Coronavirus vaccine passports would be a draconian disaster

The Biden administration is reportedly working with technology and travel companies to develop coronavirus vaccine passports that would show proof of vaccination as the country begins to return to normal. It is not clear how often these credentials would be required, if at all, but at this point, we should assume the worst.

Stadiums, concert venues, movie theaters, offices, and even other countries may start requiring proof of vaccination, according to CNN. And that’s just the start. If the federal government pressures private businesses, such as restaurants, to begin requiring vaccine passports, they will have no choice but to comply. This last year in lockdown has proven as much. In other words, the federal government is going to make sure our everyday lives are still consumed by the coronavirus pandemic long after the crisis has passed.
