"Medical Tyranny:" Republicans Vote Against Vaccine Mandates, Despite Virus

[TexasTowelie]

As scientists across the globe are racing to develop a vaccine against COVID-19, Republicans in key Colorado counties voted overwhelmingly in recent weeks against any state vaccination requirements for children or anyone else.

In a platform position passed by a 58 to 19 vote last week, the Adams County, Colorado, Republican Party, condemned “any form of mandated vaccinations.“

Asked about the plank, JoAnn Windholz, Chair of the Adams County Republican Party, told the Colorado Times Recorder that the resolution was about the “parents’ right to choose what’s best for their children,” and it would apply to “any type of shot.”

If a coronavirus vaccine were developed, parents should decide whether their child should be vaccinated, said Windholz, a former Colorado Republican lawmaker from Adams County, which is north of Denver, adding that the resolution was not passed in response to the pandemic.

1. When the vaccine is developed

those who are vaccinated or have a medical reason that they cannot be should be given picture ID cards. Those can be required for admission to all venues.

2. They're deciding for OTHER children, all children, not their children

Parents are not competent to decide what should be done for herd immunity.

When a parent blocks vaccinating their child they put all non-vaccinated children and all non-vaccinated adults at risk and impose extra costs on the whole medical system.

It is not solely a personal decision.

You are not allowed to refine gold and dump arsenic into the water supply. So it is with vaccination.

4. Todays Republican Party

5. Do the vaccination even if there is a risk.

Nothing in life has a guarantee the alternative of life without association should clear by now.

6. Then none of them can have it

let them have it last if there's any left over, also all other vaccines. Then build a wall around them and name it pinhead corner.

8. When the vaccine is developed, many will refuse it.

Sunday's D.U. contained a video of a dillwad in Ohio. She was interviewed as to why she attended a church service.

"I am washed in Jesus' blood." She said as an explanation of how a hemorrhaging Jesus would protect her from C-19.
