Oregon Peeps Go After Vaccine Passports
More about stealing freedoms than about COVID-19 protection

A new movement across the state is budding called Tore Says Oregon Peeps. Inspired by a Cleveland radio host of Tore Says, Tore Says Oregon Peeps. Inspired by a Cleveland radio host of Tore Says, Tore Maras is exposing deep state activities. What is getting a lot of attention with the Tore Says Oregon Peeps is “vaccine passports,” which mimics travel passports but requires citizens to show proof they have received a vaccination for COVID-19 in order to be allowed to enter an area or establishment.

New York is the first state to formally launch a “vaccine passport” program called “Excelsior Pass.” It allows residents to pull up a code on their phones to prove they have been vaccinated or have tested negative. Hawaii has adopted a “Safe Travels” passport. Amazon is also discussing using this as a platform to handle financial transactions and tracking people. After Tore Maras sent letters in Ohio, legislation was introduced to not allow entities to require disclosure of vaccination status or anything similar to vaccine passports.

Tore Says Oregon Peeps is trying to keep this issue out of Oregon. They sent two rounds of letters that layout case law and federal law for Oregonians that do not want to get the vaccine and prohibits discriminating against. The letters to the Attorney General with a copy to Governor Brown and legislators were sent alerting them that Oregon businesses, schools and other organizations are receiving misinformation on mandating vaccinations, having no authority to mandate use of vaccines, which are not yet fully approved by the FDA. Moreover, any form of discrimination against those choosing not to be vaccinated is in direct violation of state and federal law. Code 28 CFR § 36.105(b)(2) specifically lists human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (whether symptomatic or asymptomatic).

The letters demonstrate federal law prohibits private places of accommodation from discrimination against any person on the basis of their “physiological condition” which, by law, includes the present status of their immune system. In addition, employers are expressly prohibited from discriminating against employees on the basis of genetic information.

It is clear that the purpose for these passports is more about stealing freedoms than about COVID-19 protection. Otherwise, a certificate from a physician could establish whether you have had COVID-19 or a vaccine, so there is no need for the passport if that was truly the only intention, to say nothing of the fact that vaccination status is a personal healthcare decision, and should be covered by privacy laws.

Tore Says Oregon Peeps’ campaign is available for participation and have provided a draft letter to copy into an email and email addresses for those wishing to participate. You can also use their letter with the documentation, or use them for guidance.
