    Default Cancun Ted Cruz Supports Vaccine Mandates- Except for Covid

    why should kids in texas public schools be required to be vaccinated against diseases, but not others for covid? political bullshit, maybe?

    You may drink yourself to death in a free society, at least in the privacy of your own home, but you are not permitted to cruise down the interstate. Federal and state laws are in place that prohibit drinking and driving.

    Requiring the vaccine of the country's 2.1 million federal workers appears to be a last resort, coming amid a surge brought about by lagging vaccination rates and the more contagious Delta variant. Though corporate America may follow the government's lead, most Americans are simply being encouraged to get a shot, the iron fist of the state holding a $100 voucher for those who choose to get vaccinated.

    In almost any other context, the senator from Texas would likely defend the right of an employer to set the terms of employment - indeed, he has argued there's a right to deny it on the basis of sexual orientation. Every day, people accept restrictions on their liberties, from how they dress to what they say, in exchange for money. This is a system that enjoys overwhelming support from Republicans.

    Vaccine mandates are also commonplace in Texas. There, the government mandates that every child who attends a public school receive seven vaccines covering everything from polio to Hepatitis to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Parents can obtain exemptions, under certain circumstances, but "in times of emergency or epidemic" Texas relies on blunt force. If you want your child to attend school, they must be vaccinated or they will be barred from entering the building - a recognition that, when it comes to a contagious disease, an individual choice can impinge on the liberty of others.

    "Of course not," a Cruz spokesperson, Dave Vasquez, said when asked if the senator objects to requirements for other vaccines. "Sen. Cruz has been clear that he opposes COVID vaccine mandates."

    Coronavirus: Most infected in outbreak after large public events were fully vaccinated, CDC says

    By Theresa Seiger, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday released new data which showed that a majority of people infected with COVID-19 in a recent outbreak in Massachusetts were fully vaccinated.

    The data, taken from COVID-19 cases reported in July in an unidentified town in Barnstable County, was released after an internal CDC document was leaked which showed that the delta variant of the virus can be spread from fully vaccinated people at the same rate as from unvaccinated people.

    In July, officials identified 469 cases of COVID-19 associated with summer events and large public gatherings in Barnstable County. Nearly three-quarters of those infections (346) were detected in people who were fully vaccinated, according to the data.

    About 79% of the vaccinated patients who had breakthrough infections experienced some symptoms, including four people who were hospitalized. One unvaccinated person was also hospitalized. No deaths were associated with the outbreak.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
