The WHOLE POINT in being against vax passports is not bc we care about going to gyms or restaurants. The POINT is that we should never ever ever submit to a social credit system in which the government gets to decide what behaviors merit total access to society. DO YOU GET IT??

Want to tell you guys a story.
When I was 12, my brother (15) went on a school field trip at a lake. No one saw what happened but my brother ended up under water for more than 10 minutes and when they found him he was dead. They spent ~30min resuscitating before he breathed.
