Ted Cruz introduces a bill to ban the federal government from using vaccine passports [View all]

Three Republican senators have introduced a bill to ban the federal government from establishing COVID-19 vaccine passports, following in the footsteps of at least 10 GOP-led states.

Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Braun of Indiana, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming introduced the legislation to the Senate Friday. The bill would also prevent the government from working with third parties, such as airlines, on setting up their own vaccine passport systems.

"Americans shouldn't be discriminated against because of COVID-19 vaccine status - whether that is at work or in everyday life," Cruz said in a statement announcing the bill. "We should be encouraging individuals to receive the vaccine through increased patient protections, not mandating it."

The senator also said he got the vaccine because "it was the right decision for me, but people should be free to make the decision that is right for them."

Americans shouldn't be so careless as to infect their fellow Americans.
