Brad Little signed an <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.idaho.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2021\/04\/eo-2021-04.pdf\">executive order<\/a> prohibiting so-called \u201cvaccine passport\u201d laws, following the leads of Florida, Texas, and Utah. Little\u2019s order also comes after the state of New York began pushing an app for people to prove their vaccination status in February.<\/p>\n<p>\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 Little said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.idaho.gov\/pressrelease\/gov-little-bans-vaccine-passports-in-idaho\/\">statement<\/a>. \u201cVaccine passports create different classes of citizens. Vaccine passports restrict the free flow of commerce during a time when life and the economy are returning to normal. Vaccine passports threaten individual freedom and patient privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have serious concerns that implementing COVID-19 vaccine passports will violate Idahoans\u2019 medial privacy rights, prejudice those unable to receive the vaccine, slow our economic recovery, cause division among our populace and, ultimately, be counterproductive to the widespread administration of the COVID-19 vaccines among Idahoans,\u201d Little continued, voicing concerns that have been echoed by other Republican lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-texas-bans-vaccine-passports\">Greg Abbott<\/a> announced an executive order banning mandatory vaccine passports on Tuesday, prohibiting all state and federal government agencies and all private entities receiving state funds from requiring proof of vaccination before serving someone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day, Texans return to normalcy as more people get the COVID vaccine. In fact, this week, Texas will surpass 13 million doses administered,\u201d Abbott said in a Tuesday video announcement. \u201cThose shots help slow the spread of COVID, reduce hospitalizations, and reduce fatalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, as I have said all along, these vaccines are always voluntary and never forced. Government should not require any Texan to show proof of vaccination and reveal private health information just to go about their daily lives,\u201d the governor continued. \u201cThat is why I issued an executive order that prohibits government-mandated vaccine passports in Texas. We will continue to vaccinate more Texans and protect public health and we will do so without treading on Texans\u2019 personal freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican Florida Gov.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/florida-gov-ron-desantis-delivers-on-promise-bans-vaccine-passports-with-executive-order\">Ron DeSantis<\/a> issued a similar order last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply participate in normal society,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cYou want to go to a movie theater, should you have to show that? No. You want to go to a game, a theme park? No. So we\u2019re not supportive of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always said we wanted to provide it for all but mandate it for none,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd that was something that, while it was advised to take particularly if you\u2019re vulnerable, we were not going to force you to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to do this and, what, give all this information to some big corporation? You want the fox to guard the hen house? I mean give me a break,\u201d the governor said. \u201cI think this is something that has huge privacy implications. It is not necessary to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
