Vaccine passports, of a sort, have now officially arrived in Washington. The usual suspects are responding by evoking Gestapo Germany.

“People who claim to be vaxxed must present their papers at any time, on request. Whose request? Ze authorities!” said state Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, a leading critic of the idea.

Walsh was responding to Gov. Hitler, I mean Sunny Jay Inslee, who announced last week that churches, stadiums and other big venues can add “vaccinated sections” to their seating — and thereby admit more people.

Walsh had sponsored a bill in the Legislature that would have blocked proof of vaccination being used as a condition of access to any place of business, public building or grounds. It didn’t pass, but presumably it would have barred the type of “vaccine ticket” program that Inslee put forward.

At Walsh’s Facebook page, he has been leading hundreds of Washington residents in characterizing the premise as an invasion of health privacy, as well as an unconstitutional restraint on freedom.

Adblock test (Why?)
