Dr. Drew denounces vaccination passports and is dragged by Twitter users

Dr. Drew Pinsky’s retrieval of vaccine passports brought him a failed note from Twitter users on Monday.

It happened after the doctor and the media personality suggested on Twitter that they need vaccination passports for international travel it deprives people of their freedom.

These vaccine passports separate people and separate them from the freedom to travel internationally. Vaccinations are important and I encourage everyone to get the Covid vaccine, but how would you feel if international travel required other vaccinations?

Pinsky was immediately dragged by Twitter users because he had no idea of a key fact: vaccines have been needed for some international travel since the 1940s.

Many countries already require proof of other vaccinations and it is embarrassing that you do not know this, but you would choose to speak on this subject https://t.co/yFS07gqsP0

International travel absolutely requires vaccination certificates to enter certain countries. Yellow fever is a common example. A comprehensive list below (@WHICH) the requirements of all countries. #Passport Covid https://t.co/LUi5uKaizH https://t.co/NybKuJnwfe

The international journey requires vaccinations and is decades old.
I had to make them visit Brazil in 1999 and India in 2015.

Not surprisingly, many Twitter users were shocked that a nationally known doctor like Pinsky would not be so aware that vaccinations are often needed for international travel.

Hm … Dr. Drew …? How often do you travel abroad? https://t.co/soo9V9AJcJ https://t.co/XGulzLNO1b

Um, there are a lot of international trips that need vaccinations. You’d think a doctor would know that. https://t.co/uRl5ZaMV5O

After massively “reporting” for the tweet, it seems that Pinsky decided that it would be better to post a cryptic quote from former President Theodore Roosevelt than to admit he was wrong.

“It simply came to our notice then. not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the worker could have done better. The credit goes to the man who is actually in the arena. ”-Teddy Roosevelt #DareGreatly

Fortunately, a Twitter user managed to translate Pinsky’s real message.

“Always look for a doctor who quotes dead presidents instead of admitting an error” … no one ever said. https://t.co/OVukjeYBuI

To take this seriously after spending all day receiving a tweet that is obviously stupid is a truly incredible post. https://t.co/qfKdvr0qxn

So far, Pinsky has not acknowledged that, yes, vaccination passports have been part of international travel for decades.

However, he eventually gave up false claims of freedom and made a simple request that the Americans receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines.

I will make this very simple, get vaccinated.

In December, Pinsky was diagnosed with COVID-19, a few months after apologizing for calling the pandemic a “press-induced panic,” according to Yahoo News.
