My unpopular opinion is that vaccine passports are fine so long as the government isn’t the one requiring them for anything.
If the trade off is the vaccine passport for things like entirely full sports stadiums and entirely packed bars, I think it’s worth it.
Another benefit that surely will not pacify the haters is that it would actually, you know, create an incentive to get the vaccine (something govt keeps refusing to do).
Lots of places wouldn’t have any incentive to have a vaccine passport for people shopping and I think, by and large, companies respond to incentives.
Amazon isn’t going to stop shipping your packages that they’ve shipped throughout the pandemic.

Me looking at lefty Twitter with my takes about benevolent government, the common good and stakeholder capitalism.
Also, the places that would actually have this are the ones who, alternatively, would be shut. Communities in Texas can be open. Those places aren’t going to take steps backward with a vaccine passports. But places that aren’t open - like Austin - could become increasingly open.
At least I warned you guys that this was an unpopular take.
