> For #2, if you have a medical condition that prevents you from receiving the vaccine it would require either falsified vaccine cards to show you as complying with the mandate. IMO, people with legitimate medical conditions should just be granted excelsior passes, the same as those who are vaccinated. There's few enough people with these conditions that it shouldn't be a health issue. Religious exemptions are the tricky one, since NYC especially has e.g. orthodox jews clustered together in their own communities. IMO, they should not got passes. If they don't want a vaccine, fine—they just won't be able to go to the movies.

Yeah, issuing the pass that doesn't differentiate between vaccinated and excluded would prevent almost all of the concern. Some people do have concerns about disclosuring health info to the government. Although the government could just buy the "anonymous" medical records and figure them out if they really wanted to. Yeah, religious exclusions get tricky. Really the whole thing can be tricky because it comes down to philosophical beliefs of what should be mandated and for whom. Edit: Why so many downvotes without reply?

The medical conditions folks should probably be staying locked down. The vaccines aren't a guarantee that people around you aren't contagious; just a low likelihood that you will be very contagious if you get it. If they're around lots of people, even vaccinated folks, they'll still catch covid and die

  If 99 out of 100 people are vaccinated, the remaining person should be fine. "Should be" is the key phrase here—there are no guarantees in life—but while vaccinated people can still spread the virus, they're still much less likely to do so. It's all a probability game. Add to this that the sole unvaccinated person is the one most at risk in any given setting, and I'm really fine letting them make their own choices.
