Biden’s COVID Vaccination Strategy Triggers Full-Scale Republican Meltdown
"Let’s begin with the obvious: Joe Biden is not a “dictator” for expanding vaccination and testing requirements, nor is he “trampling on civil liberties.” None of the steps outlined Thursday to combat COVID-19, which is still rampaging 18 months into the pandemic despite the widespread availability of safe and free vaccines, amount to “tyranny.” Those seeking to give you a Pfizer shot are nothing at all like the “gestapo,” and Americans should absolutely comply with public health guidelines—regardless of what some hysterical guy standing in a cornfield at night might tell you."
Well, the Supreme Court already ruled that a vax mandate is legal.
Jacobson v. Massachusetts is the seminal case regarding a state or municipality’s authority to institute a mandatory vaccination program as an exercise of its police powers. In Jacobson, the Supreme Court upheld a Massachusetts law that gave municipal boards of health the authority to require the vaccination of persons over the age of 21 against smallpox, and determined that the vaccination program instituted in the city of Cambridge had “a real and substantial relation to the protection of the public health and safety.”
This kind of reminds me of something extremely ironic:
- Conservatives suggest that Biden's vaccine strategy is communist/socialist/authoritarian/anti-democratic.
- Conservatives understand that we have selective service and they could -- if the need arose -- be required to report for military duty.
- They do this while knowing they probably will never have to actually report for duty because other people have volunteered to go instead. Kind of like how they feel like the pandemic is no big deal and they don't need the vaccine -- but it's really only true that the pandemic has gotten better because other people have voluntarily gotten the vaccine.
"Polling from across the country shows that broad numbers of Americans support tightening vaccine requirements for schools, hospitals and workplaces. Majorities favor showing proof of vaccination to travel by airplane, attend a concert, eat at a restaurant or stay in a hotel. And most vaccinated voters blame the unvaccinated — not the administration — for the skyrocketing resurgence of the virus."
"After President Biden resisted comprehensive vaccine mandates for months, his forceful steps on Thursday to pressure the 80 million unvaccinated Americans to get their shots put him squarely on the side of what had been a fairly quiet but increasingly frustrated majority: vaccinated Americans who see the unvaccinated as selfishly endangering others and holding the country back."
All the politicans and pundits melting down publicly "own" the fall and witer spikes we'll inevitably be dealing with. joe Biden has done all he can. He's not a perfect president but he's put his entire legacy on the line in a last-dicth attempt to help the American people get out of this mess whether they want to or not. Those fighting back are 100% responsible for what comes next.
"Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) ominously warned of a “revolt” after President Joe Biden unveiled new COVID-19 vaccination requirements — and critics on Twitter piled on to remind the lawmaker that mandatory vaccinations have existed in the U.S. for decades.
He also called vaccine requirements “cheap governance” and ordered the Democrats to “leave people the hell alone” in a tweet on Thursday."
Does he not remember getting mandatory vaccines while in the military? Perhaps time for one of Trump's cognitive tests...
What a disgrace to the code.

"The Department of Labor will enact an emergency rule to require major employers to ensure their workers are either vaccinated or tested on a weekly basis, President Joe Biden announced on Thursday. The move is a significant step toward ensuring that enough Americans are vaccinated to put the pandemic behind us, and it naturally prompted immediate outrage from Republican politicians and conservative pundits, who drew from a familiar arsenal of strange notions of “liberty” and fantastical understandings of American history."
Honestly, it’s the stacking of unsafe behavior that bothers me more than anything. Like, if you’re worried about the vaccines but take full precautions like masks and wash your hands consistently, that’s fine. You get vaccinated and wear masks, but don’t like social distancing, that’s okay. But when EVERY step to reducing the spread of COVID is rejected, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that you’re dangerous to society, regardless of your motivations.
They have the problem that if they do ANYTHING about it, that is tacitly admitting its a problem. And if its a problem, you have a responsibility to do something about it. And if you do something about it, that's just following the direction of "liberals" and "experts" who are pushing them.
By doing absolutely nothing about it, you are 1) making a statement that you aren't afraid, 2) reaffirming your "freedom" to make your own choices even if they are stupid, 3) not accepting "mainstream" conclusions and instead sticking to your "trusted" conclusions. Thats why they are so eager to take unvetted and unapproved medications because "Their Side" is pushing them, not the mainstream.
"Joe Biden finally figured out he’d been talking to the wrong people.
For months, it was the vaccine-resistant that the president treated with kid gloves, sprinkling words like “unity” into his remarks about fighting the pandemic and sidestepping others, like “mandate,” for fear he’d scare off vaccine holdouts."
If you want to put the screws to them have the insurance companies cover nothing if their are hospital or health related costs for covid patients who are unvaccinated without a reason.
I had a boss explain to me once that everyone has a choice in life. Have a good job but dont like it? You can quit. Tired of working then get unemployed. You always have a choice, but those choices come with consequences.
Unemployed too long? Hard to find a good job. Bounce around to alot of jobs? A lot of jobs won't hire you.
Consequences for your choices. The choice to not participate in public safety should have it's consequences also.
