I am not here to win an argument. You can have your opinion, I can have mine.
When I said it’s not my opinion , I was replying to your above reply to my particular post (FBI waning link).
I am not saying it is right or wrong . Everyone will decide with their intelligence and tolerance of risk.
It is just a fact
Lol, let's just agree that some wires got crossed somewhere along the way. At no point have a suggested your sharing the FBI link was an opinion. The opinion came in with your prediction about WSOP participants and other venues vis-a-vis vaccination. And you also put forth seemingly inaccurate information about the WSOP proof of vaccination requirements.

But why should one care whether anyone knows one's vaccination status? Assuming one is indeed vaccinated, that is. I could see why a no-vaxxer could be ashamed and not want anyone to know he's an irresponsible fool.
I think everyone will have to get used to this new normal. If you want to participate in certain activities, especially those involving large gatherings, you're going to have to prove that you don't pose a danger to others. I for one have no problem with providing proof of that. It's no more an invasion of privacy than someone asking for my ID.
Some personal information is easy to get. Other personal information is difficult or nearly impossible to get (legally). My point was that I believe people are far too cavalier about making their personal information widely available and I put forth the theory that it may be to some degree generational.
As for whether Covid Vaccine status is important personal information, I will leave that up to others to decide for themselves. To me, its medical info, which means it doesn't belong on a platform whose sole purpose is to disseminate that info as far and as easily as possible. I will provide my proof of vaccination as required on a case-by-case basis.
And the "posing a danger to others" litmus test has been brought up before in various discussion surrounding Covid and it is really sketchy to me. The demonstrated risks associated with being exposed to Covid, especially for those who are vaccinated, are miniscule. If we are going to start throwing civil liberties and or the mere notion of privacy away in the face of miniscule "dangers", heaven forbid what will happen to our society if significant dangers come along.
