Is it really a surprise that the gay community would take the threat of a deadly virus seriously?

poke smot! said: I've been lurking in this thread for awhile, but felt inclined to break the silence to report on a developing situation that is controversial to some.
Most of the gay clubs/bars in Chicago have switched in the past week to "VACCINATED ONLY" venues that have entirely done away with masks, social distancing, and capacity requirements. This is a change from their previous policy where there was NO DANCING, masks on when standing, and NO TALKING TO OTHER TABLES. They were pretty strict about this.
As far as I can tell, this isn't happening at clubs outside Boystown, and isn't happening in other cities.
Anyone entering must show ID and their vaccination card (or photo of it). The lines for these places stretch around the block, so it would seem there are plenty of people willing to patronize these "papers please" establishments.
Taken a step further, a major annual event "Pride in the Park" requires all attendees to use an app where they complete daily health surveys and provide proof of vaccination/identity ahead of time. The app is operated by CLEAR, the same people who operate a privatized version of expedited airport passenger screening.
I'm wondering how many other places will follow suit, and how effective this is considering the potential for falsification of vaccination records. And, the general considerations around checking records and operating an establishment exclusively for vaccinated people.
The move to "vaccinated only" establishments took place over the course of a few days as far as I can tell, with many establishments making the switch (and leaving only a couple places open for the unvaccinated, following the "old" rules).
I don't see this policy being talked about much in my online sources, but we all knew the day would come where "they" might start doing this.
That’s fucking awesome. That’s exactly what I want. A space where the pandemic doesn’t exist anymore. Everyone there has taken steps to protect themselves and takes the virus seriously. There are a lot of people who don’t get the vaccine because they just don’t give a fuck about being infected. These are people who would go out into public spaces while they are sick. I’m just not gonna patronize places where these people are not excluded. I’m not really sure why people at a bar checking your papers is so strange. Bars have been checking IDs for my entire life. You can’t go into bars if you’re underage. Now you can’t if you’re not vaccinated. People under 21 are not considered responsible enough to be in a bar. The unvaccinated are similarly irresponsible.

Forging one is a HIPAA violation
Is it worth forging a federal form. I’d turn a bitch in in a heartbeat.

I know it’s a holiday weekend but the US only had 7,700 new cases today, which is the lowest number since the first week of the lockdowns last March. 120 deaths. Also the lowest.
All the clubs in DC are opening in two weeks. No covid restrictions.

I just saw an article about a new Covid strain somewhere I think Vietnam maybe? that was like highly contagious and has caused a huge outbreak.
The article went on to describe that there were already 8 different variants detected in that city, but this new one was way worse,.

Cool thing is the vaccine protects against variants because they all have to use the spike protein to infect us.

Maybe you could post a link to the article and someone could read it for you and tell you where the outbreak is located, and stuff.

It’s the India strain. Not a big deal if you’re vaccinated.
