Now There are Whispers in D.C. That Biden is About to Issue Vaccine Passport Mandate for Interstate Travel
By: Kyle Becker
This is both a dire threat to our freedom and the imposition of dystopian government mandates and policies that are unconstitutional. They will also in addition to affecting our God given rights under the Declaration of Independence and constitution will damage or destroy our economy. Our supply chains are badly stretched and unless we end all restrictions very soon, a great collapse could well happen.

Now There are Whispers in D.C. That Biden is About to Issue Vaccine Passport Mandate for Interstate Travel
by Kyle Becker about 7 hours ago
The Biden administration is poised to make its next unconstitutional power grab in the former of a ‘vaccine mandate’ for interstate travel within the United States, according to reports on Capitol Hill.
Congressional Republican lawmakers are attempting to get ahead of the forthcoming expected decree by introducing legislation to block an executive order or directive.
“In a Wednesday speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), joined by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), introduced legislation that would bar the Biden administration from implementing vaccine passports requirements for interstate travel,” the Epoch Times reported .
The Prevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act, would “prohibit several federal agencies involved in interstate commerce and travel from requiring proof of vaccination: The Department of Transportation, which oversees the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), the Surface Transportation Board, the Transportation Security Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Maritime Commission, and the Department of Commerce,” according to the report.
“The federal government has no business imposing vaccine mandates on our people and our hardworking businesses,” Sen. Rick Scott remarked.
“The Supreme Court has already ruled that you cannot be forced to purchase insurance under the commerce clause. Why would president Biden think he could do so with a vaccine mandate?” he asked.
“Travel is critical to getting our economy fully reopened. America’s truckers, shippers, pilots, and delivery men and women play an important role in delivering the goods needed to keep our economy going,” he continued.
“Americans are sick and tired of the government telling them what to do. And the American people are more than capable of making the right decision to protect them, their family, and their neighbors,” he added.
There have been numerous signs in recent weeks that the Biden administration is poised to issue a vaccine mandate for interstate travel, even though it would be blatantly constitutional.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief of the NIAID, is typically the messenger that the administration sends out to prime the public for forthcoming extreme measures. Fauci recently supported a vaccine mandate for interstate travel.
“I would support that. If you want to get on a plane and travel, then you should be vaccinated,” Fauci said in an interview on the Skimm This podcast in mid-September.
“Fauci later clarified to say that the Biden administration is not extending its vaccine mandate to travel just yet, although it is under consideration,” NPR noted .
Dr. Zeke Emanuel, who infamously earned the nickname “Dr. Death” for his support of death panels in Obamacare, unsurprisingly also supports the draconian practice.
“To overcome covid-19, at least 80 percent of Americans need to be vaccinated,” Emanuel co-wrote in a Washington Post editorial with Cornell professor John P. Moore. “ We are now at 54 percent. Voluntary efforts have proved to be insufficient. It is inevitable we will need another mandate — this time for domestic travel by planes, trains and buses.”
Former President Obama’s Transportation Secretary also threw his backing behind the authoritarian mandates.
“The man who ran former President Barack Obama’s Department of Transportation thinks President Joe Biden is going too soft on airlines and airline travelers as part of the government’s efforts to get the pandemic under control,” Politico reported .
“Former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says the White House should push airlines to put a vaccine mandate on airline travelers in place,” the report continued. “If the airlines refuse, LaHood said, the White House should do it itself. What’s more, he contends it wouldn’t be a heavy lift operationally.”
“I don’t think it would be difficult at all. It’s no different than showing your driver’s license to TSA,” LaHood said in an interview. “I don’t see it as a bureaucratic challenge to the airlines. I really don’t. You got to show ID in order to get through TSA, then make it a part of getting through TSA — that you can’t get through TSA unless you show proper identification, your ticket and a vaccination card.”
However, such burdens on interstate travel clearly violate the U.S. Constitution’s “freedom of travel,” which has been widely recognized in the nation’s federal courts.
“In Kent v. Dulles , 357 U.S. 116 (1958), the United States Secretary of State had refused to issue a passport to an American citizen based on the suspicion that the plaintiff was going abroad to promote communism (personal restrictions/national security),” Wikipedia summarized . “Although the Court did not reach the question of constitutionality in this case, the Court, in an opinion by Justice William O. Douglas, held that the federal government may not restrict the right to travel without due process”:
The right to travel is a part of the ‘liberty’ of which the citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment. If that “liberty” is to be regulated, it must be pursuant to the law-making functions of the Congress. . . . . Freedom of movement across frontiers in either direction, and inside frontiers as well, was a part of our heritage. Travel abroad, like travel within the country, . . . may be as close to the heart of the individual as the choice of what he eats, or wears, or reads. Freedom of movement is basic in our scheme of values.
The Legal Information Institute also provides background on the “freedom of travel.”
The doctrine of the “right to travel” actually encompasses three separate rights, of which two have been notable for the uncertainty of their textual support. The first is the right of a citizen to move freely between states, a right venerable for its longevity, but still lacking a clear doctrinal basis. The second, expressly addressed by the first sentence of Article IV, provides a citizen of one state who is temporarily visiting another state the “Privileges and Immunities” of a citizen of the latter state. The third is the right of a new arrival to a state, who establishes citizenship in that state, to enjoy the same rights and benefits as other state citizens. This right is most often invoked in challenges to durational residency requirements, which require that persons reside in a state for a specified period of time before taking advantage of the benefits of that state’s citizenship.
Furthermore, vaccine passports would be an unnecessary and onerous burden that would fall disproportionately on minorities and underprivileged. The World Health Organizations has advised against ‘vaccine passports’:
“We have long been advising against using covid vaccination passports for international travel due to non-equitable availability and need for robust evidence for prevention of virus transmission post-vaccination. We have issued the latest interim guidance to all member states,” WHO chief scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan told Mint .
The United States, similarly, has disparities in demographical subpopulations’ willingness to take vaccines. As KFF recently noted in a report :
The CDC reports demographic characteristics, including race/ethnicity, of people receiving COVID-19 vaccinations at the national level. As of September 21, 2021, CDC reported that race/ethnicity was known for 59% of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (60%), 10% were Black, 17% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native, and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, while 5% reported multiple or other race.
The demographic breakdown can be vizualized in the chart below:
According to Becker’s Hospital Review , 12 states have banned vaccine mandates: Arizona, Arksansas, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
The Biden administration, nonetheless, has begun implementing travel barriers to those coming from abroad and for Americans on domestic flights that come increasingly close to ‘vaccine mandates.’ These new restrictions were noted in a September 21 article in the National Law Review:
The Biden administration will start requiring all adult travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of boarding their flight to the United States. This change in policy is scheduled to go into effect in November 2021.
With respect to unvaccinated American citizens, foreign national children who cannot be vaccinated, or individuals who obtain an exemption to the vaccination requirement, they will be required to provide proof of a negative test within one day of departure and provide proof they have purchased a viral test to be taken after arrival. Limited exemptions to the vaccination requirement will be granted to children, vaccine trial participation, and those who can demonstrate an important reason for travel and lack of access to vaccination in a timely manner (e.g., refugees from conflict zones). Furthermore, the CDC will issue a contact tracing order requiring airlines to collect certain contact data for all international air travelers, and the administration confirmed the mask mandate will continue through Jan. 18, 2022.
Critically, Covid vaccines have themselves become a major driver of the Delta variant.
“[S]tate-level data shows that milder breakthrough cases that do not result in hospitalization are on the rise among the fully vaccinated as virus transmission increases and vaccine efficacy decreases,” Roll Call noted in mid-September. “And they’re expected to keep increasing.”
Nonetheless, the great majority of those ‘at risk’ are fully vaccinated or will be within the next few weeks. The New York Times points out: 75% of Americans 12 and up will soon be ‘fully vaccinated,’ and 94% of 65 and up will be soon be ‘full vaccinated.’ 77% of all Covid-related deaths are in the age group of 65 and up.
Then there is the issue of natural immunity, which the Biden administration refuses to acknowledge, but nevertheless possesses scientific evidence to support.
“This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity,” an Israeli study’s conclusions read.
The CDC’s own figures estimate that at least 120 million Americans had been infected with Covid-19 by the end of May, thus possessing superior natural immunity. That figure can be projected to be at least 150 million currently, due to the Delta variant wave and the estimate that there are four cases for every one reported.
Thus, even as the survival rate for Covid-19 stands at 99.7%, the case fatality rate is likely to be much lower than is reported: It is approximately 0.5%. The great majority of Americans who got Covid didn’t even know they had it. Therefore, it is highly questionable that they need vaccines, particularly if they can produce antibodies.
Furthermore, at least four times that U.S. government officials lied to the American people that there would not be federal vaccine mandates because they are unethical or otherwise not the role of government.
The Biden administration’s federal vaccine mandates are thus clearly unconstitutional, ineffective, and disruptive to Americans’ way of life. This is either an oversight among presumably intelligent people or entirely the point.

Cutting off travel of unvaccinated will greatly aggravate this problem:
I don't know how much the federal government can do.
It’s all about executive orders and what the Supreme Court will allow. It will mostly affect air travel, Amtrak trains, and greyhound buses. It could affect truckers and cargo rail personnel and thus commerce as well. Post #1 would be compounded by this. At least the GOP has legislation pending to prevent a travel mandate and also to prevent the the OSHA employer mandate.
Well, Republicans in congress are doing their part to limit federal power over our rights, freedom, and liberty.
It’s time to wage all out unyielding opposition and resistance to the executive branch executive order using OSHA as a federal mandate . It is clearly unconstitutional under the commerce clause and separation of powers on two different levels, executive vs legislative and federal vs state and local.
Doesn't matter.
First, it's the airlines, secondly it's the destination country. They are all demanding the CDC card or a phone app proving vaccination.
To come back from Europe, one must take a COVID test before getting on the plane, boat etc.
We are just trying to catch up.
Don't want to play? There's always Mexico.
We should be leading the way! We waited too long.
Don't want to play? There's always Mexico.
Speaking of Mexico, why arent we demanding proof of vaccination from migrants?
The issue here as well as the seeded article is travel from one state to another, not international trips. This would apply to air, train, bus travel. It could also apply to UPS and Fed Ex planes, freight railroads, and truckers as well.
There was a proposal in congress to require illegal immigrants coming across the border be tested and vaccinated and democrats voted it down. They did though mandate that all Border Patrol agents be vaccinated in order to keep their jobs.
Uh oh....here comes one of those "pregnant pauses" I've been hearing about.
The point was that the airlines are already doing it and enforcing mask mandates.
Also there this gem from the article.
Public health rules were established by SCOTUS on 5 different occasions.
The liberty of many overrides the liberties of one person.
I'd say what happens in the cabin of a Fedex or UPS plane, stays in that cabin or railroad engineer.
Most truckers drive alone so what is the point?
Maybe we will boost the economy by building vaccine checkpoints at every street and highway that crosses a state border?
Do I really need a /S ?
Were we last year? Is it legal? I don't really care.
Approximately 41% of all Mexicans are fully vaccinated, but most of those people are not planning on leaving Mexico.
If any migrants have vax ID they don't get tested, the vast majority are tested by different groups at different times reporting to Texas, CDC and HHS.
Back in March the positivity rate for all migrants was 6% when TX was 7%.
Currently Texas has spiked to 12% while Florida dropped to 9%
12 million Texans are unvaccinated still, same as Florida.
But these are all snap shots that change daily.
Perhaps as my recent seed suggested,
they should bring back INS to man the current immigration centers and vaccinate all of them regardless of whether they
are sent back by Title 42 or processed by Title 8 whether they green card them or deport them later.
DHS/HHS/CDC/FBI/DEA/CBP should be consistent in their public health responsibilities.
That would free up thousands of our CBP paramilitary units to interdict smugglers and terrorists instead of
doing asylum interviews pushing paper and migrants around the border.
I would not be opposed to just jabbing every single apprehension with J&J as the toll for crossing the river.
The Supreme Court allowed states that power, not the federal government.
so far they haven’t talked about individual automobile travel. So, people denied a ticket at a bus or train station or airport will have to go by car or not at all.
Would be a Constitutional clusterfuck, wouldn't it?
And every Federal law is based on similar state laws and precedent.
There is no question about this precedent or the national emergency.
By tomorrow we will be over 700,000 deaths specifically attributed to Covid and nothing else.
Due to the myriad policies of different jurisdictions, untold numbers of Covid related death certificates
are recorded as natural, suicide, pneumonia, organ failure etc. deliberately obfuscating the numbers of certain states.
Possibly by the end of October, another 35 to 50 thousand will die.
Doing nothing ensures that the deaths keep coming.
Wow. I had no idea the death count was that high.
With three months to go Biden well could lose as many in 2021 as we’re lost in 2020 and Biden had a vaccine from day one.
Cargo trains and planes almost always have a crew larger than one. Truck drivers encounter people at load pick up and delivery and fuel stops. Soon we will all have a pill to take and this will be over.
a vaccine from day one that 35% of the country won't take
Isn't that what I implied?
pilot and co-pilot in a typical cargo plane, no more than that.
Trains, maybe one in the engine, maybe one in a push engine. Most of them are automated now.
What makes you think the morons who wont take the jab will swallow a pill
that's only 50% effective?
Because they already trust fish cleaner hydroxyclorine and imervectin?
That' swell !
/s
And the irony is that had Trump won the election the roles of many here would have flipped regarding the vaccine, taking it vs hesitancy.
So you have changed your position and realize that Biden did indeed win the election?
If they will take Regeneron they will take the pills. Simplistically speaking the pill is to Covid what Tamiflu is to other viral illnesses. The Merck pill is the return to normal the democrats want to forever with hold from us.
No
Trump actually admitted it in an interview with Hannity. Prosecuting attorneys have the best ammo ever for finally taking him down.
Well XX (as you can see) admitted it and immediately retracted it. This nonsense is so over-the-top ridiculous, one wonders how anyone would willingly put forth comments that make them look utterly foolish.
Simplistic would be the key word.
Once we start calling it the Biden pill, none of you people will touch it
GOP governors will get it to replace the Regeneron Biden is with holding from them. We want a return to pre pandemic normal and this pill is the ticket which is why the regime will likely try to with hold approval of it. The research into this Pill began during Trumps term. The Merck pill will make vaccines obsolete. The Dow was up almost 500 points yesterday while Moderna lost 10% of its value in the same day as the Merck announcement.
Biden was installed into the office. Trump was not allowed to win.
No, Biden whooped Trump badly at the polls...
*double nostril beverage expulsion*
That never happened. A change of about 40,000 votes in three heavily democrat manipulated states would have made Trump re elected.
Correct, the electorate did not allow him to win. The electorate allowed Biden to win by voting for him so that he would secure the majority of electoral votes.
That is how our process works.
A PotUS wins because of the votes of the electorate, not because the narcissistic, lying sack of shit uses his influence as the sitting PotUS to merely claim a win.
STOP IT !
Show us the cases of any hospital who has been denied Regeneron or Lilly products
or stop spreading the rumors.
Of the 2.4 million doses distributed by the US Government only 1.1 million doses have been used.
Several states have admitted stockpiling.
Florida admits ordering more than it needs by 30% per month. (per your own seed )
Seven Southern States account for 70% of all monoclonal cocktail orders from HHS,
only Florida has above average vaccination rates.
The same Shasta County HHS office that holds and distributes the vaccine
holds and distributes Regeneron & Lilly products as requested.
Vaccines vary by efficacy
Moderna 90%
Pfizer dropped to 77% without the booster
J&J has always been at 71%
Antibody treatments, Regeneron particularly, can reduce hospitalization by 70%
for those already showing symptoms.
The best Merck pills can hope for is 50% which is the absolute minimum required for FDA consideration for
emergency use.
SURE THING, PRAISE THE LORD and PASS THE IMERVECTIN
Embrace the least effective treatment, Merck, maybe 50% effective
instead of Moderna, the most effective vaccine and still the cheapest.
btw
The stock market is rigged, a legal way to gamble and should not
in any way shape or form be used to make medical decisions
by intelligent people.
Right there is the cause of most of the lies and misinformation being passed off as truth.
It is the unintelligent people who believe the lies and misinformation and in turn pass around the lies and misinformation to the other ignorant people.
And there are always those who will take advantage of those lacking any reasonable intelligence to fill their craving for attention.
And we see some of both here on NT.
along with their pockets
You got that right. All in the name of 'God'. That is always their way of justifying their bilking the irrational and ignorant.
Force of habit?
I never said make a medical decision based o. The stock market. The stock market is the only way other than precious metals and real estate to grow wealth and the working and middle class don’t have lots of real estate or precious metals. 60% of the adult population is invested in the stock market. I’m trimming my sails in the stock market slowly this year.
The Merck pill is for the already infected. It must be given within a few days to be of use. It is to covid what Tamiflu is to regular viral flu. Those it works on won’t need Regeneron or the substitute De Santis imported, thus reducing the demand for them. That’s a good thing
The best way to grow wealth is by hard work through gainful employment. Real estate can be a wealth multiplier, but not always. My home has increased in value by a multiplier of at least four or five times since we purchased it many years ago, but values can fluctuate greatly as we well know. The stock market can contribute to the growth of wealth, and it can crash. You cannot time the market. At my age and situation, I have no exposure to the equities market and have not for a long time. I would never, and have never, invested in "precious metals".
Work is great! I’m all for it. There’s still a need to put money beyond immediate needs somewhere. Bank savings money markets and CD’s pay next to nothing. Real estate outside of ones own home is not easily come by for many. Unless REIT’s are used. Anyone can afford silver. Retirement accounts, health savings accounts , and child education IRA’s are the way most are in the stock market.
Apparently you are unfamiliar with fixed income securities such as corporate, treasury and municipal bonds.
So, no peer review, maybe 90 days to rushed emergency use approval and must take pill twice a day
(for how long ?)
Currently about 1,400 people a day, mostly the un vaccinated in 6 southern states, are dying.
That's another 100,000 republican voters. It's a good thing the GOP doesn't care.
It’s no different than an anti biotic 2/day for five days. Not that hard. Also the cases in the south have declined greatly lately as we knew they would.
No I’m not. I have those as part of my mix. They are still in Exchange Traded Funds that trade on the stock market
Just another tool in the armory for the un-vaccinated masses, eh?
Find any links to prove that antibody monoclonal doses are being withheld from any state or hospital yet?
Some are acting as if the Merck pill isn’t a benefit to the people in our effort to fight the pandemic. It is. As to vaccination, it works for vaccinated with breakthrough cases too. The vaccinated people resorting to force and coercion are not helping to get people to choose to vsccinate. It’s slowing the effort as they dig in and double down on hesitation or refusal in response. The number of people being vaccinated per week had been going up until mandates from Biden came up, and then it dropped in response.
Just goes to show the emotional, irrational thought process of this group of people. (Speaking of the group as a whole. Some individuals have good reasons to not be vaccinated.)
It's not a benefit to anyone until its approved.
Got It?
And then it remains to be seen if the retarded anti vaxers will take it.
Got it ?
PLEASE STOP MAKING SHIT UP !
No vaccinated people were tested yet for this pill, per your own link.
#$@#$%^%$@&*()(*(^%$#!!!!
I don't think you deserve any more comity or civility than that.
You think it won’t be approved? Maybe progressives will treat it like hydrochloroquiene and ivermectin so that they can continue to try to dictate to others that they do what they want. On the other hand this pill is the ultimate solution to managing the pandemic.
The unvaccinated who can do take Regeneron. Why wouldn’t they take an RX that’s like taking an antibiotic? It’s use would be universal. And in future years it will be to covid what Tamiflu is to ordinary viral flu’s.
Cutting off of this pill will only deepen the resolve of those not yet vaccinated to never do so. Many would rather take a slight extra odds of death rather than be told what to do by the secular progressive elite left here.
The vaccine didn’t exist when those tests were done. A breakthrough case is still an infection. People who got the flu shot and still get it still can use Tamiflu. The pill contains an infection it doesn’t prevent one.
as to civility and comity you will get back whatever you dish out so that’s up to you. You though are a Moderator so it’s on you to act like a civilized human being and role model in your dealings here in order to try to establish some kind of credibility.
Most people do not like being told what to do. Nothing irrational or emotional about that. The emotional stability of some vaccinated people who act like as if the power they derive from the power to force others to do their will feeds their self importance should be seriously questioned. I think it funny the emotional breakdowns of some vaccinated at the ones who are not to the extent they would celebrate the denial of service to them should be questioned. As for the ones triggered by the non vaccinated, it’s entertaining to watch even though i’m vaccinated.
Putting your health at risk just to defy authority is irrational and emotional.
Lots of words and emotions, no meat.
No Surprises.
I didn’t put my Heath at risk. I’m vaccinated. I have no real fear of getting covid. I’m not afraid of the unvaccinated. I still try to persuade them though all the coercion promoters and control freaks out there make it harder to do so.
The liberal way!
I know you are vaccinated. I was not referring to you but rather to those who you were describing.
I have relatives on both sides. The last thing I’m ever going to do is use the power of the state to compel the reluctant ones to do what I couldn’t persuade them to do. That’s not my style of doing things.
If one of them dies from coronavirus, would you wash your hands and move on? Would you look back and even consider that maybe irrational stubbornness is not worth one's life?
And if I turned them in and somehow got government to compel them to my will against theirs, what kind of relationship would that be, if any at all?
What is the relationship if they are dead?
This Just in:
Two service members filed a potential class action lawsuit against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to attempt to block him from requiring all troops receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
Army Staff Sgt. Dan Robert and Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Hollie Mulvihill, who filed the complaint Aug. 17 in the U.S. District Court of Colorado, also want the Pentagon to create a vaccine exemption for those previously infected with the coronavirus as they already have “natural immunity.”
The two, who are both based in North Carolina, argue that the Defense Department’s vaccine mandate “is in open violation” of the rights of service members and is unconstitutional.
The ignoring of natural immunity and making those who have already had the disease get the vaccine is an asinine power and control trip.
There is no proven permanent natural immunity to flus or COVID.
Hence flu shots every year and we are already seeing studies from all points indicating the need for boosters for Pfizer & Moderna.
No proven permanent vaccine immunity either.
I got my Pfizer booster Thursday last week, and no one had to force me to get it, or threaten me in any way. I did it of my own free will, just like I did with the first two vaccinations.
My life is my own, and I do all I can to protect it and make intelligent choices in doing so. I don't feel the desire to listen to anyone else when making my own choices regarding my life and my health, especially, those who are nothing but a fruit and nut basket with wayyy too many peanuts.
I got the Moderna one. They don't have a booster.
I actually asked my doctor about it and he was all for it.
Would recommend it.
The Moderna vaccine is very good. The booster vaccine just has not been approved yet, but, as soon as it is available it's a great idea to get it. The Pfizer booster vaccine was ready to go when the booster shots were highly recommended by the CDC. So it was the first to be approved. But, the Moderna is not that far behind it and should be approved before long.
I only had some moderate pain in the area where I got the shot, and it only lasted for a few hours. I had no other side effects. Being able to get the booster shot at a Pharmacy at most drug stores is as real help. Sure beats what I had to go through with the first two doses in January and March of this year.
Like you I would recommend it, especially, for seniors. But, I made the choice to get the booster, and I respect that everyone else has the right to make their own choice.
2 out of 1.4million ... so far I'm not impressed. I'm even less impressed that you left out some of the more informative parts:
"The Pentagon has also made clear it would only require a COVID-19 vaccine that had full FDA approval, which the Pfizer shot received on Aug. 23.
But Robert and Mulvihill, who filed their complaint days prior to the FDA decision, base their argument on the Pfizer vaccine’s previous emergency-use authorization standing."
Good luck.. When I was in the service I can tell you vaccines were not optional. When you sign on the dotted line and swear the oath, you know this.
And you know that as of the minute you sign on the dotted line and swear the oath that your life no longer belongs to you, but, to the US government. It seems that today there are some who tend to forget that fact.
Good luck with that.
I would be fine with an antibody test IF and WHEN it is proven that immunity is permanent.
Til then, everybody needs the vaccine and boosters.
There is no permanent immunity to the flu, flu shots are effective for about a year and COVID is looking to be about the same.
They are delusional. They are government property and will obey orders or be separated at the pleasure of their CO.
There is no discussing the rights of service members, it is an oxymoron.
It's very easy to know those who have never served
And then there’s this game changer:
Right now, we are beating this here (CA). We don't need any more unvaccinated idiots coming here for their vacations. If we have to put checkpoints at every road from other states, then we will. Let them go to FL where they will be welcomed with open arms as Deathsantis loves putting his citizens at risk.
Florida’s cases are dropping rapidly as are many other southern states. Cases in the Midwest north and northeast are starting to go up. California’s and Florida’s cases, hospitalizations and fatalities per capita are very similar. At what cost did Ca achieve this parity with a state with far more seniors per capita? Lockdowns, crushed freedom, trampled rights, economic disaster? it truly wasn’t worth it. Which is why the rural valley and foothill counties and communities largely defied the regime here.
