Um, I do believe you have this completely backwards...

The GOP is against the Vaccine Passport. In fact, DeSantis is passing a law specifically denying it's use in Florida...

I'd like to respectfully throw something out there for discussion and perhaps we can learn a bit from each other.

Our governor has said he will prohibit vaccine passports which would require us to prove we've been vaccinated in order to gain access to some businesses, offices, or restaurants.

I find it interesting because it speaks to how we all want the best for our country; we just approach it in different ways. Conservatives are not fond of government interference in general, but they support this proposal. Liberals are generally okay with government regulation but do indeed want a vaccine passport which DeSantis is opposing.

Just goes to show modern American life is not all cut and dried. We all have to give a little.

If you want to respond but feel the need to be belligerent or snarky, please move on to the next thread. Thanks.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Says He'll Ban Vaccine Passports

Think about it, you got the vaccine, you HAVE the card, just show it. Almost like getting proofed at a bar....prove your status.
But then there is the issue of losing the card, damage etc. ( I'm sorry, but whomever designed it wasn't thinking straight)...won't fit in my wallet, now thats going to lead to curled edges, putting it into pants pocket, purse pouch, all which will increase damage to it, or leaving on dresser etc,etc...all because of design. Maybe it should of been laminated like our licenses?
Better yet, maybe we all should be tatoo!!!!!
(Talk about stirring a pot)

Anyway way, got my vaccine, got my card...I'm proud and if you wanna see it, I'd be happy to flash you.😁

Also consider this; if you know anything about biology you’ll know that viruses constantly mutate and adapt to threats ie. Vaccines. And COVID-19 will be no different. So you better get ready for re-vaccinations about every flu season from now on.

This is nothing more than a garden-variety flu virus which many healthcare experts confirm. It has been used as a proxy for government to control every aspect of human life and justify their own parasitic existence. People wake up please.

To expand on what I said above, if an individual feels that they are particularly vulnerable to the virus, then why wouldn't it be THEIR responsibility to stay out of public places or take extra precautions such as double masking in order to protect themselves? Why should someone whose personal risk level from the virus is way less than 1% be prohibited from being in a public place just because some particularly vulnerable person doesn't feel safe?

Shouldn't self protection be the primary responsibility of the individual rather than placing the burden upon society to protect them by giving up their own freedoms?

I’m not spouting any nonsense by pointing out that the vaccines are not FDA approved but are being offered under an emergency usage authorization. That’s a fact, not nonsense.

Yes, the vaccines are allowed to be used under an emergency use authorization. But to imply that they are unsafe or that they have not undergone testing and review *is* nonsense.
