I'd assume that a lot of it is the existing polarization over the issue. It's easier to lie and say you already had COVID, and there's a bunch of people who'd probably do so. (Plus a lot of people who don't even know they've already had COVID, because of asymptomatic cases.)
The state of medical records in the USA is... not great, so it's easier to show evidence of the vaccination that can at least theoretically be verified.
EDIT: man, the rapid-downvoting is even worse here than in the Apple CSAM threads. :D
- defaulty 5y ago> because it's easier to lie and say you already had COVID, and there's a bunch of people who'd probably do so. It's not actually. They're equivalent. The vaccine proof is PAPER which can be forged. And while evidence of a COVID19 test can be paper too, mine was digital.
- kemayo 5y agoIt's why I said "at least theoretically" -- the vaccine cards have a date and vaccine lot number on them. I'm making the assumption that this has been recorded somewhere, such that you could at least check that a certain batch was administered on a certain day to a certain person. Of course, this could all fail under the "medical records in the USA are garbage" issue. Still, if nothing else, it's better for proving it than "I took a COVID test at home, trust me".
