Watching the video won't do anything to shift that mentality.
It’s weird that they won’t spend 15 minutes to watch the video yet they can spend all day commenting on it and trying to denigrate those of us who have concerns.

I'm going to demand answers from the people who whined incessantly about "food deserts" five years ago who now think it's a good idea to make you show proof of vaccination before entering a grocery store. That's a promise.

It’s hilarious that you accuse people of seeing “boogey men at every turn” yet you buy into
“racism, climate change, equality...[and] women’s rights.”

I bet the same people who were concerned about food desserts were also thrilled about mask mandates and will be happy to go along with vaccine passports.

If you are in favor of the vaccine passport you do NOT "fight for freedom." You are against freedom.

Once again fake hysteria on the right, I guess that's all they have. Now that I think about it's all they've ever had.

The federal govt is NOT creating vaccine passports, they are NOT creating a national database! Some private companies may have policies to provide proof of vaccination for admittance to their private venues. This will NOT be common it will be rare. Some companies may want to create passport applications - this is called capitalism!

Other countries may require proof of vaccination - INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL is the mostly likely scenario. 95% of Americans don't travel internationally so it won't be an issue for a vast number of people.

Our country will be completely open in 6 months, the need for vaccine passports will diminish over time.

Pardon the interruption, please proceed with your conspiracy theories.

I hope you are right and all those wacky conspiracy theorists are wrong about this, I really do.

Of course this will just be a passing thing, like the Patriot Act.

Wait, isn’t that the party that “strongly” demands ID for voting, calling it “essential”? “Show me the papers” isn’t a factor when people want to exercise their democratic right to vote? Is it bad only when you can infect numerous people with the virus?

Anyway how does an unknown person entering a closed space supposed to prove he got the vaccine? Just by saying “I’m vaccinated”? Everyone gets a card when they got vaccinated, but not everyone has an ID card. In worst case scenario you may not be admitted to a ball game. It’s not like not being permitted to vote.

People keep making this same argument.

Forcing someone to take a vaccine into their own physical body isn't the same as requiring an ID to vote. If you or others can see this, then I don't what more to say.

I don't know what other mandates you're referring to, but I'm not in favor of many so-called mandates.
