What government is mandating vaccine passports?

I have come around to thinking that it is a personal liberty. But I still have my doubts that it is best for the country.

Governments are mandating vaccines to be a government worker :

But you see nothing wrong with this.

We can argue over semantics I guess, but I think it is overly coercive when any government tells private businesses that they must deny service to their fellow citizens based on their vaccine status.

I also think that the more strong armed government is the more people are going to dig in their heels.

First of all, the article doesn't refer to "government workers", it addresses health care workers. And, no, I don't have a problem with any employer mandating the vaccine for employees. The employee has the right to leave the employment. The employer has the right to protect it's business.

Besides, none of this has anything to do with Flipx99's claim that "the government telling its citizens they have to have vaccine passports" that I was questioning, does it?

It is a public (government) rule implemented on all health care workers. OK,the rule is not required to be a government worker, But all health are workers, to work in that field, need the vaccine to get the approval of the government. You are willfully ignoring the difference.

The government tells private businesses what they must do all of the time when it comes to health concerns. That's nothing new. It was put in place to protect those citizens. 1906 was the first year of government imposed mandates (Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act) on food related businesses.

Once again, what government is "telling its citizens they have to have vaccine passports"? That's where you entered the discussion.

My friend who also played rugby just got of the hospital from Covid. It was breathing problems that put him there and he was in shape but unfortunately the damage is done to his lungs. I'm not going to tell anyone again what to do about their beliefs regarding the hazards of Covid but I strongly suggest that you do get your shots. People are twice as likely to be hospitalized with the Delta variant.

I entered this discussion on many points, not just this one. But Canada has begun the process.

“The Government of Canada will require employees in the federally REGULATED air, rail, and marine transportation sectors to be vaccinated. The vaccination requirement will also extend to certain travellers. This includes ALL commercial air travellers, passengers on interprovincial trains, and passengers on large marine vessels with overnight accommodations, such as cruise ships.”

Australia has similar restrictions coming.
