    It’s my choice to tell you or not. I promise I won’t sue you for not inviting me

    You call advocating for the right to not be interogated to go in public "whining"? Left me guess, in addition to NOT being a leftist, you dont advocate a police state too?

    so, now it is the type of vaccine that matters, and not the asking if you have it.

    my how fast this has changed

    Serious question. If a conservative said the universe was yuge, you’d argue that it wasn’t, right?

    You, who wants the government to force these business to play nice is talking to me about a police state....how did so many of you happen to be born without a sense of irony?

    Then there is no value in being vaccinated so no business should require it.

    Every student at every public and damn near every private school in the nation must show proof of a whole list of vaccinations, why have you never had any problem with that in the past?

    Yes you are. Authoritarianism through corporatism is no less authoritarianism through government.

    And they can voluntarily tell you that your business isn't welcome there.

    Hnmmm lets see...

    You planning to spreading herpes, AIDS & VD amongst the customers? If so how and what kind of 'business ' is it your planning on frequenting?

    Ebola? Takes direct physical contact (like the others above) but after the first week or so if you did have it (and unlike COVID its not endemic in the US) the only business premises you would be entering is the local morgue.

    TB? Is actually extremely difficult to catch barring prolonged exposure in overcrowded housing with poor sanitation and in any event its bacterial infection and while vaccines exist /are being developed so far they're not that effective.

    So bang goes that analogy.

    The flu, yes you definitely could spread it upon entering a store etc so that's the only illness you've managed to name that bears any similarity to COVID albeit COVID is an entirely new virus and most customers in any shop will have immune systems that have been primed to deal with influenza (even if not that years strain) by repeated exposes in the past. And in bad years (ones with especially nasty flu strains) it may well be better for everyone if extra precautions were taken just like with COVID.

    Lastly, reportedly the law does not prevent prevent businesses from using other COVID-19 screening measures consistent with “authoritative or controlling government issued guidance” to protect the public health. So under existing state/federal guidelines for COVID-19 screening business owners can still legally require people wishing to enter their premises to;
    - undergo temperature checks;
    - wear of a face mask while on the premises.

    Or you could just voluntarily prove you were vaccinated and potentially forgo all that.

    No. Conservatives often make sense. Trumpists don’t.

    Yes there is. And yes they should. If you still don’t know how the vaccine works then you just don’t want to.

    So a tire shop should be allowed to demand to see HIV status.

    So one more time and I am out....Every student at every public and damn near every private school in the nation must show proof of a whole list of vaccinations, and none of these people whining now never had a problem with that...which proves it is not about being asked for medical information
