WATCH: CNN medical ‘expert’ falsely claims Americans don’t have the right to freedom of travel

CNN medical pundit Leana Wen stated that the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates didn’t go far sufficient. When requested about the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate, she stated it ought to as a substitute be a federal requirement.

Dr. Leana Wen says “privileges associated with being an American” ought to be held hostage to individuals getting vaccinated.

Wen stated “if you wish to have these privileges, you need to get vaccinated, travel and having the right to travel inter state: It’s not a constitutional right as far as I’m— as far as I know.”

“To board a plane,” she stated. “And so saying that if you want to stay unvaccinated, that’s your choice, but if you want to travel, you better go get that vaccine.”

“I absolutely think we should have that requirement,” Wen advised CNN as regards a full-fledged vaccine requirement. “I think it was a major oversight on the part of the Biden administration to not issue this yesterday. And we have to talk about the reason, the reason isn’t so much that we need to keep our train, travel and plane travel even safer, they are pretty safe. Although I definitely think that having a vaccine requirement would make it even safer and probably encourage many people who are vaccinated or full of young kids and want to protect them. Maybe it’ll help to encourage those people to start traveling again.”

This comes after a column Wen penned in the Washington Post on Friday that stated Biden’s huge vaccine mandate program, which requires all employers who have greater than 100 employees to compel these employees to get vaccinated, doesn’t go far sufficient.

She referred to as the plan “a tepid half-measure that falls short of the dramatic reset the country needs” that “does not go nearly far enough toward compelling vaccinations.”

Wen stated that “Now is the time for mandates, with the federal government using the full extent of its authority.”

While she commends the administration for requiring vaccinations amongst federal employees, the administration’s plan to tie Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to health-care employees’ vaccination standing, in addition to OSHA’s enforcement of vaccines for over 100-employee firms, Wen says that “the administration can and must go much further.”

Wen desires vaccine mandates for aircraft and practice travel, as she stated on CNN. She desires companies to “implement ‘no vaccine, no service’ rules” and to entrench vaccine passports. She desires all youngsters over 12 to be compelled to be vaccinated as effectively.

What Wen actually desires are vaccine passports. She stated that “For vaccine mandates to succeed, they must be accompanied by a reliable and secure method for verifying proof of vaccination.” She touts the plans in New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans, in addition to these in Israel and in the EU.

“It’s shameful that all the United States can come up with is a paper CDC card,” Wen writes earlier than imploring the federal authorities to “finally get behind a national vaccine verification system.”
