When other businesses do the same, eventually everyone will feel they must get the vaccine because of the problems associated with getting tested all the time. So the government may not mandate the vaccine, but you vill comply.
There will definitely be some way to get phony documentation you got the vaccine and I will definitely do that as soon as I can if these idiots continue with these policies

At the moment, this seems like a hypothetical issue.

They’ll ultimately end up with nobody going considering only 30-40% of people will get the vaccine and probably by the back half of 2021 into 2022 it’ll become progressively harder to find testing locations. I think they’ll try it for 2021 and once they realize its impacting attendance it’ll be quietly dropped

Food is a necessity, live concerts are not so while I think it’s cringe worthy what Ticketmaster is doing, it’s not something I will fight them on, I just won’t every support them with my dollars.

If it came down to grocery stores trying to ban customers who don’t show proof of vaccination status I would stand up in a big way. Food is something we can’t live without.
Which continues to be odd since grocery stores are not the topic of this thread.

As for the actual thread topic, I have no issue with it.
As others have noted, if it makes it possible for that part of the economy to reopen, it’s a good thing.

They watch your social media and political leanings, etc., keep track of your credit and whatever personal stuff they can find. Flu shot? My former employer now requires it.

Now some random businesses will demand proof that you were stuck with swabs or needles to do business with them.

Don't think you know everything they know by checking your credit reports. There are the "other" reports available between businesses that fly under the radar of the public. I got a hold of one of mine and it was fifty four (54) pages long. As long as we let this kind of thing go unchecked in the name of free enterprise or whatever, then it will get worse and one day it will bite the people who slept through it or denied it.

I imagine people will come on here and gripe about it.

Oh and also? You need to provide us access to your MEDICAL information.

Do you not understand what loss of freedom looks like?

You could be 100% on board with testing and vaccines and UNDERSTAND that this?

Is a horrifying precedent to set. Do you see that? No? LOOK AGAIN.

Papers, please.
Anyone that studied World History in high school knows exactly what you mean! They simply don't care, they are willing to give up rights and freedoms to be kept "safe". If they were better educated and not parrots of MSM, they would already know what the issue is, and that this won't keep them safe. "Can't fix stupid."

I expect clusters of infection with COVID 19 will come from this venue, so people would be better off just avoiding it if they fear the "virus".

Good lord you act like they want to access your entire medical history.
Excellent points.

Cruise lines (will) require a negative test to board.
Airlines/airports are doing snap tests prior to travel.
Want to travel internationally? Better be up-to-date on all required vaccines.
Oh, and might want a passport too.

I don’t think you’ll see cruise and airlines do it for long. They’d rather risk occasional cases where someone gets or claims they got it on board than destroy their business. Because cruises last days vs hours they’ll have it a bit harder than the airlines but they’ll figure it out
