There are clear government benefits to maintaining other seemingly temporary things that became permanent (income tax, Patriot Act, etc.) that simply don't exist for something like vaccine passports.

I think the slippery slope arguments for same sex marriage are actually valid and I do think polygamy will be legal at one point.
I also have zero issue with it.
