Pro-vaccine mandate nutters in the US
I’m pro-vaccine. I have just booked in my booster shot and my five year old is getting his first shot this week.
But while the anti-vaccine movement has its share of crazies, so does the pro-mandate movement, especially in the US.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Yep 59% of Democrats think unvaccinated people should be locked up and confined to home. Nuts.
Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.
And 48% think you should go to jail for questioning the vaccines!
Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Anti-vaccine camps!
47% of Democrats favor a government tracking program for those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Big Brother is here.
Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
Just sheer hysterical madness.
But it gets even worse. Here’s the editorial of the Salt Lake Tribune:
Were Utah a truly civilized place, the governor’s next move would be to find a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going as far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.
Do you remember the outcry over Japanese internment in WWII? Here a semi-major newspaper advocates for the military to detain anyone unvaccinated.
