Should the government issue vaccine passports?

Vaccine passports offer proof of immunity to people who have been inoculated with a vaccine. The concept gained traction after 2 vaccines were introduced to help combat the Coronavirus pandemic in November 2020. A vaccine passport would allow individuals to stop wearing masks if they could they have been inoculated and so aren’t a risk to others. Countries could require foreign visitors to have the passports in order to cross their border and restaurants, theaters and offices may make them mandatory in order to enter their premises. More than a dozen countries including Ghana and Nigeria currently require proof of vaccination against yellow fever before they are issued a visa.

No, vaccines should be entirely personal choice. It is fair for a company to require vaccination or for airlines to restrict travel but there should be no vaccine requirement, that interferes with a person's autonomy.

 @8Q272XN from Maryland  answered…5yrs5Y

No, multiple cases of individuals being reinfected by COVID-19 have been confirmed and thus immunity passports are meaningless.

 @Juminsel from Oklahoma  answered…5yrs5Y

No, this too easily slides into regulating all facets of an individual's life.

 @8QQN4TH from California  answered…5yrs5Y

NO. Vaccinations should not be mandatory, it is a violation of of human rights and the Nuremberg Code. Many people are frightened of vaccinations, and rightly so, they should have the right of choice. Further, if vaccinations are forced (mandatory) and vaccination companies are not held liable for the safety of their products, it is even more abominable and DRACONIAN to force someone to accept a vaccination. It is downright morally reprehensible.

 @8QKRFD7 from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

No, the government should not restrict movement on any basis

 @8QKFZQ9 from Virginia  answered…5yrs5Y

 @8QK956V from Tennessee  answered…5yrs5Y

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
