Fair enough.
But that illustrates a collision of sorts in the initial question. Does the liberty of the individual to choose not to get vaccinated yield to a business owner that insists upon it?
If you require documentation more official and less easily forged, then obviously some people will have a problem complying and it will be considered abusive.
I have a sheet of paper that has my daughter's name and the vaccines and dates. It could literally be typed up at home.
I'm not sure I believe that will be that much of a problem, though I am sure it will occur. How many people will go to the trouble of creating a fake vaccination card just to go to a parotcular restaurant? Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to, especially compared to the easy route of just getting the vaccine.
The database of the vaccinated/unvaccinated already exists. I went to my personal physician recently for a 6 month checkup. I had my vax card with me, ready to give them, but they already had all the info. They already knew what shot I had and where I got it. Nurse told me they all know already.
Any business should be able to refuse service to anybody for any reason. Liberty is great.
Not intending the thread or OP to be a gotcha, but I would point out that some GOP stars have opposed this. DeSantis promoted and signed a bill this last session that prohibits businesses from requiring proof of vaccination. I think i posted about it at the time because I thought it was inconsistent for conservatives to say on the one hand that government could not tell business that they must require proof of vaccination, but on the other have government ban them from doing so.
He's a shyster, that's why he phrased his poll like he did. Can't enter if you're not vaccinated vs prove the opposite are very different things.So, as a lawyer, you support a business's right to invade a person's medical history and privacy?
Which side of the courtroom would you like to be on for the first person that sues a business for requiring proof of vaccination before serving them?
