine. Nobody will be threatened with state violence for not getting the shot. They’re just barred from a lot of facilities for the choice they made. We do similarly for children whose parents refuse to give them measles shots.

Enforcement, naturally, varies. In Manhattan, I’m constantly asked for card and ID. In Long Island, it never happened.

So you are walking down the street and the cops say “papers please” and you whip them out with the pride of someone protecting the homeland, because you have permission to walk around?

You can't write stuff like this here, even if the person to whom you're responding is mistaken in a variety of ways. Even if you live in Copenhagen.

When comparing Denmark to the US you should really be comparing the Denmark of a few months ago to the present US, because Denmark is way ahead of the US on vaccinations and on taking non-vaccine anti-COVID measures.

Due to Denmark's high vaccination rate and widespread following of anti-COVID measures their delta surge in cases was in the bottom half for Europe (and peaked about 60% below the US delta surge), and their delta death surge was almost undetectable when graphed on the same scale as the rest of Europe (their peak was around 8% of the US peak).

Denmark seems to have made it to the stage where COVID is now just another circulating cold virus (joining the previous four coronaviruses that have become endemic in humans and are responsible for about 20% of colds). About a month ago they ended all COVID restrictions. That's why no one has cared about your vaccination status recently.
