FORT WORTH, Texas — The other morning, a friend from Washington, D.C., sent me an exasperated text with a link to the new vaccine passport requirements for our nation’s capital.
As of Jan. 15, those older than 12 must present proof of vaccination as well as proof of identification (if 18 or older) to enter most public establishments, and of course, must wear a mask in all indoor settings.
The District of Columbia is following in the pioneering footsteps of other major metropolises like New York City and Chicago, where vaccine passport systems have been implemented and had — wait for it — no discernible effect on COVID-19 transmission or hospitalization rates.
