my great state, Missouri.

"The Missouri Senate voted to ban in-state COVID-19 vaccination passports in a move that lawmakers said was to protect patient privacy and overreach from the government.

“We were wanting to make sure that people don’t have their fundamental rights and liberties — to be able to travel and to go to different places — to be infringed upon by the state or by different public entities,” said Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, who backed the legislation.

Even though the bill wouldn’t have an effect on potential national passport policies, Luetkemeyer said the Missouri Legislature wanted to do what it could do to protect citizens’ rights.

“We want to make sure that we’re not becoming a checkpoint society,” he said. “We don’t want to be like communist nations like China where you have to go and sign up and have some kind of passport and show your papers before you can freely travel.”

“That’s just not something that we do in the United States,” said Luetkemeyer.
