Instead I have a piece of shit paper document from the CDC that isn't even a standard business/credit/debit card size (!) so it is already in tatters, with a grease stain (my dynamic life has failed me). Nowhere even asks for it, so enforcement is a failure in and of itself. The vaccine should be mandatory and there should be a sleek digital pass so I can not have one extra piece of paper to carry around because of inept structural decisions around how to implement a post-pandemic lifestyle. So stupid, I don't know how these social planners have jobs.
I would be glad to show something like that to every store and restaurant - I explicitly do not want to give ANY store my phone number or any other information at all. I explicitly WISH TO tell the store that I am vaccinated with Moderna as of 2 weeks or more ago.
There are ways to do it reasonably correctly, but local bureaucratic bullshit will happen and what will appear is some kind of online-only spyware app that contains PII/PCI data encoded into your QR code.
Flagging for the clickbaity, and misleading title.
