Did I call it or did I call it?

From my post this past Friday regarding Minnesotans ages 16 and above being eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination as of March 30: 

I personally have not been in a hurry to get vaccinated, especially since my wife has been administered her two shots. However, with baseball season just around the corner, this expanded eligibility couldn't be more perfectly time. That said, if getting into Target Field requires some sort of "proof of vaccination" to attend a baseball game, I will abstain from seeing the Twins home game in person even if I'm fully vaccinated. There are just some overreaches I'm not willing to indulge.


Via the WaPo:

 

The Biden administration and private companies are working to develop a standard way of handling credentials — often referred to as “vaccine passports” — that would allow Americans to prove they have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus as businesses try to reopen.

The effort has gained momentum amid President Biden’s pledge that the nation will start to regain normalcy this summer and with a growing number of companies — from cruise lines to sports teams — saying they will require proof of vaccination before opening their doors again.

Hey, I get it. These are private businesses. If their criteria is to require proof of vaccinations in order to allow in large crowds to their respective establishments, they are more than welcome to make that their policy. But it is also my sacred right to tell them to whiz off and thus not patronize their business.
