The vaccine passport system is not intended to control the spread of the virus, even though your hysterical friends tell you it makes them feel safe.
In Canada they've come right out and told us that it is NOT for this purpose, but rather to punish the unvaccinated

From the BC Parks and Rec: "Remember, the purpose of the PoV card is to incentivize residents to be vaccinated, not to control the spread of the virus."
Also from the BC Parks and Rec: "This is an important shift to keep aware of for your decision-making; the province has shifted from actions that provide a COVID-safe environment to actions that provide discretionary services to the vaccinated." bcrpa.bc.ca/fitness/covid-…
"The vaccine passport requires people to be vaccinated to do certain discretionary activities such as go to restaurants, movies, gyms, not because these places are high risk. We are not actually seeing covid transmission in these settings.
"It really is to create an incentive to improve our vaccination coverage…. The vaccine passport is for non-essential opportunities, and it's really to create an incentive to get higher vaccination rates.”
That was Patricia Daly, Chief Medical Health Officer for Vancouver Coastal Health; she makes these remarks around 15:30 of this video

Before the predictable yammering about the electoral college (which is an excellent institution no civilized person should even consider getting rid of) starts up again, here's why it's a good thing (thread coming):
Without it, we'd live in a world in which someone could be elected president by campaigning only in New York, Florida, Texas, and California. They'd have the sheer numbers to blow everyone else away. With the electoral college you can get only so much support from any one state
Also, it's not just raw numbers we want protected and represented but whole societies and ways of life, which are represented by the states
