Today, Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger introduced the No Vaccine Passports for Americans Act in the House of Representatives.
This bill would prohibit any federal COVID-19 vaccine passport or similar system of tracking individuals for proof of vaccination and prohibit the United States from working with 3rd parties, such as airlines, to develop or impose these restrictions. The bill also implements a five-year ban on government vaccine mandates for vaccines first authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through Emergency Use Authorization and prohibits vaccine discrimination in employment, public accommodations, public transportation, or access to federal property.
“Vaccine passports are a restriction on individual liberties, period,” said Congresswoman Harshbarger. “I oppose these radical policies. That’s why I introduced the No Vaccine Passports for Americans Act to bar the already overreaching federal government from requiring vaccine passports. Our society needs to return to normal as soon as possible- our children have suffered through school closures, our businesses have suffered from strict lockdowns, and our economy is in desperate need of employees who will return to work. Banning vaccine passports will expedite the return to normal.”
The Senate version of the bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senator Ted Cruz on May 27. Text of the bill can be found here. More information on the bill can be found here.
