Papers, Please! Why "Voluntary" Vaccine Passport Programs Are Coercive
A rousing discussion about the legality of vaccine passports that will also touch on the public health, privacy, and economy.
Count us among those who view the rapid development and distribution of a COVID vaccine as nothing short of a modern miracle. Indeed, vaccination is what has allowed NCLA to get back to our offices. We are all better off in a world where those who want or need the vaccine have access to it. At our next Lunch and Law, NCLA Litigation Counsel Jenin Younes brings together a panel of experts to discuss two much thornier questions: (1) may the government lawfully compel citizens to take a new, experimental vaccine? and; (2) does New York’s vaccine passport program, which purports to be voluntary, constitute government compulsion?
Jenin will be joined by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, epidemiologist and professor of medicine at Stanford University, and director of Stanford’s Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging; Phil Magness, Director of Research & Education at the American Institute for Economic Research; Naomi Wolf, journalist and author of the book "The Beauty Myth"; and Adam Creighton, former economics editor and current Washington correspondent for The Australian.
Please join us for a rousing discussion about the legality of vaccine passports that will also touch on the public health, privacy, and economic implications of such programs, as well as the variety of legitimate reasons a citizen might have for rejecting this attempt at government-sponsored coercion.
