I didn't claim no other groups use state power to ban things. I'm pointing out that the idea that conservatives are uniquely and generally opposed to it is fantasy.
On that we can wholeheartedly agree.
I got my vaccine certificate from CVS. the state had very little to do with it.
The State of California automatically issued digital vaccine certificates. Basically QR codes that could be read by a business with the appropriate hardware.
The state offered them, but they weren't the only way to get one. Any SMART compliant digital card (which most major healthcare providers and chain pharmacies provide) will pass verification anywhere a CA state one would.
Which part is not real? The vaccinations? Their effect on spread? Their effect on symptoms?
