  1. It has become sad that a person’s medical privacy has gone out the window. Do any of you remember HIPPA law? I’m beginning to think that we are becoming a socialist state. It is now, do as I say or you will be cancelled. Very sad.

    • It’s HIPAA, NOT hippa. Secondly, if you fly anywhere internationally for the last couple of decades, certain countries have required certain vaccinations be shown, documented before you can enter their country. This requiring of vaccination is no different and is not a socialist state. Get off your high horse and quit bi*ching about it.

  2. As more businesses are doing this, I wonder if this is going to result in a big rise of fake vaccination cards. Some of these anti-vaxxers will stop at nothing.

    • Doug, let them! If you are vexed you have nothing to worry about. If they get somebody else sick who also provided a fake passport then let them get sick! They’ll deserve it, lying about the passport.
