I don't know. Don't they take your personal data ie name, address, phone number, date of birth when you vaccinate and put it in a database?
Cant you just tell them your name is Juan Valdez and use his card. Cant we all use the same 6 cards.
what database? who accesses the database? how many states participate in this database?
the door person at a restaurant, the clerk at a grocery store are going to check dozens of different unconnected databases for each and every person that walks through their doors?
common sense tells us that there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions of “legit” cards that were obtained and simply filled out with not difficult to find information.
then, they just take a pic of it and store that on their phone. there are few locations in the country that will not accept a photo of someone’s “card” on their phone as proof. NYC is the obvious exception to that at the moment, and the lawsuits against them are just starting to pile up.
someone at a restaurant, or a door person at a sporting event, etc. asks for “proof”, they look at the pic on the phone and wave the person in. there is no practical way for them to verify what they are looking at.
there is no way people in situations like that are going to either stop the person/line of people, bring up a computer search of some “database” somewhere that isn’t used/connected to all 50 states, to check each and every card.
the only chance this has of being "legitimate" on a countrywide basis is if they go to some kind of scannable id (not a piece of paper that is written on) that can be swiped on a P.O.S. system that checks against a central database (or a limited number of db’s) that’s used by all states...and returns a result of real/fake in a matter of seconds.
that kind of system is a very long way away, if ever (red states going to agree with blue states on this?) and by then a dozen or more lawsuits will have made it to the Supreme Court regarding personal health information, privacy issues among a plethora of other related issues.
