Scott is accusing naysayers of not providing "reasons," but he hasn't provided any, either (only an assertion).
My issue with his assertion is that a huge swath of commerce will only be available to people with vaccine passports.
Hegemony is more likely than rogue agents.

We've already seen this with COVID responses since March 2020.
In places like Austin, for example, there is no longer a mask mandate.
However, EVERY BUSINESS is still requiring masks due to SOCIAL PRESSURE from local shitlibs.
Want to participate in commerce?
You need a mask.

I also understand the larger implication of Scott's assertion—that over time, the will of the people will bear itself out.
I agree on principle, but social forces are fickle and operate on local time scales.
In a state like Florida, you may be able to participate in commerce...

...without a vaccine passport.
But in a city like Austin, social forces may dictate that vaccine passports are necessary to do ANYTHING.
It's easy to be a pundit and say, "Well, people will vote with their wallets and move!"
But that isn't going to work for many Americans.

I have children and a divorce settlement that require me to stay in Austin for another 12 years.
I literally cannot "vote with my wallet" against something like a vaccine passport.
This is where the "the market will sort itself out" argument falls flat.

Bottom line?
Free men shouldn't have to deal with ANY of this shit.
