President Biden’s vaccine passport has already been met with fierce opposition by Republican lawmakers across the country. A series of governors have already enacted legislation that prohibits businesses and organizations receiving state funds from requiring proof of vaccination but Republicans in Washington are taking it a step further. Eighteen House Republicans introduced the “No Vaccine Passport Act” which will ban the federal government from demanding such documentation.

Rep. Jeff Duncan

South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan joined 17 other House Republicans in crafting the legislation. The “No Vaccine Passport Act” would “prevent federal agencies from issuing any standardized documentation that could be used to certify a U.S. citizen’s COVID-19 status to a third party, such as a restaurant or an airline.

Rep. Jody Hice

Jody Hice is also a co-sponsor of the “No Vaccine Passport Act.” The Georgia Republican recently announced his campaign to unseat Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Following the 2020 presidential election Republicans have been increasingly critical of Raffensperger. Former President Trump also endorsed Hice’s campaign, I have 100% confidence in Jody to fight for Free, Fair, and Secure Elections in Georgia, in line with our beloved U.S. Constitution. Jody will stop the Fraud and get honesty into our Elections! Jody loves the people of Georgia, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement.”

 

Rep. Chip Roy

Texas Congressman Chip Roy joined 17 Republican colleagues to co-sponsor the legislation. The bill prohibits proof of COVID-19 vaccination from being a requirement for access to federal or congressional property and services.

Rep. Louie Gohmert

Texas Representative Louie Gohmert is one of eighteen Republican co-sponsors of the bill. According to The Daily Wire, “An agency may not issue a vaccine passport, vaccine pass or other standardized documentation for the purpose of certifying the COVID-19 vaccination status of a citizen of the United States to a third party, or otherwise publish or share any COVID-19 vaccination record of a citizen of the United States or similar health information,” reads one of the provisions of the proposed bill.

Rep. Greg Steube

Rep. Greg Steube of Florida co-sponsored the legislation seeking to protect Americans from being forced to declare their vaccination status.

Rep. Warren Davidson

Ohio Republican Warren Davidson co-sponsored the bill alongside 17 other House Republicans. A number of states have already created laws banning the use of vaccine passports. Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis was the first governor to ban the passports after fiercely criticizing Biden for recommending them.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn

Freshman Congressman Madison Cawthorn also co-sponsored the “No Vaccine Passport Act.” The North Carolina Representative joined the bill which will prevent the federal government from “issuing or requiring a COVID-19 Vaccine Passport.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Pro-Trump freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has fiercely opposed the idea of vaccine passports and has even introduced legislation to have Dr. Fauci fired.

Rep. Ben Cline

Virginia Rep. Ben Cline co-sponsored the legislation. Republican lawmakers have sharply rebuked Biden’s plan to “mark” American citizens in regard to their vaccination status.
