To the Editor:
I discovered this weekend that our local movie theater, The Gem, requires a vaccine ID to attend a movie.
Perhaps they haven’t updated their policy yet, since we all know by now that whether you are vaccinated or not, you can still contract COVID, and still pass it on. Hence, by requiring a vaccine ID, and not also accepting a negative COVID test, they are actually passing a judgment on those who chose to not be vaccinated, rather than instating an effective safety protocol.
Logically, a negative COVID test for all would be the only comprehensive safety protocol, as anyone walking in the door with just a vaccine ID could also be recently infected with COVID and not yet know it, and subsequently infect others.
Here’s to keeping independent critical thinking and a diverse source of media news coverage alive and well.
