Florida's law prohibiting "vaccine passports" has been preliminarily struck down in federal court. I confess that I'm completely baffled by why this law existed in the first place. As the opinion points out: The Statute prohibits businesses from requiring their patrons to present “documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery” for access or services. However, nothing in the Statute prohibits businesses from demanding documentation of a negative COVID-19 test or any other type of medical or informational documentation. In fact, because the Statute allows businesses to institute “screening protocols” to protect public health, id., business entities are expressly permitted to require this type of documentation, including COVID19 test results, other vaccine documentation, and other types of medical information. The only documentation businesses cannot demand is COVID19 vaccine documentation.
