People who've had COVID-19 vaccines should get a state-issued 'driver's license' to party, top bioet

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is ready to step out and party - well, almost.

The chair of the department of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania hasn't been to the theater in over a year and he says he's "dying to go." He's also planning to travel to Switzerland this summer.

But first, he has to sort out a big open question - both for himself, and for anyone he's going to share some air with.

"How am I supposed to prove that I've been vaccinated?" he asks. "What I have now is a CDC cardboard piece of paper, right? It's ridiculous."

Emanuel says it shouldn't be so hard for authorities to develop a reliable, relatively fraud-proof and secure driver's license-style verification system for gauging COVID-19 immunity status. Ideally, such a system could replace the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's white vaccine cards, which are both easy to fabricate and too big to fit in standard wallets.

You could get that done in Democratically controlled states but not Republican ones. The Republicans feel it infringes on their freedumb.
