Did they or DIDN'T they get the vaccine ?

Have to wonder how the public will really know if someone who tells you they were vaccinated actually was . Some will say they were (even if they weren't) just to keep people "off their case" and blend in as falsely compliant under public or personal pressure . Whose to know ?

Only THAT person and their Doctor know for sure . Too ,( even if the medical community  ISSUES CERTIFICATES documenting a vaccination [ as proof ] ) ,everyone knows there will be scammers SELLING FAKE ONES !Heard NOTHING in the Media about THESE SCENERIOS .

Frankly ,( to be on the safe side) , maybe the Public should hope what they were told was true , but for matters of personal safety assume it MIGHT not be true , and protect themselves anyway .

    Fake vaccination passports will sell better than fake IDs ever did.

    Who cares? Everyone can still be required to wear masks and use social distancing for as long as it takes to reduce the spread to manageable levels.  There are NO "vaccination" credentials issued in the USA, i.e., some forgery-resistant credentials identifying the patient and their vaccination status as certified by a trusted entity.  Probably never will be.

    I saw an article yesterday that Florida lawmakers are introducing legislation to PROHIBIT so-called "vaccination passports".

    It should remain your own private medical information whether or not you were personally treated with a vaccine, even if it happens in public as administered by a total stranger with a mask on.

    On the other hand, if you want to come within spitting distance of someone, they have the right to ask you to wear a mask, regardless of whether you might CLAIM to be vaccinated or have any other excuse for anti-masking stupidity.

    Unless they can prove it, I wouldn't believe them. Funny you should ask because 

    this past Saturday I worked an event where masks were mandatory unless eating

    or drinking. Prior to it beginning, a mask-less spectator who I calmly and distinctly informed of the policy (despite their probably having had probably read protocol on 

    our website before attending) claimed to have been vaccinated. I should've asked

    security to talk to her (I have other things to do than watch over Karen like a hawk, 

    and noticed several times she'd removed it) .. might not be as courteous next time.

    In countries with socialised medicine it would be perfectly legal to refuse to treat anyone who had declined a vaccine, indeed such a person could be required to sign a waiver saying that they agreed not to be treated.  But in practice once 51% have been vaccinated, it appears that the rest fall into compliance.  Peer group pressure is a wonderful thing as is self-interest.

    It's like any other vaccine...   ITS NONE OF YOUR BUISINESS if someone has the vaccine or not.

    There is no such thing as "compliance".  There's no law that one must be vaccinated.   It's a PERSONAL CHOICE.

    Most are choosing to get vaccinated.

    The aim is not for the individual to be vaccinated anyways, but for majority of the HERD to be vaccinated.   If an estimated 75-85% of the population gets the vaccine, the number of covid cases should drastically reduce and we can resume back to normal.

    Your concern isn't whether or not a specific person is or isn't vaccinated.   Your concern is if you choose to be part of the majority that is vaccinated or not

    Who's to know? If all the rest of us are vaccinated, does it really matter? They can't give it to us and they may just die off. You know, Darwin Award winners there.

    You can't control others but you can control what you do by following CDC protocol and getting the vaccine.
