It was only a matter of time before some in our society turned the national COVID experiment into an excuse to say, “Papers, please.” That’s right — the so-called vaccine passport is now emerging in the United States. It’s an app that is advertised as a way to help people do the things they miss doing from pre-pandemic times. Want to feel completely safe in your favorite store, and surround yourself with others who, like you, have rolled up their sleeve and gotten the vaccine? There’s an app for that. Just scan your QR code and enter feeling sanctimoniously sanitized.

Commentary: Just Say No to Vaccine Passports
We all desperately want normal lives again. And I’m not talking about the finnicky “new normal” that accommodates Aunt Karen’s irrational fear of leaving her house. I’m talking about “normal normal,” where people crowd into concert halls with standing room only, restaurants operate crowded tables at 120 percent capacity, and cruise ship buffets shove food and alcohol down my throat like it’s Fat Tuesday, all day, every day. Ah … don’t you miss 2019? I sure do.

NO EXCEPTIONS
There's an easy-out on this "vaccine passport" crap, and that's "HIPPA",you know the part of the law that's supposed to keep your medical history private. Well, it can't be private if you're forced to flash "the card" now, can it?
ReplyDeleteIf they can circumvent the 2nd Amendment, what makes you think they can't circumvent a simple law?
DeleteIt's HIPAA not HIPPA
DeleteNope, nada, absolutely not, go fuck yourself, eat shit and die asshole are my responses in ascending order.

this America 2021, not nazi Germany 1940. the thought of hearing "show me your papers" makes my blood boil.
ReplyDeleteI WILL NOT COMPLY. even if i eventually decide to get the jab (doubtful) i will NOT "show my papers". any business asking will see my back side and i will take my $$ elsewhere.
I just read a couple of days ago that if you consider just faking the vaccine passport, by going on to the web, finding a reasonable copy of it, and downloading it, printing it, and filling it out with your name, you are breaking federal law, by using things like CDC, or other government data, which can land you in hot water, how hot I don't know, but I suspect that if the government decides to make the vaccine passport, or prove you are safe papers please a thing, then they will be looking to make examples of people who try to skirt their inhumane and unAmerican laws.
ReplyDeleteI know it has been happening a lot lately, but once more, I must simply say, Fuck you! to the Feds. No vaccine and no papers. The more I read about the vaccine, the less I find to encourage me to take it. While I don't want to die with Covid 19, I also don't want to die from some of the symptoms that the vaccine is causing.
God damn it I'm tired of this fucking bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAt this point ANYONE pushing vaccines has to die, period. Fuck this just say no pussy crap.
Noncompliance is a fine beginning. But do not rest on that; we must actively engage those who dream up such BS and deign to enforce it.
