Those with proof of vaccination being able to opt out. One way to get around the pesky problem of government mandates.
A health crisis requires testing and monitoring. For public safety of course.
Heard this great idea somewhere, wish I could give them credit.

The more who opt out via vaccination less to test.
Leave the military out of this.

There are plenty of other problems implementing your idea, if you merely pause and think a bit.

(11,915 posts)Government employee (GE) knocks on residents door
Are you vaccinated ?"
Resident "None of your business"
GE "You are required to get tested 3 times a week. I have a list of nearby testing locations"
Resident. " Like hell I am. Get off my property " Slams door
GE knocks on door again. Resident refuses to answer.
Then what?

(922 posts)But after 18 months of dealing with a average of 2000 people per day I'm beyond being tolerant.
To participate in society requires all of us to think of others. Our actions should not impact others rights to live in a safe environment.
Covid has upended everyones life. Its time to make those who refuse to be vaccinated ostracized and suffer some inconvenience.
Of course there will always be exceptions. Immunity compromised individuals, and children. I'm sure there are others that for some reason are unable to get vaccinated.
The point is giving money, free beer or whatever isn't working. And I'm tired and burned out from the daily bullshit.

(20,841 posts)They toyed with the idea but infections have been low through out with only one death. They seem to be counting on mandatory masks and high vaccination rates (But not mandatory vaccinations.)

The swabs are being produced by the conspiracy as part of the genocidal plot.
