Yesterday Bloomberg<\/a> posted an article citing how some major corporations are dealing with the issue of whether or not to require the coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Covid-19 vaccination requirements are fast becoming facts of life in the U.S., spreading business by business even as politicians and privacy advocates rail against them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown, Notre Dame and Rutgers are among universities warning students and staff they\u2019ll need shots in order to return to campus this fall. Some sports teams are demanding proof of vaccination or a negative test from fans as arenas reopen. Want to see your favorite band play indoors in California? At bigger venues, the same rules apply. A Houston hospital chain recently ordered its 26,000 employees to get vaccinated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet it\u2019s another matter how people prove they\u2019ve had their shots or are Covid-free. Republican politicians and privacy advocates are bristling over so-called vaccination passports, with some states moving to restrict their use.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this point you have to wonder why the article cites only Republicans and privacy advocates as being against vaccination passports. If you read this carefully, you realize that we are being set up to believe that anyone who opposes a vaccine passport is somehow out of the mainstream of American politics.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Public-health measures became a partisan issue as soon as former President Donald Trump began downplaying the pandemic, and fierce debate arose over its severity, the wearing of masks and government-enforced lockdowns. Vaccine requirements and passports have become the latest flash points.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIdahoans should be given the choice to receive the vaccine. We should not violate Idahoans\u2019 personal freedoms by requiring them to receive it,\u201d said Idaho\u2019s Republican Governor Brad Little on Wednesday, after signing an executive order banning the vaccination requirement for people seeking public services. The governors of Florida and Texas have issued similar orders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cVaccine passports create different classes of citizens,\u201d Little said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And yet, New York state has unveiled its \u201cExcelsior Pass\u201d smartphone app to quickly prove vaccination or a clean test. The widely used Clear airport check-in system will soon offer its own version.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, watch the spin. Remember the outcry when President Trump stopped airline flights from China from coming to America? To me, that seemed to be an example of someone taking the virus seriously. Someone who did not take the virus seriously would not have mobilized the medical research community to find a vaccine in record time.\u00a0 Actually, I don’t think it was President Trump who politicized the vaccine.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

For some, their approach is dictated by the states in which they operate. The Mets and the Yankees, for example, didn\u2019t decide that their fans would need proof of vaccination or a negative test to attend a Major League Baseball game -\u2013 New York state did. It\u2019s the same with California concert venues that are finally being allowed to reopen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, the San Francisco Giants played their home opener under similar restrictions, requiring proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test within 72 hours of the game. The team\u2019s chief executive officer, Larry Baer, told local television station KTVU that the restrictions would help fans feel comfortable as they return to Oracle Park. \u201cWe will have the safest spot on Planet Earth,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re coming to a game, you know you\u2019re going to be safe — you\u2019ll feel good.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I have previously stated, my husband and I have had the coronavirus. We do not necessarily see the need to take the vaccine. Yesterday we had our antibodies tested and discovered that we have the coronavirus antibodies. I wonder where proof of antibodies fits in with the scenario of proof of vaccine.<\/p>\n
