The biggest crime of vaccine cards is that they aren't wallet-sized.
Oh I guess DC has one of these.
DC people asking: Go here. Put in your info. It'll take you to a portal with your records. Your covid vax status will have a QR code and if you scan it it'll load it into your wallet. Also valid in AZ, LA, MD, MS, WA, WV. app.myirmobile.com/auth/register?…
I dunno what people are complaining about. This is literally you getting easy access to your own medical records. It also has my flu and tetanus vaccines listed there lol.
Hey, we're talking about the government here. I didn't say it was going to be done well lol
This thread sure brought out the block-worthy. Nobody cares what you think about this. Go jerk each other off in a Discord server or whatever.

Time to rewatch the best Christmas movies.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a tragic movie because it's a legitimate masterpiece that you can only watch after having watched the show, which has 8 good episodes and 20 boring ones, including 6 of the Endless 8 arc (I'd keep the first and last and cut the rest).
I return to this specific scene from it all the time:

I'm all for caution and I'm all for the team sport aspect of battling covid, but I am not taking two separate tests every time I feel sick, let alone as a precaution before something while not feeling sick. You're just going to have to stomach your fear of false negatives.
There really is a stage where my hassle starts to override your comfort level. You wanna come walk my dog while I jump through all these testing hoops so you feel less panicky?
Is that it? I wouldn't even know since I've only taken one covid test at a testing place and it was a nasal swab.

There's nothing embarrassing about getting covid even if you were really careful. A virus is a virus. It's a bit like bed bugs - you don't get them from being dirty like you would roaches (though you can get roaches without being dirty either). The Ritz Carlton had bed bugs.
Getting covid is not your fault, even if you're unvaxxed. Because that's a dangerous road: Is it your fault if you only have one dose? Or only two doses? Or a booster? Or a booster plus a mask? Two masks? An N95? Never leaving home? Where's the "it's your fault" cutoff point?
As I said yesterday - there are always people less cautious than you and there are always people more cautious than you and the less cautious aren't just more reckless than you and the more cautious aren't just more prudent than you. There is no objective middle ground point.

Not sure why it's controversial to say that families should decide together on safety measures for the holidays rather than force each other to prove their medical status because the internet told them that's the only way to be safe.
Maybe I just can't put myself in the shoes of other families and maybe for other people it would be perfectly normal or seems reasonable during covid. To me it sounds horrific.
And just for the record - yes, it is objectively safer for an immunocompromised person to stay home than it is to trust that 20 people took covid tests, got accurate results, and didn't catch covid after the test and before the dinner. Point is everyone has *some* line.

There needs to be a breakdown of cases (moreso of hospitalizations and deaths) by vax status. A large disparate impact changes the entire perception of this data. There is way less the vaxxed population can do to help if they aren't catching it or getting sick in large numbers.
And "the vaccinated should keep being as careful to protect the unvaccinated people that I want deprioritized from healthcare and banned from public spaces" is messaging that feels confused and muddled and motivated by the moment to moment emotion.
This does sorta support what I'm saying. If unvaccinated deaths are 13x higher than vaccinated deaths, and 83% of the adult population is at least partially vaxxed, the impact is extremely disparate.
