To me, this signals the beginning of the end.  Unvaxxed folks haven't been wearing masks anyways, so no change there.  Sounds like we are getting to the point I would like to see.  If you want to wear a mask, wear one.  If not, don't.  

Will be interested to see if Biden will go around without one now.  I mean, he shouldn't....  Right?!

Assuming the passports become a big nothing burger, looks like the end folks.  And by passport, I meant traveling within the states.  I understand each country requires different things and that's fine, but I shouldn't have to prove I am vaxxed to go to Kentucky when I live a stone's throw from the state line.  Or I shouldn't have to provide one to board a plane when people have been boarding planes the whole pandemic!

Assuming this is the end, it's been real, and it's been fun, it just hasn't been real fun...  Stay safe all and may God bless each of you!

If Pearl Jam follows Dead and Co and does this, would you still not take the vaccine?

Unless I am missing something it only appears that I need to be vaxxed to be in the pit, not enjoy the show from seats.  I was in the pit in Seattle in 2018 and it sucked.  Seats on night 2 was much better.

Now, if I had to be vaxxed to be in the venue........  Whew.........  Probably not, not at this point anyways.  Give me several years worth of data regarding the vaccines and my opinion may change.  Currently and for the foreseeable future, I am out.  No reason to.

What are they going to do with those who create the very easy fake vaccination cards? It seems dumb to even try to enforce this. If they aren't spacing out seating and it's indoors, the risks aren't really any different. Seems like a lot of effort for little reason. Similar to how I feel about vaccine requirements for schools. You just need to have a notary public signed document stating you know the risks and aren't vaxxed.

Hell Yes. Fuck everyone else if they want to put themselves at risk. I wish every place/sports venue would do this as well.

But what's the point? If you are at an indoor event and vaccinated, why does it matter if the person next to you isn't? I know businesses can operate how they want, but this seems like a stance that doesn't have a whole lot of purpose behind it besides appeasing the pro-vax crowd.

mRNA vaccines have been in development since the 1990s

300+ million people have been vaccinated

efficacy is 70% - 90%  
(compared with 40% - 60% for the annual flu vaccine)

what data could you possibly be waiting for?!

I'll be more clear.....
I know plenty of people with lots of disposable income who, for whatever reason, only travel to the same place or places year after year.

I met someone the other day who has lived in Nebraska their whole life, almost 60 years and has never been to the Sand Hills. He travels to other cities and states on a regular basis but not his own state.

It was not meant to shame those less traveled. Or those who can't afford to travel.
More It was aimed at people not taking advantage while they can when they can.

That being said, get vaccinated and be able to prove it when asked.  Simple.

I had this same sort of thought.  There always seems to be something shinier and more alluring in other places.  I always had the idea, it's here I'll get to it, but rarely did I.   During the pandemic year, my kids and I did a within state trip every week, to see all the oddities, historical sites (in MA, there are so many), hiked etc.....  It was great.  There is so much cool stuff around, everywhere.   Not that I don't want to travel abroad, but it's sparked that idea we've all probably once had to travel around the country and see everything.   Especially in the US where the landscape variations alone could take lifetimes to see.

I thought about the same thing. I just got a card with my first date written on it printed on card stock. No name, no ID information, nothing. I brought the same card back and they wrote my second date on it. Anyone with a scanner, printer and card stock could make one with minimal effort. If they wanted it for verification, they should have put a little more effort and thought into the card.
I actually thought I lost my card when I went back for dose 2, the nurse just signed a sticky note saying I had 2 doses and told me to use that. When I found it, I just added the date myself to the card.

You didn't know?  He/She/They got the shot and wear the mask to not be selfish assholes but in the same breath "Fuck everyone else if they want to put themselves at risk.".

Taking your kids and showing them the state you live in especially a state with so much history is a great idea.
I lived in Colorado for 11 years. Every summer I made sure to visit a town and or a part of Colorado I had never been to.
Turns out I've seen a lot more of Colorado then quite a few natives.
Traveling around this country is awesome. I've been to all 50 states and have barely scratched the surface.

Where's all my "the science" folks at?  Where's all the "Muh the vaccine is not 100% effective which is why I wear the mask" people at?  Seem like "the science" now says be Vaxx-ED or masked?  Golly gee, anyone want to admit the reaction to the virus was not a total joke yet, or no?  Sure hard to put the spilled milk back into the containter...
