But maybe instead of flinging insults at those who have, you should be thankful others who assumed the risk to be vaccinated have substantially reduced the risk for those who have not.

Companies have already started to fire employees that won't take the vaccine per government mandate.

Just show the results of your antibody tests w dates. You may have to take the tests periodically to measure ‘immunity’. (There may be a different term .. we refer to titers).
Your immunity may not be sufficient for variants. Work with your doctors.

there is a app called gogetvax this will digify your paper card and then can be stored in Wallet on your iPhone hope this helps

Please give us the actual study data sources you are basing your statement on.

Thankfully, unless you're leaving the State of Florida and going up North or the the West Coast, you don't need proof of vaccine.

Just SO many sheep to shear!

Please sight the source of your information. Thank you.

You sure about this? Do you have scientific facts that you cannot be a carrier if you got a vaccine? We all know you can still get Covid after getting the shot, so you can be a carrier. I played in sports activities with over 300 people multiple times last year, and I found out my partner had covid. I got tested and I didn’t have it. Not everybody is going to get it and not everyone is going to be safe with or without the shot

Fair point. Nothing is perfect, vacination is one form of risk reduction.

It can't be effective until the antibodies start to work so vaccinated can still transmit the first few days. But their viral load is reduced and persists a shorter length of time. So they are less infectious

For proof look at the real world data data for states with low vaccination rates. Cases and especially hospitalization/deaths are significantly lower for the vaccinated.

More antiviral medications are nearing the end of clinical trial which should help reduce COVID anxiety.

The point is we live and you might not

That can be said from both sides!

Is there a way to get something like this through the agency that provided our vaccines ? Sumter County Health Dept, I think.

Will pictures on your phone be universally accepted, or will some places require the original paper card? There seems to be an issue with counterfeit cards

That is completely opposite of reality, and completely opposite of what recent studies (ie the Israeli study)have shown...

Are we talking "in Florida"?
