Hawaii Joins The List Of States Enforcing Vaccine Passports For Businesses

The following report is from Khon2:

The state is poised to roll out a COVID vaccine passport to get into gyms, bars, and restaurants. The governor says he hopes to have it up and running by Labor Day.

Businesses would not be required to implement the vaccine passport. Some say it would actually be a lot simpler if the state just mandated it.

Other cities like New York and San Francisco have already started requiring vaccine passports. But there, it’s mandatory. So while there has been some backlash, most of it is not toward the businesses themselves. Hawaii business owners find themselves in a tough spot having to make the choice.

It’s a complicated decision, and so as a business owner, we have to take so many factors into consideration. If the state mandates it, then it takes that decision out off our hands.

Greg Waibel, president and CEO of YMCA of Honolulu

The state calls it a digital smart health card and says it would work the same way as the Safe Travels vaccine exception, where people would have to upload a copy of the vaccination card to a secure website.

Waibel says gyms like the YMCA already have a similar system in place, so the transition would be easy.

We would make it pretty simple. You show it, especially if you’re vaccinated, one time, we’d mark you as a vaccinated person, so you don’t have to continue to show the pass.

Waibel adds that those who are not vaccinated will have to show proof of a negative COVID test. Many other businesses, however, have concerns about how it’s supposed to work.

Liability issue, how to enforce this and how employers and employees will have to manage this, because they are the ones that would have to check the passport.

Sherry Menor-McNamara, president of the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii

She says businesses will need more guidance from the state before they consider implementing it.

The state says it’s still in the early stages of developing it, and sent a statement saying,

Details of the smart health card will continuously evolve until the project is released for public use.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

“We’d mark you…” Really? You don’t say? Again, these “vaccines” are not the mark of the beast, but certainly a trial run for it.

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 13:16-18

Hawaii was one of the first states to implement proof of vaccination for travel and vacation, now they have joined many other large cities who are cracking down hard on businesses.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
