Vaccine passports? I think it is a great idea! 
It is a good way to make sure that people have been vaccinated.
It just bothers me that a passport won't stop the spread of the virus in large venues.
Maybe not, but it will ensure that in all likelihood, the people in the venue care about doing their part to stop the spread of the virus, and should at least reduce the odds of it spreading. Being vaccinated doesn't mean someone can't get it, but it significantly lowers the chances. Also, people who are vaccinated are far more likely to comply with mask mandates and other such regulations, or just do those things of their own accord.
Besides, getting a vaccine is easier than ever where I live, so if people really want to go to those places, they can just get a couple. If they're that determined not to do their part for society, they can deal with the consequences. I know people who don't want a vaccine, but don't go out other than to work or buy groceries, among other things. They're fine with that, and I respect that. It's the crazies who want to have their cake and eat it too who are a problem. It seems likely that crowd is going to have more and more problems as time goes on, and it's 100% their fault if that ends up being the case. Oh well, it's a non-issue for me, so it's not my problem. I have my vaccines.
