Beginning Saturday, D.C. Patrons Must Show Vax Card and Photo ID to Enter Any Business
Democrats think showing proof of identification in order to vote is racist; everything else is fair game. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has just made a new mandate requiring people to show photographic proof of identification simply just to enter businesses.
In the name of COVID, liberals’ favorite scapegoat, Bowser is imposing the strictest of mandates. On Tuesday, Bowser tweeted:
“Remember that starting Saturday you will need these three things before heading out: 1. Proof of vaccination (12 years +), 2. Proof of vaccination and Photo ID (18 years +), 3. Mask.”

The D.C. government website details the mandate: “Before patrons can access the indoor portion of the business, a business is required to check the patron’s proof of vaccination.” All indoor food and drink establishments are required to check vaccination status and photo identification.
The Daily Wire writes: “In the past Democratic Party leaders and others in the media have suggested that requiring ID to vote is tantamount to enacting ‘New Jim Crow’ laws because they argue black Americans are less likely to have voter ID than their white counterparts.”
Included are restaurants, nightclubs, taverns, food halls/courts, breweries, wineries, and distillery tasting rooms, seated dining halls, restaurants, and cafes in museums, libraries, hotels, and other public venues.
Indoor cultural and entertainment establishments will also be required to check vaccination and photo identification. Those places include concert, live entertainment venues, sporting venues, movie theaters, pool and billiard halls, bowling alleys, cigar bars, hookah bars, adult entertainment venues.
Indoor exercise and recreational facilities are also included, such as gyms and fitness studios. Indoor meeting spaces include hotel meeting rooms, banquet halls, conference center meeting facilities, event/banquet halls in museums and libraries, convention centers, auditoriums, shared work facilities when hosting events and any other indoor establishment designated by the Director of the DC Department of Health.

Former Harvard medical professor says he was fired for opposing Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates
“My hope is that someday, Harvard will find its way back to academic freedom and independence.” That is the heartfelt message from Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a former Harvard University professor of medicine since 2003, who recently announced publicly he was fired for “clinging to the truth” in his opposition to Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
Kulldorff posted the news on social media alongside an essay published in the City Journal last week. The epidemiologist and biostatistician also spoke with National Review about the incident. Kulldorff says he was fired by the Harvard-affiliated Mass General Brigham hospital system and put on a leave of absence by Harvard Medical School in November 2021 over his stance on Covid.
Nearly two years later, in October 2023, his leave of absence was terminated as a matter of policy, marking the end of his time at the university. Harvard severed ties with Kulldorff “all on their initiative,” he said.
The history of the medical professional’s public stance on Covid-19 vaccines and mandates is detailed by National Review:
Censorship and rejection led Kulldorff to co-author the Great Barrington Declaration in October 2020 alongside Dr. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University. Together, the three public-health scientists argued for limited and targeted Covid-19 restrictions that “protect the elderly, while letting children and young adults live close to normal lives,” as Kulldorff put it in his essay.
“The declaration made clear that no scientific consensus existed for school closures and many other lockdown measures. In response, though, the attacks intensified—and even grew slanderous,” he wrote, naming former National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins as the one who ordered a “devastating published takedown” of the declaration.
Testifying before Congress in January, Collins reaffirmed his previous statements attacking the Great Barrington Declaration.
Despite the coordinated effort against it, the document has over 939,000 signatures in favor of age-based focused protection.
The Great Barrington Declaration’s authors, who advocated the quick reopening of schools, have been vindicated by recent studies that confirm pandemic-era school closures were, in fact, detrimental to student learning. The data show that students from third through eighth grade who spent most of the 2020–21 school year in remote learning fell more than half a grade behind in math scores on average, while those who attended school in person dropped a little over a third of a grade, according to a New York Times review of existing studies. In addition to learning losses, school closures did very little to stop the spread of Covid, studies show.

Well golly gee, if the “vaccine” work, why do you have to wear a
mask…oh, that’s right, because the vaccinated spread the virus. Silly me.

This policy of a photo ID and proof of vaccination is totally wrong. I considered it unconstitutional. I will no longer due business in Washington, D.C. They can kissed tourism good-bye.

Can Anti-ID crowd argue that getting a free ID from most DMVs is more of a hardship for black people than getting a vaccination and the vaccination status card?

You don’t need an “ID” for voting! At least that’s what Democrats want.

ID required to enter a store to buy a gallon of milk, but requiring an ID to vote is somehow ‘racist?
Common sense is not common among those on the left anymore…
