We’re hearing a lot about “vaccine passports,” and just the other night on CNN, Dr. Leana Wen fretted that the window to incentivize people to get the coronavirus vaccine was narrowing because states like Texas and Mississippi were already opening up. “If everything is reopened, what’s the carrot going to be?” she asked. In other words, the government needed to repress people’s freedom to encourage them to vaccinate.
Larry the Cable Guy says he was just looking for the forecast when the Weather Channel reminded him to safeguard his COVID-19 vaccination card: that card “could be your ticket to freedom.”
Uh.. all I wanted was the forecast. Hey Weather Channel, our ticket to freedom by the way is The Bill of rights. pic.twitter.com/ZIXdBQ0bWL

I heard they were gonna suspend the Bill of Rights, just until they get Rona under control. Then they'll give it back to us, scout's honor.

I can't believe it's the Weather Channel of all things.

Got this notification too. Immediately made me grateful to live in Alabama where we tend to ignore such ridiculous notions as the waiting for the government to grant us permission to venture into public.

How do I get a “I survived COVID” card?
— Emily Nissen (@MrsEmilyNissen) April 3, 2021
Covid vaccine card. ID required to get.
Politicians: We love this!Require ID to vote?
Politicians: Voter Suppression!!!?

If the vaccines work as they say, the vaccinated have nothing to worry about being around the unvaccinated. The unvaccinated made a choice to risk it. I decided to get the shot. By now, most of the high risk people have been vaccinated if they chose to. Open things back up.

They talk as if they decide who is free or not.
Maybe they have a point in that most of us are restricted by them. They are the only thing between us and freedom.

Nothing in the bill of rights prohibits a vaccine requirements.

No but show me where you lose freedom of movement and can’t participate in society without one. You don’t. You better foreshadow real hard what you’re allowing to happen.
— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) April 2, 2021
Calling it “your ticket to freedom” acknowledges that your freedoms have been taken away. And the CDC is still saying you have to wear a mask and socially distance even if you’ve been vaccinated.
