    Do you support a government ban of private vaccine passports

    Do you support a government ban of privately issued vaccine passports that could be used by private companies and individuals?
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    Government is responsible for the "plandemic".

    Government stole MY tax money and gave it to pharm/biotech corporations.

    Government is supposed to protect my freedoms, privacy, the Bill of Rights.

    And now you want to know if I would support a government ban?

    Sadly, there are many victims of all those things who would support that, even here at Ron Paul Forums I suspect, though I would be glad to see poll results that prove me wrong.

    Poll needs more options.

    In theory, I wouldn't support a ban - especially, at the federal level. But in reality, the government is so intertwined with business and commerce now. It's hard to imagine a scenario where a "vaccine passport" could remain strictly private. In theory, as a business owner, I should be able to decide to not do business with someone that doesn't live up to whatever parameters I decide. If I want them to provide proof of vaccination, I should be able to tell them to go to a competitor if they don't want to show it to me.

    But in reality, that's not how it would work. Because it would be in no business's interest to send away their customers over a virus that is not really that harmful, the only way a business would do this is if they could coerce their competitors to do the same. And in today's market, they will leverage government.

    It's true, this is a theoretical question. And the Cato article that prompted all that consternation which in turn prompted this poll was also theoretical inasmuch as it advocated a level of government keeping its hands off things that we stand no chance of seeing in the world we now live in.

    But then, even in this world we now live in, would government banning private vaccine passports be a good thing? If somebody thinks it would, then they can answer yes and explain in a comment.

    That's my philosophy with polls. Keep the question and answers as black-and-white as possible, and let nuance be added in the comments where each individual will have their own take in ways that a poll option will never be able to capture.

    Ok, Luntz. Lol.

    Well, then it's all in how you phrase the question to get the poll results you want, then.

    "Should the tyrant's pen be able to order how a private business decides which customers to do business with?"

    Or

    "Should corporations be prevented from banding together to violate the privacy of American consumers in the name of safety?"

    Those are not just different ways of asking the same question. They're different questions.

    As to whether or not corporations should be prevented from doing that, the crucial points for the purpose of this poll are not whether they should be prevented, but how and by whom.

    You can be against having government do that and still be for having it done by way of the economic constraints the market places on corporations.

    Those are all good questions, and worthy of polls, but different than the one I'm asking.

    Many people, perhaps everyone here, would say that they do not support businesses doing that. But not everyone who doesn't support those actions by those businesses would support the government banning it, as opposed to letting the market sort it out. And that's the question.

    and what purpose it would have..

    I do not know of Private Ports.

    It's purpose would be up to those who use it to decide. Part of not banning it would be not banning any entirely private use of it by property owners with respect to whom they allow onto their property and under what conditions.

    Privatizing ports is a great idea. But I think that would require a separate poll question of its own.

    Yes, exactly. That's the kind of private vaccine passport the poll is asking about.

    I want them to answer the question that I actually asked, and not some other question that's asking something entirely different, with whichever answer is their actual view. This is why I kept the poll question simple, direct, and without biased language--the opposite of the Luntz approach.

    It may be interesting to see their answers to those other questions too. But then we still wouldn't know their answer to this particular question.

    How about you? Even from your earlier post I can't tell if you're a yes or a no. You said that in theory you would say no, but then when you talked about the real world you never said what your answer is for this real world that you then went on to describe.

    Perhaps. But others here were criticizing the position of that Cato article, and I thought it would be helpful to nail down just what position they were intending to take.

    My attempt to do that via poll so far hasn't been very successful.

    You're saying there's a law in the US that prohibits private organizations from requiring that people provide them with proof of certain immunizations as a prerequisite for participating in their functions? I'm pretty sure there isn't. There are all sorts of organizations, both public and private, that do that all the time with the government's blessing.

    In my home state I think only I , my physician and authorized health attendants ( Nurses etc) are able to access my records with the exception of HIV and venereal if I recall. With the exceptions of child abuse etc I think that all is in sections 34 and 16. Not really my kind of reading , but yeah pretty sure I can refuse .

    I'm thinking the reason more states havnt planned already to ban these is because many already have laws in place preventing it . States can pass whatever they like but they are all supposed to also follow whatever is in the HIPAA fed law too which I have not read from general lack of interest .

    Sure you can refuse. And private organizations can refuse to allow you to participate in various functions of theirs when you do.

    I dont belong to any private organizations but cant think of any locally with health discrimination rules. Doubt any would stand up if challenged unless it could be demonstrated they were required such as a hospital employee or something . Whole new area for lawyers to make money on opening up I imagine.

    This is not a whole new area. It's been a common practice for decades.
