It Is Time to Take Action to Stop Anti-Vaxxer Attacks on Americans and Health Care Workers.

Although it makes zero sense to even semi-intelligent people, one has to respect the rights of the tin-foil hat crowd that refuse to be protected from imminent harm – to a certain extent, that is.

With the veritable explosion of the so-called “anti-vaxxer” crowd, and coupled with a highly infectious disease that has claimed the lives of well over half-a-million Americans, the militant opposition to other Americans being vaccinated must be crushed immediately and with extreme prejudice. Tens of thousands of American lives are at stake and none more-so than America’s children.

Not only are kids under 12 not candidates for any current vaccination, they are being struck sick by Republican governors pandering to anti-vaxxers in the name of “individual liberty,” and to project the Republicans’ new-found authoritarianism.

Now, however, spurred on by Republican governors banning mask and vaccination mandates in schools, government, and private enterprise, an alarming number of reports are coming that individual citizens are adversely affecting other Americans ability to be vaccinated.
