Federal: HR121

Bill Summary

HR 121, the No Vaccine Passports Act, prohibits federal agencies from issuing vaccine passports or sharing COVID-19 vaccination records with third parties, and bars federal agencies from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for accessing federal property, services, or congressional grounds. The bill defines vaccine passports as standardized documents certifying COVID-19 vaccination status and applies restrictions across all executive branch agencies. It protects medical privacy by preventing government disclosure of vaccination records without consent. The legislation aims to eliminate federal vaccine passport systems and prevent discrimination based on vaccination status in federal contexts.

Why It Matters to MAHA

This bill directly advances MAHA's core principle of health freedom and patient autonomy by preventing the federal government from creating systems that could mandate or coerce vaccination disclosure. It protects medical privacy by restricting unauthorized sharing of vaccination records with third parties, a critical transparency and individual rights issue. The bill removes barriers that could limit citizens' access to federal services based on health choices, supporting MAHA's commitment to preventing government-mandated health interventions. By blocking vaccine passport infrastructure at the federal level, the bill prevents the normalization of health status documentation as a requirement for exercising rights or accessing services. This measure reinforces that health decisions remain between individuals and their doctors, not government bureaucracies.
