Gov. Ron DeSantis: Vaccine Passports ‘Terrible Idea,’ State Mandate ‘Totally off the Table’

TRANSCRIPT:

DeSANTIS: "The vaccine passport is a terrible idea. We are definitely not going to require anything from the state's perspective, that is totally off the table. If I had businesses that want to do that in Florida, I think that that's more than just a private decision. I think that impacts our society, I think that impacts people, particularly disadvantaged people, in a way that would really be negative for our state. So what form that would take, I'd have to discuss it with my folks, I'd have to discuss it potentially with legislature, but I think it's a very, very bad idea. Look, if you want to go to a movie theater, a concert, all this stuff, go. If you don't, don't. But to require somebody to show some type of proof of vaccination, I think it's completely unacceptable and it's not something that we're going to support here in any way in Florida."
