Mississippi governor: Biden vaccine mandate an 'attack on hardworking Americans'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Joe Biden’s coronavirus vaccination mandate for federal workers is a tyrannical “attack on hardworking Americans”, Tate Reeves insisted on Sunday, even as the state he governs reeled under a death rate that if Mississippi were a country would make it the second worst-hit in the world, after Peru.

Speaking to CNN’s State of the Union, the Republican 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.”

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 9,200 people have died of Covid-19 in Mississippi, out of a US death toll of more than 672,000.

Vaccination uptake has increased nationally as businesses and public authorities mandate shots but resistance remains strong in many Republican states.

Well I guess that means you have nothing to worry about Reeves.

1. "... choose between getting a jab in their arm and their ability to feed their families."

I'm sure there's logic in that statement, just as I'm sure there's a reason for a label providing nutritional information on the side of a bag of marshmallows.

2. Marshmallows I can understand. His statement is just dumb

Worryingly dumb for someone who is meant to take charge in state emergencies. A Governor William J. Le Petomane level of dumb. We've got to protect our phoney baloney jobs!

3. Maybe if you gave people paid time off

to recover from the side effects, they would be more willing to get the shots.

4. Good grief, what a whinny piece of horse shit, this whinny a&& governor...

This is not an attack on hardworking Americans or Mississippians by Pres. Biden. Getting vaccinated has nothing to do w/ making a living and the ability to feed their families, if anything, getting vaccinated ensures that a paycheck will continue to come in...because you're healthy and alive...

Dumba&&...good grief, where in the hell do these people get their reading material from and/or do they even read?

God, some people are just too stupid...

5. The jab is free. I didn't have to pay for mine.
