Gov. McMaster: Vaccine passports have no place in SC. Republican congressmen agree
The State ^ | 4/2/2021 | BY EMILY BOHATCH

S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster and several members of the state’s congressional delegation spoke out this week against requiring U.S. residents to obtain “vaccine passports,” or documentation proving they had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Thursday afternoon, McMaster tweeted that the documents “will have no place in South Carolina.”

“The very idea is un-American to its core,” McMaster tweeted.

By early Friday afternoon, five of South Carolina’s six Republican congressmen signed a letter in support of McMaster’s stance. The letter was signed by U.S. Reps. Jeff Duncan, R-Laurens; Nancy Mace, R-Daniel Island; Ralph Norman, R-Rock Hill; William Timmons, R-Greenville; and Joe Wilson, R-Springfield.

In the letter, the congressmen said they have “grave concerns” about the practice of using vaccine passports.

Just asking here....this vaccination ‘passport’....could it be used for voting purposes as well?

It can be used to infringe or/and inhibit anything; hence, why the serious pushback against ‘passports’ as it directly pertains to individual and collective civil rights infringements’.

I’m sure Stacey Abrams will scream loudly if they attempt to put a requirement in Georgia...

Requiring vaccination info seems to be in violation of my HIPA agreement.
