And on the other side of the coin: Florida won’t require COVID-19 ‘vaccine passports,’ governor says

“I just want to make very clear in Florida, we are not doing any vaccine passports. All those experts said that it was a bad idea. I think it’s a bad idea and so that will not happen. And so folks should get vaccinated, if they want to, we’ll obviously provide that, but under no circumstances will the state be asking you to show proof of vaccination, and I don’t think private companies should be doing that either,” the governor said Thursday.

Florida won’t require COVID-19 ‘vaccine passports,’ governor says

The opening of Florida continues to make Liberals hop in rage.  I am all for that free show.

Covid Passports will be mandatory in New York Starting April.

New Yorkers will be required to show “vaccine passports” – proof that they have received the COVID-19 vaccine – in order to re-enter society.
The New York Post reported that the “Excelsior Pass” would officially launch on April 2, following an announcement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) on Friday.
“Similar to a mobile airline boarding pass, individuals will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app,” said a press release about the program. “Each Pass will have a secure QR code, which participating businesses and venues can scan using a companion app to verify proof of COVID-19 negative test results or proof of vaccination. An individual’s data is kept secure and confidential at all times.”

The app, which launched Friday, already works to prove vaccination status or negative test results and can be used to gain access to wedding receptions, which now require negative tests from attendees, and other events above the social gathering limit.

New York Will Officially Begin Requiring ‘Vaccine Passports’ On April 2

This comes from the same people that would have thrown you in jail to rot miserably if 40 ago any store demanded to see proof that a customer was HIV or Herpes negative.

I don’t believe Cuomo will resign. He is having too much fun playing Generalisimo of New York State.

LEGISLATORS HEARD YOUR VOICES AND PASSED HB-259

On Thursday, March 25, 2021, the full Florida House of Representatives met and heard  HB-259 Sponsored by Rep. Jayer Williamson & Rep. Cord Byrd.  During the Q&A period, anti-gun legislators were allowed to question sponsors.  Then, under the rules the bill, then “rolled over” until the next House floor session.

Today, Friday, March 26, 2021, the full House came back into session.  HB-259 was up for debate and then PASSED by a VOTE of  76-37 !

HB-259  RESTORES the private property rights of religious institutions AND the self-defense rights of  people who go to church.

Church goers, who are licensed by the state to carry firearms for self-defense, are currently being deprived of the same rights they have when they go shopping, go into a business, or onto any other private property.  This bill fixes that.

 

The bill now goes to the Florida Senate.
