Idiots of the Week: 4 Governors About a Vaccine

 This week's BUNCH of idiots have BANNED people from having to show they received a COVID vaccine. Of course, they are four Republican governors. Because, well, keeping all the people in a state safe just isn't something they should do (NOT). When is the Republican Party going to stop ignoring Science? That's how COVID 19 became such a killer in the first place. If these fools told people to mask up early in the pandemic, over 550,000 people would NOT have died. 

      Note that we DO have to show vaccine status for various other diseases (You'll read that in the article below)- so what's wrong with showing it for a Highly contagious, deadly disease? You carry a Driver's License don't you?  BTW, These are the SAME idiots that said "wearing a mask violates personal freedom." It's a Killer Pandemic for cripes sakes.  Again... IDIOTS.  Here's the story:

                                              (Idiot #1 - Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey)


Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced on Monday, April 19, that he signed an executive order banning vaccine passports and preventing state and local authorities from requiring Arizona residents to show their COVID-19 vaccination status to receive public services or enter specific areas. The order does not stop private businesses or health care institutions from requiring vaccine documentation.

IDIOT-  “The residents of our state should not be required by the government to share their private medical information,” the Republican governor tweeted. “While we strongly recommend all Arizonans get the #COVID19 vaccine, it’s not mandated in our state ― and it never will be.”

Ducey is only the latest Republican to advance the idea that such documentation would be an intrusion by the government. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an order prohibiting businesses from requiring patrons to show vaccine documentation, under penalty of losing state contracts. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves also announced that he opposed the idea, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an order banning state agencies and private entities receiving state funds from requiring proof of vaccination.




What this argument leaves out is the fact that most states require residents to share their private medical information when it comes to diseases like hepatitis B, polio, measles, mumps and rubella ― for which people are required to show proof of vaccination in order to do some activities such as enroll in public school and travel.

In addition, every state already has what’s called an “immunization registry,” which under data-use agreements they are required to share with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to The New York Times. The agency de-identifies the vaccine information, and not all states have agreed to provide it.
