You do know there are places that are already mandating testing, right? Hawaii has been doing it since the state was reopened. It isn't a new concept. Having a vaccine passport would remove the testing requirement.
A national vaccine passport would do a lot of good to encourage people to go get vaccinated, and places that face capacity restrictions would want a system as well to overcome said restrictions. I imagine a sports venue would rather have 100% capacity and a mandatory vaccine passport enforcement than limited capacity.
Virginia is still stuck in group 1B, too. Our state and local leaders are trying to spin that fact favorably by saying that the states moving to open availability have less organized vaccine plans, less focus on marginalized groups, and less overall vaccine interest, so they are grasping for takers. I'm a 1B, put my name on the state registry months ago, and am still waiting for my "official" invitation from the state to get my first shot. Fortunately, some pharmacies are operating outside of the state system, and I found an appointment and got my first dose ten days ago.

Here's an idea, a certain number of flights are "vaccine only" flights. I wonder how comfortable anti-vaxers would be if they knew they were loading up on a plane with all other non vaxed individuals. For those that are vaxed, they get a nice trip with an immune group.
I say this half heartedly... but it does make you think.

Biden pushing for 90% of adult Americans to be eligible for the vaccine by April 19th.

My slow state only today opened up to 60+ years old. Hopefully a lot changes in 2 weeks.

How about vaccine only and no babies allowed? I'd pay extra for the latter!

See this right here is then problem. On one hand it’s “get you vaccine so we can go back to normal”. That is immediately followed up by “you have to keep wearing your mask because we don’t know how effective the vaccine is against all variants, we don’t know how long the vaccine lasts, and we don’t know if you still spread the virus once vaccinated”. The mask police are actively creating millions of more people not taking the vaccine. If your life doesn’t change for getting the vaccine, there is no reason to get it. And for someone under 50 without any pre-existing conditions, there’s almost zero risk of dying from COVID. And before you say that there are possible long term side effects, there could also be long term side effects from the vaccine. We don’t know yet. And I say this as someone signed up for their vaccine Friday. If you want more people to get vaccinated, tell them they can go out maskless once they get it.Lessons from Israel..
Herd immunity vs indirect protection:
A comment that would scare people about Disney's re-opening:
"When 60 percent of the population is vaccinated, it's enough for the infection rate to go down. This in addition to wearing masks and social distancing are enough to curb infection rates and reopen the economy," Balicer said."
There are definitely those in the scientific community who believe masks and social distancing will continue to be required with 60% vaccination rates. But doubtful the American public would be very tolerant of masks and social distancing at that juncture.

Are we sure that DeSantis isn't three trillion coronaviruses standing on top of each other in a trench coat?

For someone that continually downplays the numbers and science, he really doesn't want this to go away huh?

If they require a vaccine to go I will stop going. This is from someone who has visited every week since I was a baby. I am not taking that vaccine.

Thank God for DeSantis! He’s saved our state from the totalitarians.

Like I said in a previous thread, an Executive Order signed by Desantis may or may NOT hold water.......
Today though he mentioned how he will get the state legislature involved. NOW THAT is where the big issues comes into play and we could have a problem.
If the Florida State legislature passes a law saying NO VACCINE PASSPORTS there is absolutely NOTHING a Company Like Disney can do. Can they fight it, probably, I dont think they would though.
The States Legislatures hold all the cards here in FL and other states.
I am thinking more and more now WDW will NOT require vaccine passports. I originally thought it was a big possibility I have now changed my mind.
