Insurance cover may be impossible to obtain without certification of attendees and organisers.

Therefore, the earlier they schedule it, the fewer potential attendees there may be, who could comply. This is an argument for scheduling much later in the year, imho.
Realistically vaccination for our age group might not be available before the end of the year. I know there are huge discrepancies overseas between scheduled/planned vaccinations, vaccines stocks availability and actual immunisation count on the ground including booster shots. They have shortages of vaccines supply. Some people didn't even get their booster shots because they've run out of doses during initial rollout. There is also a lot of wastage and it's been a bit of a mess. I'm talking about the Pfizer one. Implementing any kind of certification at his stage is just going to gridlock everything making state borders control look like it was a walk in the park.
