> vaccine mandates
We've had those for decades.
> vaccine passports
These must not be a federal thing, because I still don't really know what people mean by this. Is it a state thing?
> and CDC surveillance
Private surveillance that the CDC and anyone else can buy. I agree that collecting this info in the first place, let alone selling it, should be very, very illegal.
- JaceLightning 4y agoWe have had federal vaccine mandates to hold a job before? I've never had to provide proof of vaccination.
- brimble 4y agoThere are ways around it (as there are with Covid vaccine requirements), but most folks are subject to vaccine mandates for school attendance (though, sure, those are state-level rules). IIRC I had to provide vaccination records for college, too. Plenty of states require vaccination to teach in a school (so, to hold a job). What's different about this isn't the presence of mandates, but that it was a novel virus so mandates were applied to (a small set of) adults rather than mainly to kids. In fact, the set of people to whom Covid vaccine mandates apply is surely way smaller than the set to whom a variety of others do. I'm pretty sure most states aren't requiring Covid vaccination for school attendance, for instance.
