People will be restricted with what they can do in life. For example.....like to travel? You need to be vaccinated. Like to go to concerts or sporting events? You need to be vaccinated.

This is what I wish for.
That is an idealistic hope because you would need a bubble around the US. And a bubble around a ship cruise. And a bubble around all the cruisers as they went ashore. What would be the purpose of a cruise if you did NOT mingle with the locals? Maybe you could go to Antarctica without any stops and just look out at the glaciers? As long as the whole world is NOT vaccinated, when you travel, the risk would be high that you encounter some CV-positive people. Right now the medical experts are PREDICTING (?) that getting vaccinated completely protects you from CV. That can only be validated by time passing after most people in the US have been vaccinated and we have herd immunity. So to me, digital identification does not seem to matter much. There are other variables and some not yet known!
