On "free market" grounds, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney defends right of businesses to require proof of vaccination after the government's vaccine passport program ends tonight, but says he wants to move away from all of it.
Kenney will obviously be criticized for this by a number of people, but as a libertarian I am okay with this. The people who want to perpetually live their lives like it's March 2020 can carry on doing so – I'll live freely and associate with people and businesses doing the same.
The issue with vaccine passports has never, to me, been an issue with vaccination, but rather with government-imposed vaccine requirements, especially on businesses only permitted to open by agreeing to demand medical data from their customers.
Lest there be any doubt, I don't think businesses should be segregating their customers based on vaccination status. I also think customers will reject those who do once they remember what it's like to live normally.
