This line of thinking assumes you can reliably separate people that have had covid from those that haven’t. In the real world requiring vaccines for everyone means vaccination of people that thought they had covid but didn’t.

Which I suspect may be the underlying reason studies are showing the vaccines are more effective than getting covid.

I have proof of infection from several tests. I’m starting to wonder why I can just use that instead of vaccine evidence?

You have evidence of infection from several tests, they could still be false positives.

Even ignoring that I t’s really difficult to have a policy around this because of how limited and error prone testing was early on. Many people where told they had covid based on symptoms or a single low accuracy test. Things have improved, but when you start talking millions of people being tested it’s really just a question of the rate of false positives not their existence.

How common are false positives? I had multiple different tests from different locations. Slow and fast tests. My tests were not early on either.

I’d rather trust that than my neighbor’s paper vaccine card which can be easily faked
