That would slow down an already slow process. Think what it would mean if everyone going into Hall H has to be stopped for a few seconds so that someone can check their vaccination card. That line to get into the exhibit hall each morning would be really long if everyone stepping through the door had to have their vaccination status checked.It would be much more efficient to note it once in an attendee's profile. Then the process would be the same as it's always been for vaccinated people. You tap you badge, it flashes green and you keep on walking. For the people who have test results to show, it would flash red for a secondary. Or better yet, have the people with test results stop off at registration first to have their profiles updated.
NYCC is requiring proof of full vaccination, and it’s being checked at the door, not as part of fan verification. So I don’t think “it will slow things down” will affect thinking.
If you require everyone vaccinated you can wristband the first day, you keep it on all weekend.
I say skip the negative test. Either you are vaccinated and you can go or you are not and can't.
Well, besides kids, it also excludes folks who have legit medical reasons for not being able to get the vaccine. I'm not saying just immunocompromised folks, but I know someone who is allergic to so many different things, her doctor told her "well...you can try the vaccine, but for the first dose you need to check yourself into the hospital, we need to hook you up to a few IV's, and be ready for cardiac arrest." She was advised to skip the vaccine, needless to say. She's obviously a cautious person in general, but she's not a hermit who doesn't go out and do stuff either. I think CCI (rightfully) doesn't want to exclude anyone, and while the negative test isn't perfect, it's a viable alternative for folks who can't get the vaccine yet. See Lollapalooza from this past summer as a large, intense crowd (well larger than SDCC SE will be) that was able to safely happen with a statistically small COVID-positive rate from attendees. They had 203 people test positive for COVID-19, out of an estimated 385,000 people (more than double CCI's published SDCCI attendee number) attended the festival. They had (from what I've read) a similar tracing protocol with attendees as CCI is looking to do, and a similar vaccine/negative test attendee policy. IIRC they did have a large amount of attendees who WERE already vaccinated before attending, so that likely helped minimize the post-event COVID numbers.
