I'll have to check but I believe that's about the same national percentage for annual flu shots.

As for the thread topic, I don't want to be in the home of, or even around, anyone that wants to see a damn vaccination record from me.

Hypochondriacs are really annoying to be around and this panic-demic has made them even more irrational and annoying.

People in this country have lost their damn minds.

Now there's a scary thought.

If that thought process makes you happy, then by all means, go with it.
Personally, I quit passing on my genes decades ago. So yeah, when I'm gone, I'm pretty sure I'll be taking what genes I have left with me.

This thread and it's responses just prove the point that we're separating ourselves by choice. We've always done things like that.
Just as randye points out his own attitude below, that home owner has a right to who he invites into his home. But then, so do the owners of business (for safety and health reasons). Kind of like No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service rules. I would make exceptions to that for some, not so much for others.

We make decisions for our own reasons, right or wrong. A racist won't be invited into my own home whether that person is vaccinated or not. But then, COVID vaccination is not something I ask folks about. I have never asked someone to see their COVID vaccination card but if asked, I'm very willing to pull mine out of my wallet to show my card.
Some folks get upset over the silliest things. But, that's also their right.

I'm not "upset" about any of that in the least Ron.

I also don't know how we suddenly jumped from medial treatments to racism, but as my Grandkids say; whatever


I do indeed make my decisions for my own reasons and the reason I detest being around hypochondriacs and mysophobiacs is based on long experience.

In far too many otherwise pleasant social situations once a hypochondriac discovers that you are in any way involved in a medical profession they will invariably bend your ear incessantly with a long list of their real and imagined maladies and long boring stories of their treatments. If you respond in any way they take it as license to continue on for hours.

It's mostly women, especially mature women, but an increasing number of beta males are proving to be hypochondriacs as well.
