NY has the “Excelsior Pass Plus” that can also include recent CoV test results.
In my experience only high end restaurants, union industries, and major public institutions are requiring either, but the number and type of venues is increasing.
Both types are publicly funded apps for both the QR pass and reader apps, and they have data privacy terms that I think most of the HN crowd would find palatable.
One can debate the effectiveness of the mandates in NY, but the state did play a reasonably proper role in providing the tech to facilitate it.
And yes, anyone can create and sign a SHC, but the VCI initiative is trying to create trust networks so that only certain signing keys may be considered valid. Not moving fast enough there, IMO.
