The Vatican will require all visitors and personnel to show a COVID-19 pass proving they have been vaccinated, have recovered from the coronavirus, or have tested negative for the disease in order to enter the city state beginning Oct. 1.

To enter Vatican territory, tourists and other visitors, employees, and officials will be required to show a digital or paper Covid Certificate issued by the Vatican or another country, according to an ordinance published Sept. 20.

4. You know where else this is required: The Texas Capitol...

Yep, we have to show proof of vaccination or take a Covid test before entering.

It's the only government building in Texas that requires it. Everywhere else is a free for all, but those damn Republicans in Austin don't want to catch it.
