d is reasonable most of the time. One is pretty scared. And they have different opinions. Now who is right? Which one of them is more likely to have the right opinion? Because remember, same intelligence, same information, but one of them is scared and one of them is not. Yeah, the calm person. Statistically you should expect that the calm person has the advantage.

Now let us talk about vaccine passports. I am not afraid of vaccine passports. Now you should — you might argue that I should be, and we will talk about that in a minute — but as a statement of fact I am not even a little bit concerned about them. But the people who disagree with my opinion, which I will state in a minute, those people are really, really concerned. Like they are really scared.

Now a lot of people are saying the following comment: Scott, I like your opinions in general, but wow, you are all over the place on these vaccine passports because you think maybe it should be a good idea, and you are way off on this one. You have got a lot of stuff right, but you are way off on this vaccine passport thing. So I ask you this. Step back for a moment. I have no fear of it whatsoever, which does not mean I am right. That does not mean I am right. I am just saying I have no fear. And you have watched me for however long you have watched me, and you thought that I was reasonable until now. But here is an object where you have a topic where you have a lot of fear, and now where our opinions are different, what do you think is going on? What do you think is going on here? Is the problem that you are afraid and it is affecting your judgment, or is this one of those times when, different from my pattern, I am just way off? I am way off in a bad opinion. Which of those is more likely?

All right, I am going to read some of the comments to my tweet this morning, and I am going to tell you what I think of their reasoning. Okay, so here are the people who are disagreeing with me. So I have said that vaccine passports will be fine. Now it does not mean it will make anything better. I am just not afraid of them. And here is my argument. We already have driver’s licenses, right? Did putting your name into a database and giving you a driver’s license, did that ruin your life somehow, or did it just make it safer to drive? It did not really hurt much. If you get a mortgage you have to show your taxes. Was that a slippery slope to losing your health care information? No, no. And how about your health care information? Has anybody gotten access to that? Do we have laws that keep your health care stuff private? Has anybody gotten access to most of it? We are talking about just the vaccination part, but has anybody gotten access to the whole database yet? Not yet. Not yet. I mean I suppose it is a risk, but not yet.

So we live in a world in which the government has often put these restrictions on us to put us in a database and know something about us, right? Now the big argument that I have heard from — I guess this is from Naomi Wolf. So she is quite famous for being a skeptic on some of the coronavirus stuff. And the first thing I would say is beware of skeptics. Skeptics are valuable. Got to have them. I am one. But there is a skeptic trap, and you should be aware of it. The skeptic trap goes like this. Once you become the skeptic, it is hard not to be the skeptic, and you are going to want to have at least a win in your skeptical thing. So there is a bias that would affect you — the Ivor Cummins of the world, skeptic; Alex Berenson, skeptic about some aspects of the coron
