Everything I've been reading about vaccine passports include some reference to having a positive COVID test more than X period of time in the past as an equivalent to a vaccine.
That said, there are few (if any) reasons not to do both, so at least for now I'm okay even if we did only push for vaccines-as-validation.

- macintux 5y agoThe complications from the virus are nearly always going to be worse than vaccination. I’m failing to grasp your logic. Edit: Ah, perhaps you mean for someone who has recovered. Given the reports that vaccination helps with those who are experiencing “long COVID”, plus the added protection, I’d eagerly get vaccinated even if I had recovered from infection.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI would argue the opposite, and in fact this comment convinces me a positive test should not be relevant to determining immunity. A single positive result means so little, giving someone with your thinking that excuse not to get vaccinated just isn’t worth it. You “risk it” for others, not yourself.
