Listen folks....no one is asking you to get on that ship....the ship owners say. "Come sail with me, come aboard....but we have rules on my boat,many rules and one is that you need to be vaccinated "
See folks, see how simple that is....oh you don't like it....TOO BAD!!

Anti-vaccine-passport is not at all the same as anti-vaccine. Anti-vaccine-passport is about protecting freedom from searches, anti-vaccine is about protecting the right to be misguided.

I have a passport (blue thing issued by the State Department) that is required when crossing an international border. I have never been stopped on the street and asked for my passport. I have never been asked for my passport when entering a business in the US. Vaccine passports are being proposed for just those purposes - stopping me on the street to verify that I can walk without a mask and stopping me at the doorway of a business to verify that I can enter. The act of stopping me and asking for the vaccine passport is the search (or demand for my papers) that I object to.

If/when I am on a cruise and the foreign country I am about to enter requires a passport or a vaccine passport or the completion of a form then I will decide if I want to enter that country. I have visited countries that demand those things of people walking down the street and I was glad I was able to leave. I have seen what it is like - I don't want my country to take even one small step down that path.
