'This is creepy!' Not everybody's on board with Andrew Yang's idea for how people can 'easily show they've been vaccinated'

The coronavirus vaccine started to be administered to people this week, and former Democrat presidential candidate Andrew Yang has floated an idea that he thinks might help get the country back to normal faster:

Is there a way for someone to easily show that they have been vaccinated – like a bar code they can download to their phone? There ought to be.

Tough to have mass gatherings like concerts or ballgames without either mass adoption of the vaccine or a means of signaling.

I’ve been tested at a photo shoot or interview and gotten a bracelet showing I was negative. Then we could interact more freely.

Yang is reportedly thinking about running for New York City mayor. Hmm:

Might want to rethink this one before running for mayor of the city with the largest concentration of Jewish population in the country.

Er, yeah. Probably not bad advice.

I know your heart's in the right place but trust me on this one, there will be a mass revolt among certain (and large) American subgroups if this becomes a thing. I think you know why. https://t.co/Ji6TE9qrt1
