[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. What's wrong with a vaccine passport? Countries who aren't yet vaccinated/don't have the luxury of having as much vaccine roll out want to ensure we aren't going over and spreading Covid. 
2. I hope this means that if someone is sick that they will wear a mask when they leave the house (have a cold? have the flu? and all the other crap that adults feel like they should come into an office building full of people with and cough all over us? hey, you can wear a mask now!)

Other than that, this isn't forever OP. Chill out. [/quote]

What’s wrong with separate seating for black and brown people? Apparently nothing. What’s wrong with mixing all unvaccinated people together? Apparently nothing.

Yes, masks when sick if people must go out is a good idea. Staying home when symptomatic is best. [/quote]

Black and brown is not a choice.  Getting vaccinated is.  My god I can't believe I have to explain how vaccination ignorance DOES NOT equal racism.[/quote]

Black people have very good reason to distrust the medical establishment. Vaccine passports do mean excluding a larger share of black and brown people.

Plus, they don’t consider natural immunity which is as durable as vaccine induced immunity.

“The good news is that the evidence thus far predicts that infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces long-term immunity in most individuals. This provides a welcome positive note as we wait for further data on memory responses to vaccination.”

NP here. That first article is no longer relevant. Speaking for DC specifically - there have been walk in vaccine appointments at Walmart, schools, and other community locations for a long time now. The gap vaccination rates between black and white DC residents is now under 10% and closing. Vaccination rates are HIGHER for the Latino population than non-Latino population. There have been public outreach campaigns on safety and efficacy to counteract the very reasonable generational trauma many black people have with the medical establishment. Bowser has done many things wrong over the last year, but DC Health is doing a very good job at education and access, so no vaccine passports do not disproportionately exclude black and brown people.

They exclude the naturally immune.[/quote]
