For many, one question came to mind, and that’s “what could possibly go wrong?”

I…have a lot of questions. Seriously, I can’t possibly be the only person who can see the wider negative implications of such proposals. I mean, what can even possibly go wrong? https://t.co/nIfXZBvVoS

And if they don't have the certificate arrest them? https://t.co/5t8kqeeKJ9

A government official is pondering whether to designate or mark certain individuals as being allowed to engage in commerce or not? What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/iQIPZaDj1I

Some response from government officials is getting way too Orwellian for a lot of people:

what is it about bureaucrats that love to track people?

I think the quarantine has messed with even the best minded people. Come on…now I have to say I'm card carrying coronavirus survivor.

The idea of kissing my ass also has merit. https://t.co/evsKcBp5iH

This has a dystopian feel to it. Americans being forced by the government to carry papers? That would set a very dangerous precedent. https://t.co/ibQF2oU548

Freedom papers is a bad idea. https://t.co/37rx2NMlNI

Why not just issue little yellow stars that we can pin to our lapel? https://t.co/ytpftMPcDg

Fuuuuuuck that. OMG.

This is brilliant. Everyone should carry around these papers in case the government wants to see them. Or we can take anyone who won’t vaccinate and give them some kind of marker to wear. Maybe even isolate them all in one specific part of town so we know who the undesirables are https://t.co/bl83HydXUf

Let’s just say the idea Dr. Fauci’s entertaining might not be universally accepted.
