Ron DeSantisButtigieg hopes sailors will return by mid-summer The Hill’s 12:30 Report – Presented by ExxonMobil – World mourns the death of Prince Philip Trump gives Rubio coveted re-election in Florida‘s (R) executive order banning COVID-19 “vaccine passports”.
The main article comes because several governors have taken steps in recent weeks to restrict vaccine passports – documents proving vaccination to give people access to events with larger crowds such as weddings and parties.
DeSantis has a executive order in early April to prevent government entities and private enterprises from needing proof of vaccination. He argued that it infringed on individual freedom.
“The governor’s argument has no meaning. The issue that lies ahead is public health. “There is no doubt that vaccinations are the most effective weapon against COVID-19 yet planned,” the council wrote. “By preventing Floridians from distinguishing between who has been vaccinated and who has not, DeSantis says we should be content with prolonging the pandemic.”
The council noted that entities such as the cruise industry, sports leagues, theme parks and events could challenge the order.
It is also stated that DeSantis’ argument was’ strange ‘, pointing out that it is inconsistent with the premise of its entire COVID-19 response to date.
“The governor’s entire COVID-19 response is based on the idea that it is best to trust people to do the right thing without the government telling them what to do,” he wrote.
“Not here. Suddenly, DeSantis is not happy to ban the government from demanding a ‘vaccine passport’. He also does not want businesses to make the decision themselves,” he continued.
The newspaper said it would understand that the form of state and local governments did not require proof of vaccination, but not private enterprises.
“If DeSantis had only banned the state and local governments in Florida from issuing vaccination passports, we would have understood, although we may not agree,” the council wrote. “But DeSantis’ decision to also ban private institutions from claiming evidence of vaccination is just bizarre and it goes too far.”
The Hill issued DeSantis for comment.
Conservatives have argued that vaccine passports infringe on people’s right to privacy and the choice of whether they should be vaccinated.
