Senator Blunt Urges Biden Administration to Rethink Vaccine Mandates

Missouri Republican Senator Roy Blunt says President Biden should rethink vaccine requirements and warns of labor shortages in health care facilities and grocery stores if the courts allow current vaccine mandates to stay in effect, saying people will leave their jobs. He also that even though he favors people getting vaccinated, he cautions against the government trying to tell people what to do. "C.S. Lewis said that the most insidious form of authoritarianism is when the government tells you you have to do something because it's for your own good. If this is for people's own good this is something they can figure out for themselves," Senator Blunt says. close
