Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is ready to step out and party - well, almost.
The chair of the department of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania hasn't been to the theater in over a year and he says he's "dying to go." He's also planning to travel to Switzerland this summer.
But first, he has to sort out a big open question - both for himself, and for anyone he's going to share some air with.
"How am I supposed to prove that I've been vaccinated?" he asks. "What I have now is a CDC cardboard piece of paper, right? It's ridiculous."
Emanuel says it shouldn't be so hard for authorities to develop a reliable, relatively fraud-proof and secure driver's license-style verification system for gauging COVID-19 immunity status. Ideally, such a system could replace the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's white vaccine cards, which are both easy to fabricate and too big to fit in standard wallets.
Yeah, the cardboard cards are a stupid size and shape. You can't carry them with you easily.
I don't know that we need something like that unless it's for travel, and that would, I assume, be controlled by the federal government just like passports are... but getting a regular driver's license can be a royal PITA, so I can't even imagine what it would be like for everyone to descend upon the DMV to try to get a different little symbol on their licenses next to the star.
Soooo when the states are issuing these official covid vaccine cards can they also issue voter ID cards?
In his own words "Emanuel says it shouldn't be so hard for authorities to develop a reliable, relatively fraud-proof and secure driver's license-style verification system for gauging "voting" status."

I agree.
If you need a state issue ID card to prove you're vaccinated to rejoin normal activities [like going to the cinema] I'm awaiting what blue states will say for voter id cards

I don't think they will. They won't make the connection between voting and vaccination. Different agendas.
We are told that requiring any type of ID 'disenfranchises' people. Except vaccination IDs disenfranchise the unvaccinated. And it won't stop with vaccinations. Incrementally, they will add more health data to these IDs, and each step along the way finding a 'public health' reason for it.
