The Palm Beach Post on the Florida governor’s banning of COVID-19 ‘vaccine passports’:
Gov. Ron DeSantis says he is taking a bold step toward protecting personal freedom in barring any businesses in Florida from requiring so-called “vaccination passports”. As his argument goes, we don’t want another division in this country, this time between a vaccinated class that gets to go to theme parks - and an unvaccinated class that can’t.
The governor’s argument makes no sense. The issue before us is one of public health. And there is no question that vaccinations are the most effective weapon against COVID-19 yet devised. DeSantis, himself, has been vaccinated - although in private, unlike most of the nation’s governors, who know that modern medicine is nothing to be ashamed of.
