You're going to get heavily downvoted, but I totally agree. The vaccine pass is a complete farce. I even have non-technical friends that have faked vaccine passes. For someone even remotely technical, it's trivial to Photoshop.
If only we had the same fervor when it comes to demonizing weight gain, we could save 10x more lives.
Despite having most of the world being under lockdown as well as increasing vaccination. Without those measures it could easily have been hundreds of millions.
It is ridiculous and baseless to compare it to obesity which is not causing any significant strain on the hospital system like COVID is.
Wrong[1][2][3][4]. I get that it may not be politically convenient for you, but let's not mince words: obesity is killing many more people than COVID ever did or ever will.

This is a shit metric, deliberately designed to mislead. The real metric that matters is years of life lost (YLL).
There’s also the massive costs to our healthcare system and insurance premiums.
Why is that ? Because obesity is not contagious and most people don't make decisions about what they eat and their activity levels based on choices other people make.
Really? Over 40% of US adults being obese[1] is not an epidemic?
COVID strikes people of all backgrounds not just those from wealthy countries who can afford to eat well.
