Today Biden realized my worst fear.. worst president in fucking history.. He just announced today a "vaccine passport" where it can be freely used to discriminate against you if you don't have one showing you got a COVID vaccination. This means jobs can fire you, businesses can require it to enter, and it can prevent you from flying.

In effect it now encourages and enables business and entities to discriminate based on an aspect of your medical records and effectively provides a means to circumvent existing laws that would otherwise protect your medical records.

To add insult to injury we arent even talking about a normal vaccine, we are talking about the first vaccine in US history that was allowed to completely bypass the last stage of safety tests, which give legal immunity for the companies so they can not be sued if people get sick from the vaccines. So in effect they have set up a situation where you are forced to take a drug that didnt pass full safety tests, against your will, and be excluded from the whole of society if you dont.

@freemo I don't think that's right about this being the first vaccine in US history to bypass the last stage, considering that vaccination predates the existence of the FDA by over 100 years.

@freemo Also worth noting that this is not exactly unprecedented, considering that many schools / school systems require up-to-date vaccinations for students.

@swiley

private schools almost never require vaccination data too.

@pganssle

@freemo @swiley Similarly you can choose to not work at or patronize places that require a vaccine passport, no?

@pganssle

Sure, in the same sense that during segregation black people could have always just go to a different resteraunt, or found a different bus... sorry but that logic is pretty horrific.
