In Support of Vaccine Passports

This is from a column in the Sydney Morning Herald:

Stay home, anti-vaxxers: while we part-ay! Our COVID passports are coming

"In terms of vaccine passports, there are myriad roadmaps around the world, but the best justification I have seen came from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said a fortnight ago.

'Those who refuse vaccines,' he said, 'are endangering their health, those around them and the freedom of every Israeli citizen. They are endangering our freedom to work, the freedom of our children to learn and the freedom to hold celebrations with the family. Those who refuse vaccines hurt us all because if all of us were vaccinated, we would all be able to maintain daily life. But if one million Israelis continue to not get vaccinated, this will oblige the eight million others to shut themselves in their homes.

'Therefore, the cabinet decided today that as of 8 August, those who refuse vaccines will not be able to go to the cinema, the theatre, the synagogue, the amusement park, the soccer game or any activity with over 100 people, indoors or out, unless they bring negative results from a coronavirus test, at their expense.'

Bravo! More, Prime Minister Bennett, more!"

Bravo indeed! We need Biden to say the same thing, replacing the word "Israeli" with "American". Stop worrying about the feelings of the anti-vaxxers, and think instead of the positive reaction of the vaccinated.
