Vaccine passports: consequences
CTV asks whether vaccine passports will cost businesses customers. I think in the short term, maybe a few, but what if the public knows that a specific grocery chain only employs and admits fully vaccinated people? That’s bound to be a plus. Nice to know you won’t bring home a case of Delta with the groceries.
The Journal asks the same question about bars and restaurants. Owners in this brief piece seem to think most customers will be happy to accede to the requirement.

@TurboHaus on Twitter put it succinctly:
« As we open up our books to start doing shows again, let us be clear, if you’re not vaxxed, you’re not playing. We’ve dealt with landlords, construction, robberies, government shutdowns, zero sleep, crippling stress, the list goes on and on.
And after all that, we still make it to the other side, and there’s a widely accessible vaccine, but you don’t want to take it but still want US to help YOU? Man, eat shit. »

I would be much happier going to a place that has a vaccine passport. If we’re at 85% of adults who have one dose (most of whom will, I assume, be getting the second dose soon, we’re at about 70% who have two already), the 15% is not a huge percentage of clients. And if given the choice between a restaurant that requires vaccination and one that doesn’t, I’ll go to the first.

I wonder how the métro and other transit will handle this. Will they ask anti-vaxxers to sit at the back of the train?

They can go build their own train based on their own science.

Point of fact: not everyone that hadn’t this vaccine is an anti-vaxer. And not everyone against passports hasn’t had the vaccine.

Correct. I’m vaccinated but I am against vaccine passports and won’t be going anywhere that requires me to show one.

Daisy, what are your concerns?

Privacy, security, and the precedent being set.
