41% of Americans say “Vaccine Passport” is a bad idea

Last week, we wrote about the controversial vaccine passport after the Biden administration announced it’s working with private tech companies to develop a COVID-19 vaccine passport system for Americans to prove they’ve been vaccinated.

Now, a new poll released over the Easter period found that 44% of Americans said that a government-run system requiring proof of vaccination is a “good idea.” Forty-one percent (41%) say it’s a bad idea, and 15% are not sure.

According to a poll of national telephone and online survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports, “62% of those who say they’ve gotten the COVID-19 vaccine to believe it’s a good idea to require proof of vaccination.”
