It isn’t hard to make the case against vaccine passports: Requiring proof of vaccination is unnecessarily burdensome to business and a violation of individual privacy. It is also suspiciously similar to Communist China’s social-credit system. No sane person wants to live in a sci-fi world where you have to offer biomedical information to drink a coffee or enter a church.
Amusingly enough, liberals, the people most likely to support vaccine passports, have long made contradictory arguments. For years, we have heard Democrats insist that asking voters to present identification is a fundamental violation of civil rights, tantamount to Jim Crow.

According to progressives, we need ID for everything in this country except the apparently sacred exercise of our voting rights. Liberals pretend that asking people to get the same ID they need to do almost anything else is an undue burden to vote, even though non-drivers can get a government-issued picture ID in all 50 states. Yet now they pretend that using some cockamamie smartphone app dreamed up by bureaucrats in Albany or City Hall can be a requirement for participating in civilized life.

Every country in the G20 stipulates that all voters MUST present a government-issued photo ID when voting. The UK was the last country to adopt the regulation country-wide.
Our USA Democrats want to see your vaccine passport. But not your ID to vote!

Flip this around..
Prevent people from in person voting, if they don’t have a “passport”?
How is that going to work?
Joe will mandate the use of vax passport to vote
Can we self-identify as Vaccinated? :D
i guess that would mean no more mail-in-fraud then
