It gets more complicated, Diaz said of striking the balance between individuals and employers rights.
Republicans opposed to so-called vaccine passports have faced criticism, particularly as it relates to schools where current law already requires a bevy of vaccinations. Under current law, only parents who cite religious or health reasons can have their children exempted from the vaccination requirements.
Diaz said it may be time to review those mandates, in place for such illnesses as mumps and measles. But he said there was a difference between long-tested vaccines and the new COVID-19 vaccine.
I think theres a distinction when you have something that is proven to work and doesnt have any side effects, Diaz said.

paralyzingly stupid?
I'm sure Mississippi and Alabama are up at the top of the list.

(9,664 posts)8. Of course they are. Probably in the works elsewhere too.
If the feds can withhold funding from states till they adopt national standards like 21 year old drinking age or .08 BAC, as they once did, why can't they do the same with Covid vaccination requirements?
