No argument there. Even with that, there’s still the very human process of checking, which still ends up being ministerial (especially if they’re having to check people against photo ID’s, etc—I look nothing like my drivers license, especially when I forget to shave).
Things will get better on that front (more and more places seem to be adopting the SMART Health Card framework, and mobile drivers licenses are becoming more common) but that’s going to take time.
Every little bit counts though, and if some mandates are less enforced (or not enforced at all) that still sends a general message. The really important point is that the ultimate target of the mandates is the individual, not the business. To the extent that it really matters, individuals who openly defy vaccination mandates will get caught, especially when we take underlying controls into account (cell phone data, credit card transactions, security footage, etc). We will certainly be able to trace outbreaks back to unvaccinated individuals, as needed.
