ACLU: Forced vaccine passports is a win for civil liberties<\/a>
\n\u201cWe care deeply about civil liberties and civil rights for all – which is precisely why we support vaccine mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forcing people to use vaccine passports to access everyday freedoms is apparently protecting their civil liberties, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The organization\u2019s opinion was, for obvious reasons, criticized as part of its continued recent decline into politicalization and moving away from values it once supported.<\/p>\n

The ACLU expressed its controversial opinion in an\u00a0op-ed in The New York Times<\/a>. According to the civil liberties groups, there is permissibility for COVID-19 vaccine passport mandates because: \u201cThe disease is highly transmissible, serious and often lethal; the vaccines are safe and effective; and crucially there is no equally effective alternative available to protect public health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ACLU added: \u201cIn fact, far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties. They protect the most vulnerable among us, including people with disabilities and fragile immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated and communities of color hit hard by the disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The organization acknowledged that \u201cvaccines are a justifiable intrusion on autonomy and bodily integrity\u201d and people have a \u201cfundamental right to bodily integrity and to make our own health care decisions.\u201d However, it argued that \u201cthese rights are not absolute\u201d because no one has \u201cthe right to inflict harm on others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article concludes contradictorily with: \u201cWe care deeply about civil liberties and civil rights for all \u2013 which is precisely why we support vaccine mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Libertarian Party\u2019s Steven Kolln tweeted: \u201cIt is so sad to see how much leftism has destroyed your organization. Any real civil liberties union needs to be actively against the left and you are example #1 as to why.\u201d<\/p>\n
