> because it's easier to lie and say you already had COVID, and there's a bunch of people who'd probably do so.

It's not actually. They're equivalent. The vaccine proof is PAPER which can be forged. And while evidence of a COVID19 test can be paper too, mine was digital.

California has digital vaccination proof. I had a paper copy too but lost it.

It's why I said "at least theoretically" -- the vaccine cards have a date and vaccine lot number on them. I'm making the assumption that this has been recorded somewhere, such that you could at least check that a certain batch was administered on a certain day to a certain person.

Of course, this could all fail under the "medical records in the USA are garbage" issue.

Still, if nothing else, it's better for proving it than "I took a COVID test at home, trust me".
