Iowa Senate gives final passage to 'vaccine passport' ban, sending it to Gov. Kim Reynolds

The Iowa Legislature will send a bill to Gov. Kim Reynolds' desk that would deny state grants and contracts to any local governments and businesses that require customers to prove they've had the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Iowa Senate gave final passage to a bill limiting the use of the so-called vaccine passports on Wednesday afternoon, exactly four weeks after Reynolds made a public call for the state to "take a stand" against them. The Iowa House passed the same bill last week.

"Here in Iowa, we will protect Iowans from being forced by tyrannical governments to inject their body with chemicals that they may or may not wish to have," Sen. Jake Chapman, R-Adel, said Wednesday.

The bill passed 32-16, with two Democrats — Sens. Eric Giddens, of Cedar Falls, and Jackie Smith, of Sioux City — voting in favor, and one Republican — Sen. Jim Carlin, of Sioux City — voting against.

We are only as strong as our weakest link. Trying to jumpstart a New Civil War? Who benefits? Putin? China?

They do know that many places require some vaccinations to get a visa? Probably not, I’d bet most of them are exactly seasoned travelers.
