Come on, as a MD you have to know better than that. What is the point of a worldwide vaccination program that does not curb the spread of disease. Are we just protecting individuals one at a time??? What kind of vaccine raises antibodies to a virus but the person can still catch the disease and spread it??? Again, it seems to come down to one article that questioned whether a vaccinated individual could temporarily harbor enough virus in their nasopharynx to spread COVID for a short time. And the authors were simply questioning it and suggested more research is needed.

But the reasons I oppose a "vaccine passport" were listed explicitly in a previous post
