The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), On Thursday introduced a bill that could prevent federal government agencies from issuing or requiring ‘vaccine passports’, according to a copy of the legislation first obtained by The Hill is.
The bill, entitled the “No Passport Vaccination Act”, would stipulate that federal agencies could not issue standardized documentation showing that an individual had received a COVID-19 vaccine, and that they also had no evidence of a COVID-19 vaccine needed to gain access to federal grounds.
‘Vaccination passports will not help our country recover from COVID-19; instead, it will simply impose more Big Brother society on our society, ‘Biggs said in a statement to The Hill.

The legislation faces an uphill battle in the Democratic-controlled House, and Biden administration officials have repeatedly made it clear that they do not intend to support or be involved in a federal vaccine passport program, but rather to the private sector to address the need for any kind of documentation.
“The government is not now, nor will we support a system that requires Americans to have a credential. There will be no federal vaccination database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to get a single vaccination certificate. not, “said White House press secretary. Jen Psaki

“Our interest is very simply in the federal government, which is the privacy of America and that rights must be protected so that these systems are not used unfairly against people,” Psaki added.
Although no real vaccine passport system has been put in place, and agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have questioned their potential usefulness, conservatives have not been deterred from coming out against the concept.
Greg Abbott (R), Texas, on Monday issued an executive order banning vaccine passports, saying a system around those vaccinated against COVID-19 infringes on civil rights.
Greene, the controversial congressman whose conspiratorial remarks even drew criticism from some in her own party, called the proposal a form of ‘corporate communism’.
The opposition comes from the vote that Republicans are one of the least likely groups to definitely get the coronavirus vaccine. Biggs had earlier come into conflict with the mandate that requires Americans to wear masks or get the coronavirus vaccine.
Some public health experts have argued that evidence of vaccination is needed to make Americans feel safer because they can be comfortable again during the pandemic, such as attending large events or eating indoors in a restaurant. But business leaders are divided over the idea and hesitate to adopt a system that can discriminate against those who hesitate for one reason or another.
Scott Kirby, chief executive of United Airlines, said during an event with the Foreign Relations Council on Tuesday that he thinks it is almost certain that there will be a requirement to prove full vaccination to travel to the United States to somewhere like Asia travel.
“I support a kind of passport as a way to start opening up international borders,” he said.
“I think we are not going to do that domestically, and hopefully we get close enough to the herd immunity that we are in order,” he said. “I do not see it happening in the US”
