Governor Tate Reeves is pro-vaccine. He’s taken the Wuhan Flu vaccine himself. He advocates that everyone else should get it. But, he’s against Surrender Joe’s mandate, which makes the media mad, because Progressives just don’t understand anything else by governmental force
Mississippi’s governor criticizes Biden’s vaccine mandate while suggesting people get vaccinated
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves argued against the White House’s vaccine mandate, calling the “unilateral action” an attack on the people of his state and threatening to sign onto a Republican-led lawsuit against it, despite the state having the country’s highest death rate per capita.
In a contentious interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,†Reeves on Sunday criticized President Joe Biden’s push for more vaccinations by requiring employers with over 100 employees to require their workers to be vaccinated.
“Obviously, we made it very clear that we are prepared to sue once we actually see the rule,†Reeves said in reference to the expected rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration about the requirement for vaccinations in the workplace.
CNN’s Jake Tapper pushed back on Reeves to point out that the governor himself has received the vaccine and the state has historically required vaccines, for example, in schools.
“The Mississippi Legislature has enacted laws for many years regarding vaccines of many types. It is unique to kids and their ability to go to our public schools. It’s not vaccines mandated in the workplace,†Reeves said. “This is an attack by the president on hardworking Americans and hardworking Mississippians who he wants to choose between getting a jab in their arm and their ability to feed their families.â€
Democrats just do not understand free will. They do not seem to understand that governmental force causes people to resist. Demands are often met with resistance. Try telling someone what to do and see how that works out. And when you already have people who are vaccine resistant, mandating compliance doesn’t work too well, either. Not that cajoling is working well in Mississippi, but, that’s their choice, and, if they get COVID, that’s their problem. They assume the risk. Sometimes you have to let people do that.
Further, most mandates for other vaccines are implemented by the States, which have the Constitutional power to do so, not the federal government, which only has power over federal employees. And, most of those vaccines work. For instance, in NC school kids are required to be vaccinated against polio and measles. The multi-shot regimens are virtually 100% effective, hence the reason there are no polio or measles outbreaks. Same thing with mumps, rubella, and diphtheria, among others. Most parents have zero problem with these, because they work. There would be no hypocrisy of Gov Reeves mandated the Wuhan Flu vaccine for the people of Mississippi (probably needing the General Assembly to pass a law), because this is a power of the state. Not Joe Biden.
Mississippi has pretty much the same vaccine requirements as North Carolina and most states. Those vaccines work a heck of a lot more than COVID ones. And it does not help the narrative when the COVID tyrants tell us that the vaccines only work as said if everyone else has one.
