MUSKEGON, MI – A comparison of the COVID-19 vaccine “passports” to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany and a tearful claim they would discriminate against mothers just trying to buy diapers led an angry Muskegon County commissioner to denounce disrespect toward people who have truly faced prejudice.
The public comments came during a Muskegon County Board of Commissioners human services committee on Tuesday, May 4. The board later voted along party lines to approve a non-binding resolution denouncing the idea of such passports that will be sent to the governor and state lawmakers.
