Vaccination Passport not immunity Passport

An immunity passport or vaccine passport, also known as an immunity certificate,[1] recovery certificate[2] or release certificate[3] is a document, in both paper and digital format, attesting that its bearer is immune to a contagious disease.[4] Similar to quarantine, public certification is an action that governments can take to mitigate an epidemic.[5]

restricting social, civic, and economic activities, immunity passports may "compound existing gender, race, ethnicity, and nationality inequities.

Principle: It is not fair to not have a passport it would be disproportionate to deprive immune persons – who can neither infect themselves nor others – of their basic freedoms.

Fatuous arguments. What if we had the same thing for obesity
