Rebel Sheriffs Are Freaking Out Over COVID Vaccine Mandates That Don't Exist

Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona, wants people to know that he’ll never require his department to get the vaccine against COVID-19.

In a video posted to the department’s official Twitter account, Lamb appeared wearing a Stetson hat and a bulletproof vest emblazoned with the word “SHERIFF” to make his position on the matter of vaccine mandates crystal clear.

“Here we believe in America and freedom, and we’re gonna continue all of that,” Lamb said. In a separate Instagram story, he likened vaccine mandates to “tyranny.”

So why is Lamb, who’s not a public health official, making such a fuss about vaccine mandates, especially when no such mandate exists in Arizona or in Pinal County. (On the contrary, Arizona’s governor recently signed an order blocking local governments from adopting vaccine mandates.)

“Gee, I think he’s a Sheriff from near the border”

I had to look up Page County (we have 98 counties) Luray is the county seat. Near Culpeper. Population 24,000 97% white.
