Opponents Of COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates Have A Curious Definition Of 'Freedom'
Mandates for the COVID-19 shots are popping upall over the country now, which means you may soon have to show proof of vaccination if you want to go to work, the gym or an indoor public event.
The requirements are a reaction to slowed vaccination rates that have left significant parts of the population without protection from the virus, just as the highly contagious delta variant is spreading. Among those supporting the new requirements is President Joe Biden, who has issued one for federal workers and encouraged both private and public employers to do the same.
The requirements seem to be relatively popular. As many as two-thirds of Americans support them, if some recentpolling is correct. But there are plenty of opponents out there. Among the loudest are some high-profile leaders in the Republican Party.
Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) says vaccine requirements are products of the left’s “authoritarian instincts.” Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) describes the push for requirements as “vaccine fascism.” House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) responded to Biden’s announcement by tweeting, “No mandates for anyone,” and vowing that “Americans will stand for freedom” ― and then punctuating the line with an American flag emoji.
