Kristi Noem Vows To 'Protect' South Dakotans From Federal Government

The Governor of South Dakota was mocked and ridiculed for her stance against the non-existent threat of Federal vaccine mandates.
By Ed Scarce

As Kristi Noem tries to make sure that as many South Dakotans die from COVID as humanly possible, she's also putting out an imaginary threat of mandated vaccine by the Federal government, something the Biden administration says it won't do.

As with the rest of these horrible Republican governors, most of this is for show. Either to excite the anti-vaxxer MAGA crowd and/or to further their credentials for a possible 2024 run. The health and welfare of her constituents just doesn't enter the calculus for her own selfish ambitions.

One might also ask why South Dakota mandates vaccines for children to enter school against: poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, rubella, mumps, tetanus, meningitis and varicella (South Dakota Codified Law 13-28-7.1). Or the fact that there'd be nothing "illegal" about a vaccine mandate anyway, as that's been settled since 1905 after a smallpox epidemic.

So Noem, do you think the Natives have a right to demand that anyone entering the reservation's have a vaccination?

And just for the record, prior to me and my siblings going to school at Ellsworth and Rapid City, we had to have all of our shots...you know to protect the other students and teachers.....
