Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war.

Ever since the beginning of the pandemic, bureaucratic Bonaparts have been exerting powers and giving commands they have no authority or right to exercise or give.  But, stunned by the cry of “Havoc!” people everywhere have surrendered their rights and even their good senses.  It is particularly obnoxious that people with guns, who are trained to know better, enforce these unlawful and unconstitutional orders.

Vaccine passports are the latest craze in illegal and unconstitutional restrictions on people’s movement.  Vaccine passports guarantee nothing.  There is no proof whatsoever that they limit the spread of the virus.  They are popular because they are seen as means of coercing the unvaccinated into get vaccinated, even those who have already recovered from the disease.  They are yet another example of making some people feel better by worthless activity and restrictions on others.

It is well known that racial minorities lag in vaccination behind the general population.  Consequently, vaccine passports have a disparate impact on racial minorities.  By any previous measure, vaccine passports amount to systemic racism!

A passport, as we now know, is no guarantee because vaccination is no guarantee  An unvaccinated person who is not contagious is no threat to anyone, particularly not to a vaccinated person.  The whole point of vaccination is to protect from the disease, hence a vaccinated person is supposedly protected from whatever the unvaccinated might be carrying.  That is, unless, it is being admitted that the vaccines aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
