Obviously a Biden Commie plot to stop Real Amuricans from freedom-shooting their way onto planes, buses and Walmart. Or something like that...

White House rules out involvement in 'vaccine passports'
[thehill.com]

"The government is not now, nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential. There will be no federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential," Psaki told reporters at a briefing.

The White House has been clear that it would defer to private companies if they wanted to implement some type of vaccine passport system in which individuals would have to provide proof that they received one of the coronavirus shots.

"Our interest is very simple from the federal government, which is American's privacy and rights should be protected so that these systems are not used against people unfairly," Psaki said.

The federal government will provide guidance about privacy related to the coronavirus vaccines, Psaki said, though she did not provide a timeline.

Probably for the best. There's a lot of logistical and privacy questions as well as political ones.

Not to mention fiscal ones. A federal bureaucracy to handle a process that has thoroughly been handed to the states to manage would be an expensive nightmare.

Everyone gets a CDC Card. Got mine. It's gonna live in my wallet for the forseeable future. My other vaccination records are on my iPhone via my doctor's electronic patient information system that downloads to the Health app.

PS= most of the discussion of this is on right wing news and by Republicans.
Biden is merely countering this paranoid MAGAt fiction.

These are the same that want people to do DNA testing to get the right to a mail-in ballot...

Doesn’t seem to be dramatically different from Vaccination requirements for international travel which do exist in some travel circumstances.

You get vaccinated for your own safety. You get vaccinated for the safety of those who live where you’re traveling to.

The travel, convention and pretty much every other industry will just love being cops, or more likely, continuing to play Russian roulette.

They missed their opportunity to clarify that all Americans will be free to never know for sure who has been protected from the virus that has killed so many and effed the economy. “We will never force you to be aware of such threats by your neighbors.”
