And what is the proposed solution to this? Require everyone to carry vaccination documents and show them to any other person who challenges them?

Since the unvaccinated are only a threat to other unvaccinated people, it would seem easiest for all unvaccinated people who are concerned about the situation to do their best to protect themselves. This would mean: (1) avoiding other people, (2) wearing masks, and (3) getting vaccinated as soon as possible. Which are exactly the same recommendations that have been out there for months and months.

Note that there has been NO CHANGE to recommendations for unvaccinated people.

If your worry is that some unvaccinated person will pretend to be vaccinated, you can't hold a truly vaccinated person responsible for that. That's like saying your neighbor to the south has too many children so you're going to castrate your neighbor to the north who has none.

If you want to control the problem, it never works to bring your wrath down on those who are not part of the problem. Not only does this not work, but it irritates those that are not part of the problem, and then your situation will typically get even worse. Vaccine passports are a perfect example of this. You want to see the situation degrade, just try requiring those.
