I agree to a point, but reality is none of the inter-country truckers ever crossed the border without showing "their papers", if proof of vaccination is another paper it's not unique. Anyone that has ever traveled internationally knows "papers" are required to pass.

Hedonist, I'd add that a national database showing peoples' vaccinations wouldn't be bad for all of us. The last I checked, if you were a U.S. citizen traveling in certain countries in Europe, you had to get COVID tests periodically if you wanted to eat in restaurants or even check into a hotel. They didn't require the tests though if you could present a digital COVID vaccination certificate. That's not possible if you were vaccinated in the USA though, as we don't have a national registry for vaccinations.
Many of us may dislike vaccine passports, but if you're subject to rules of other countries, like travelers and truckers, you're stuck with something like them.
