Fauci says federal government won't mandate COVID vaccine passports

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview released Monday that the federal government won't be mandating vaccine passports for travel and businesses. The White House has indicated that any potential passports would come from the private sector, with little direct involvement from the government.

"I doubt that the federal government will be the main mover of a vaccine passport concept," Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, told the Politico Dispatch podcast.

Fauci said in the interview he believes "individual entities," including theaters and colleges, will be the ones to make the call on passports.

"You could foresee how an independent entity might say, 'Well, we can't be dealing with you unless we know you're vaccinated,'" he said. "But it's not going to be mandated from the federal government."

1. I agree with this. There are going to be circumstances that call for proof of vaccination

(school, certain types of employment, maybe travel) but most of daily life shouldn't require it.

4. Businesses requiring proof of vaccination will encounter fierce opposition from the usual crowd

anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, R governors, etc.

2. I don't think anyone will be forced to take the vaccine.

It’s not fully approved by the FDA. It’s an emergency use authorization. I think that would stand in the way of any mandate

3. ..Hey i think if you fly..and you show them your vax card, you should be rewarded...

..with a free drink or something else of value. Or if you shop at a store..or dine out... you get a % off your purchase.....

Dont punish those that dont...reward those who do!
