Vaccine passports for domestic flights would require the creation of a national medical database, which holds ominous civil libertarian implications. All for a policy that would likely have a marginal public health impact. So yeah, it'll probably happen. reason.com/2021/12/28/fau…
If you think through the cost-benefit of airline vax passports for more than five seconds, the drawbacks start becoming obvious, as @christianbrits noted in October. reason.com/2021/10/05/cou…
"Freedom of movement within and between states is constitutionally protected. The right of Americans to travel interstate in the U.S. has never been substantially judicially questioned or limited," Meryl Justin Chertoff wrote last year. We'll see I guess. reason.com/2021/09/22/don…
"We know the only way to protect flying in this country is to mandate vaccines. So why are we waiting to do it? I mean, I just don't get it." I do not belong to this first person plural.
