Republicans vow mass disobedience and lawsuits in fight against Biden vaccine mandate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a prime example of post-Trump presidency rapid response, Republican lawmakers and conservative pundits greeted President Joe Biden's newly announced federal vaccine requirements with alarm on Thursday and Friday.

Biden rolled out a slew of measures to boost vaccination rates nationwide, requiring proof of vaccination for federal workers and anyone working at a business with at least 100 employees. If people choose to opt out, they will have to submit to weekly COVID-19 testing, a costly and cumbersome alternative to the free vaccine.

Despite strong support for vaccine mandates across the American public and Trump himself still occasionally touting the COVID-19 vaccines, the conversation on the right almost immediately turned to warnings of "tyranny," calls for mass disobedience, lawsuits, and questions of a possible "revolt" from the unvaccinated.

Without Trump leading this particular line of messaging, GOP lawmakers and prominent media personalities echoed similar sentiments heard at school board meetings when mask mandates began to draw vocal backlash.

1. Yesterday I was reading how jake crapper had 3 pundits and 1 doctor complaining about how

Biden should have implemented this “mandate” months ago, and they couldn’t understand why he didn’t

We have already seen what has happened at school board meetings and airplanes with masks, and if things get more animated and violent, I have to wonder if these pundits who are saying the President should have implemented the mandate sooner, will now switch their narrative saying that he should not have implemented the mandate

Should be interesting what happens, and why opinion masking for news is so unreliable

3. This is unprecedented and why didn't he do it earlier

[JohnSJ]

4. Is it unprecedented? There have been vaccine requirements for attending public schools for quite

some time, unless there is a medical reason why they can’t have the vaccine

[lame54]

6. Some people are hard to agree with...

You join their argument but they turn it around on you

You have me confused JohnSJ

[JohnSJ]

8. Sorry, I misunderstood

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Christofascists gone wild....a repeat of the Kraken lawsuits.

7. "Have at it" nt

[FirstLight]

9. I'd say let 'em croak, but they are also helping the mutations with their little bodies

as petri dishes for the virus to play in, then jump to a vaccinated person and break thru


ugh... really? are people just so fuckin looneytunes?

I would rather shut shit back down than deal with this extended bullshit
Guess I will have to self-quarantine...from the stupid!

10. they say "submit to testing" like it is torture

do they think the Bill Gate microchip can also be inserted via a cotton swab up the nose?

[ananda]

11. I have never seen such death-cult insanity among a group of people...

charged with a public trust.

I just don't have the words ....

15. Sorry assholes but I prefer to do that thing called "living".

If I wanted to die horribly and needlessly I'd join your group. But I don't so...

[Talitha]

16. Make the unvaccinated pay for their weekly COVID-19 testing.

Deduct it from their checks. I wonder how long they'd hold out?

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

17. Repugs automatically oppose anything that Biden tries to do

It doesn't matter how good of an idea it is, or how much it helps the country, they oppose it.

But a lot of it is bluster. Let's see how many of them actually are willing to choose losing their jobs rather than get the shots.
