We should mandate that Tinder and other dating sites force people make their current STD test results and last date of testing public on their online dating profiles. Porn performers have to do it in California, and sex workers in Australia, so there's no reason why college students here shouldn't have the same requirement. It's already normal in some places. Then keep a list of anyone who declines, because putting people at risk like that is unethical, surely. That is a poor argument, but one of the same quality as the comment it responds to.
We have never had to show a compliance document to eat in restaurants. Even the age of majority for alcohol was a single event, and not an ongoing compliance test. Equating transportation, restaurants, private employment, and cultural venues - to schools kids are forced into, is a false equivalence.
Get a vaccine, and whether someone else has or hasn't is not anyones business.

Exactly this. It either works or it doesn’t. If it does, we don’t need to worry about anyone else’s vaccine status. If it doesn’t, then people are taking an unnecessary risk by getting it.
I am against the mandates, and I am vaccinated. Whether or not to get it should be a very nuanced decision, based upon the specific adverse reaction and breakthrough infection statistics for a given person’s age and underlying health conditions vs the COVID statistics for the person. If the CDC had any desire to be honest, they would have an online calculator that would ask a few questions about BMI, age, etc., and then it would tell you the your specific odds of being killed/injured by the vaccine (with the odds of dying from COVID despite being vaccinated factored in) vs the odds of catching and then dying from COVID unvaccinated.
Instead, it has become a test of wills. Tests of wills have historically not played out well at a national level in “free” countries.
This is ridiculously black and white thinking. It's like saying "Oh, you support seatbelts? Well how would you like it if the government had a camera in your house to make sure you're wearing PPE every time you use the table saw!"

If only that were true. Unfortunately I don't like lockdowns and new and exciting COVID "variants".
