Won't "vaccine passports" affect poorer/"blacker" people more (a la Voter ID)?

I’m saying that actions (even very good and logic ones like getting a vaccine) that disproportionately affect minorites and poor people have to give us a moment’s thought to not pile on another problems on those who, also, have been the most affecfted by theeconomic downturn.

And I’m asking you why vaccine rates are worse in minority populations and tell me how that relates to the ability of that same population to attain a voter ID. You haven’t done that yet and until then, the two things have nothing to do with each other.

@LauderdaleFort

My point is that if you, now, don’t have or have lost the vaccine card thingy and you need to get another one you’re faced with the same theoretical problems of getting voter ID.

What are you talking about? I can walk into Walgreens, where they have everything on file, and they’ll make a new one for me.
Lose your ID and see how much time and money it takes to get a new one.
Again, you need to actually spell out why “you’re faced with the same theoretical problems of getting voter ID” you can’t just keep saying it, you need to explain it.

@LauderdaleFort

There are of course issues in some places like price, schedule and location (and not a little political manoeuvering) but still, the practical issue is very similar,

When it comes to the vaccine, the price is free, the schedule is up to you, they’re open a lot more than just M-F 9-5 and the location is all over the place. Just about every Walgreens (and some other drug stores), mobile clinics, temporary clinics, even some major sporting events are doing them. There’s no shortage of places to get the vaccine.
