GOP FIGHTING COVID PASSPORTS MANDATE
A Republican House lawmaker has introduced a proposal that would ban private businesses from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination for employees, describing such a demand as an affront to civil liberties.
“They’re not really providing a rational basis for discriminatory activity—they’re busy separating healthy people from other healthy people on the presumption that people without a vaccine are not healthy,” Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said in an interview with Fox News in announcing the measure. “It’s a violation of civil liberties.”
At the state level, several GOP-led legislatures have passed bills barring governments’ use of a vaccine passport or a system that would mandate a person show some proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to enter a building.
Another House Republican, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), proposed legislation that would ban the federal government from mandating vaccine passports. Davidson’s bill appears to go further as it would bar the federal government and states, as well as private businesses, from implementing such systems.
His bill, which is called the Vaccine Passport Prevention Act, would prevent the “federal government from issuing any form of vaccine passport; ban states from doing the same as a condition of receiving federal funds; and bar businesses connected to interstate commerce from requiring ‘any patron or customer to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination, or post-transmission recovery, as a condition” of service, according to the text of the measure.
Late last month, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that businesses can require that employees get a vaccine against COVID-19 without violating federal law. Later, the EEOC in updated guidance in June said employers have to make “reasonable accommodations” for workers who don’t—or can’t—be vaccinated due to disability, pregnancy, or religious beliefs.
A U.S. district judge in Houston earlier this month struck down a lawsuit filed by hospital employees over the company’s mandatory vaccination policy, ruling that the plaintiff, Jennifer Bridges, wasn’t being coerced by the firm into getting the COVID-19 shot as she “can freely choose to accept or refuse a COVID-19 vaccine; however, if she refuses, she will simply need to work somewhere else.”
But Davidson said that the idea that certain individuals can be banned from going into a business or facility due to their vaccination status is a key civil liberties issue.
“They were making the same arguments on civil rights in the ‘60s when they said, ‘Well, I don’t have to let anyone stop at my gas station or my hotel or my restaurant, or ride where they choose on the bus—it’s my bus,’” Davidson told Fox News. “And we said, ‘No, you have to have some reasonable public accommodation.’
“The idea that people can’t restore our way of life and reconnect with civil society unless they get a vaccine is an inherent violation of civil liberties.”

Dear God Almighty, Forgive us of our sins in this nation and please allow us to keep our liberties. As the Luciferian elite push for communism in their one world order let Americans stand and push back mightily and let your favor be with us as we seek you with all our hearts and do our best to follow your ways and repent for our babylonian way of life. Please have mercy on us Lord and allow us to win this war before Jesus comes. Thank you Jesus for all your love!
What about the reports that everyone who got vaccinated will die within 3 months to 3 years? I read a report from a virologist but did not pay much attention because I am covered in the Blood and knew the plague would pass over my household. It did!
Sad that abortion is a women’s choice yet choosing not to take a shot that choice wants to be taken from us.
I read an article this morning stating that DeSantis and Abbott have installed wording in Passport Ban that police/authorities can force the ‘shot’. I do not know truth in this, yet I know the One who does. We are dealing with the times that the Lord tells us to ‘beware of men in sheep’s clothing’/false prophets. So I have come before the One who has ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY, here on earth, beneath the earth and above the earth, the One true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
Lord, we desire and need to hear from Your throne-room, for You are not such as man that You should lie. You oh Lord, created ALL of us and You say in Your word that You created us in Your image, in the image of God You created us. Therefore, we have EVERYTHING we need in our DNA to fight and ward off this bioweapon called Covid. Evil knows this, so they did what they do best, DECEIVE through bringing FEAR. Lord, we know Your heart for Your creation, that none shall live apart from knowing You. Through this bioweapon and their shot to destroy Your DNA, already too many have paid the price for not knowing You, for You are truth. I ask of You to gird those of us up who are fighting the good fight of truth, continue to assist us with power infused by Your Holy Spirit, that we WILL BOLDLY Go forth, not remain silent, no matter the cost, to be those human voices that those apart from You can hear, for they hear not Your still small voice, for they do not belong to You. We need to not see outselves as, GRASSHOPPERS, but see ourselves as MIGHTY, mighty because You lead this army of spiritual warriors. Supply us with ALL WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, STRENGTH, PROTECTION and DISCERNMENT that we desperately need to combat this evil now Lord, at a pace in which reveals You were with us. No more will the evil one take that which You created, as You rain-down upon us for Your glory. We praise You, we give You ALL THE GLORY, for You are King, mighty in war and battle, and Jesus has already defeated evil, in Jesus name I ask. Amen and Amen.
I am totally and completely in favor of the vaccine passport prevention act!!!
Businesses are not Doctors and have no business being in the medical industry! It is clear they do not care about the people just propaganda!
We cannot leave these matters only to lawmakers with a spine. If you are put in this position personally, put on your Ephesians 6 armor and stand on the promises of God’s Word. He will never leave or forsake you.
Pastor McCoy, Gospeak Church in CA has done several awesome sermons on courage and boldness in faith.
I am absolutely in favor of the Vaccine Passport Prevention Act and will pray for its passage. Not only is it an attack on our Civil Liberties, it is an invasion into our private and personal health status which should be between an individual and their Doctor; not the business of government or businesses (private or public)! Thank you for keeping us updated on this legislation.
