Because vaccine visas would be public, the information would be available, that's the whole point. that is why it can't be like a passport and the information in it is sensitive. And also, 3rd world countries wouldn't be able to access a computer and the internet to register and control? This is not a real argument. Who did they interview? My neighbour?
