So am sort of done with this.. I don’t recall ever preaching about it or once telling anyone what to do
I never accused you of said actions or said the original post was directed towards you, but you seem to be dying on that hill.

Perhaps I’m mistaken but don’t you smoke, Hutch? If so, we are very much at your place in the line.
My partner says it might happen this week
I think we were a little late to submit our info
If you smoke, you are very much eligible now. I have helped about 40 people get vaccinations. Shoot me a PM and I will walk you through what pharmacies are offering in Alexandria/Arlington and how to check and what times they load new doses. If you’re willing to be up at like 12:05am, you should have something in the next week following my method even though NoVa is the hardest area to get one in Virginia currently.

Ok I registered on the CVS website for this weekend
Basically you check website at midnight and slots open up at the various CVS pharmacies in the area you live.. lots of Moderna some Pfizer’s
I had no Pfizer near me so I chose Moderna
Then you have to answer some questions and give them your healthcare info if you don’t want to shell out out of pocket
You also pick the appointment time for your second dose which is about a month later

Also, at CVS (at least the one I went to), you don't pay a dime, or provide an insurance card, or even show your ID. I simply said my name and was put in line (a line with one person ahead of me).

So how do y'all feel about vaccine passports? You’ll need to show this vaccine passport for international travel, and possibly even domestic travel. The private sector might end up requiring it as a condition of employment, and service providers and retailers might require it for entry.
Being forced to show a vaccine passport to do most things you do on a routine day? What do you think?
Maybe we should also construct some ovens for those who refuse to be vaccinated?

I think it’s great
I am not sure it will happen in the US - I can already see red states challenging the constitutionality and Freedumb-but I would like to see it happen
Let’s imagine this covid plays out as we think it will and there are mutations all the time and we need vaccine shots every year and maybe booster shots too
How are we going to be able to somewhat go back to normal if we don’t track who has gotten the shots?
Are you just trying to be polemic comparing this to the Nazis killing millions? In very bad taste

The CVSes I have been taking people to were asking if people needed to update their insurance info but they have no super motivation to ask as there is a federal program who pays them for uninsured people and it, in great government fashion, pays more then the Medicare/caid or standard insurance rate.

I am as anti-vaccine card as I am pro-vaccine. IMO, getting vaccinated should be a personal choice, not a mandate for everyday life. That's all I'll say.

That’s the dumb rationale for people not wearing masks!!
When your not getting the shot threatens me or my kids it’s not a personal choice but a societal choice…focusing on the individual on a collective issue is misguided
I can see vaccine passports taking off in some states and also as a requirement for international travel.. some countries may choose not to let people in without it..

Anti vaccine card shaming is the new vaccine shaming!

How about this rationale?
It is also likely that demographic groups with higher levels of trust in authorities and medical institutions are the most willing to be vaccinated, and this may adversely affect marginalized communities. A recent study found that Black Americans – who have legitimate reasons to distrust the medical establishment – were the least likely of any racial group in the U.S. to say they’d get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
As such, vaccination passports could perpetuate existing inequities within countries if those who are vaccinated can enjoy the freedom to move about their community while others remain in lockdown.https://theconversation.com/vaccine-passports-may-be-on-the-way-but-are-they-a-reason-for-hope-or-a-cause-for-concern-156534
