So I guess another approach that would make vaccine passports palatable to everyone would be if we just went ahead and gave everybody something similar to the Excelsior pass (either on their phone or printed), where we’d attempt to implement that underlying logic of “x% vaccinated or y% capacity” in real time. The venue would stop allowing new people in when neither of those conditions are met, and nobody would see anybody’s personal information. And it would take away any motive for the prospective attendee to cheat. This could also be leveraged for contact tracing, and perhaps the expectation would be that you get a test if you don’t feel well, or if a contact tracer tracks you down.
I don’t think it would be too difficult to deploy something like this (all-in-one contact tracing/vaccination tracking/compliance app)
