Epoch Times-
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon issued a directive to ban so-called COVID-19 “vaccine passports” that have been flagged by civil liberties groups as a potential invasion of Americans’ privacy.
Gordon’s directive tells state agencies, boards, and commissions to “provide full access to state spaces and state services, regardless of a constituent’s COVID-19 vaccination status,” and “prevents state agencies, boards, and commissions from requiring ‘vaccine passports,’” according to a news release on May 7.
The release said that the directive calls on local governments and businesses to align their vaccination policies with the state’s policies.
“Vaccine passport programs have the potential to politicize a decision that should not be politicized,” Gordon, a Republican, said in a statement. “They would divide our citizens at a time when unity in fighting the virus is essential, and harm those who are medically unable to receive the vaccine. While I strongly encourage Wyomingites over the age of 16 to get vaccinated against COVID-19, it is a personal choice based upon personal circumstances.” more
It goes to show you can count on every politician to take a token meaningless stance whenever they can.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidance in December stating that employers are legally permitted to require employees to be vaccinated.
So, there you have it.
Count on this:
“Vaccine Passports” are banned as the legislation for “Vaccine Visas” is being finalized.
As a citizen of what is purpotedly one of the most conservative states, I can assure you that Gov Gordon was as avid a surrender monkey as any ‘blue state’ governor.
