I do believe in restricting what you can do if you haven’t taken it,
Actually, while I do want WAY more vaccinated myself (and I am) - I do have issue here - mainly because to do so means requesting medical information - that really I feel should NEVER be mandatory to show anyone for any reason - and certainly not just to go spend money (restaurant, concert, whatever - you are either open, are not - and if you are, you serve all without even asking verbally, never mind insist on any sort of proof.
Yes I do have it - but there is absolutely no way I am going to show it to anyone other than treating medical professionals. And business that does - even if the offer another option, such as dine outside, contactless delivery, ex. just the fact that the ask anyone - I intend to not use at all until they stop that practice - because they refuse to respect privacy just to ask at all.
It is medical info, ONLY treating medical professionals have any right to it.
Now I can sort of see employers asking - I guess they have the right to know if who they are hiring is - but even if I could work - I surely would turn down a job from such an employer, in order to preserve my privacy.
And with me, that is certainly not about COVID it's medical info in general, and goes back as far as when legally MY choice (19). My vaxes for school needed to be boosted - got that done (strange feeling - I was the only one that old there to actually get a shot - but that's getting off the point) - but no way was that school getting that info (honestly don't recall how that was finally resolved - but I do know they never got any info there). Also have never once for any reason given anyone other than treating medical professionals any drug test results - actual intoxication yes - not generally what is present. Besides being medical info itself, just to pass one, you need to declare any prescribed medication, further diminishing medical privacy.
So COVID is not the first issue I have had, and stuck to no matter what (I truly was ready to walk away from school over the proof of vaccination, and I know they knew that) - and I am sure COVID will not be the last. But take any privacy away regardless of why - even if I am in compliance anyway - I will walk away, to keep that privacy.
