My daughter is being refused entry to a cat cafe tomorrow (don't ask) on the basis of the following:
Per the new Los Angeles City vaccine mandate, starting November 8th we will be requiring all of our guests 12 years and older to be fully vaccinated (at least 2 shots of Pfizer or Moderna, or 1 shot of J&J dated 14 days prior to your visit). Guests 7 - 11 years old must show a Negative COVID-19 test result or proof of their first vaccine dose before entering our cafe. The PCR COVID-19 test MUST have been taken within 72 hours of your experience time. Proof of vaccines includes CDC card or digital equivalent. You will be required to show these items, as well as an ID, before entering our cafe.

Never mind that five days after a first dose means literally nothing in terms of protectivity...
Full disclosure, I probably will get her vaccinated in the not too distant future, but as noted in another thread, I am waiting a few weeks to confirm there is no significant safety issue. Nonetheless, this kind of mandate is utterly absurd. I've opposed them from the beginning, on much more serious Constitutional grounds, and to see them backfire in such a trivially idiotic way is particularly poignant. Oh well.
