Instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated, GOP-controlled state legislatures have introduced a wave of anti-vaccination laws. Here’s a roundup of some of the most incompetent Republicans threatening our post-pandemic return to normal:
A shot of conspiracy 💉 Florida just passed a bill banning businesses, schools, & government entities from requiring proof of vaccination, bowing to extremist anti-vaxxers with new laws that could undermine our health & economic recovery.
A dose of hypocrisy 💉 A Senate amendment in Arizona would prevent private businesses from requiring vaccinations. It of course should be noted that many of the proposal's supporters are totally fine with businesses discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation.
A needle of nonsense 💉 Kansas lawmakers pushed a package that would ban businesses from requiring employees to receive vaccinations & prevent public health officials from requiring vaccines at schools. All 50 states of course already have laws requiring vaccines to attend school
A vile of recklessness 💉 Montana's legislature considered several bills that would prevent businesses from requiring proof of a COVID vaccine, & the governor issued an executive order to the same effect, banning local business owners from protecting themselves & their employees.
A jab of stupidity 💉 Wisconsin Republicans spearheaded an effort to stop businesses from requiring vaccinations, & the legislation would appear to cover schools & the University of Wisconsin system, as well as state-run nursing homes.
