On Health Care: Vaccine passports are like China's Social Credit System

I am vehemently against vaccine passports, or anything else that segregates our people into two classes, one with more rights than the other. Vaccine passport technology is just a step away from modification into the equivalent of China's Social Credit System, and this is a line in the sand we cannot ever cross. Pitting businesses and customers against each other by requiring vaccine card checks is wrong on every level. This isn't what America or Oregon should look like. As governor, I will promote individual medical freedoms. I would like to see a statewide ban of vaccine passports such as roughly half the other US states have implemented.

[OTI Note: China's Social Credit System is a national credit rating system introduced in 2011 as a standardized system to establish trustworthiness in business, government, social, and judiciary public trust, analogous to the individual credit rating systems such as Equifax in the US. Critics claim it infringes on rights to privacy and reputation.]
