The Supreme Court stopping President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses is the correct and just ruling. President Biden, referring to the COVID vaccine, said in December 2020, ‘No, I don’t think it should be mandatory. I wouldn’t demand it be mandatory.’ Just months later, he flip-flopped his position and imposed an invasive vaccine mandate on businesses with 100 or more employees. This ruling is just another example of the need for the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress and at the state and local levels to put aside the fear mongering, scare tactics, threats, fines, mandates and firings, and start respecting medical freedom, prioritizing access to vaccines and therapeutics, and allowing Americans to return to normal life.

Seven percent inflation over the last 12 months is the biggest spike in 40 years! With massive inflation and a serious supply chain crisis on our hands, Washington needs to stop considering tax hikes, job killing regulations, suffocating new mandates, and increased spending that our nation can’t afford.

Our state’s hospitals and other medical facilities are already understaffed. Governor Hochul’s last vaccine mandate for healthcare workers and resulting firings made this crisis worse. Now, she’s announced her intention to exacerbate the problem by requiring COVID booster shots. Enough with the threats, mandates, fines and firings! It’s time to respect medical freedom, follow ALL of the science, return to normal, and let New Yorkers go on with their lives.

Through the early stages of the pandemic, New York businesses, especially restaurants, bars and other service-oriented companies, suffered through stringent government mandated lockdown policies. Many of them are still struggling to recover amid rising prices and labor shortages and are depending on strong revenue from the holiday season to help make them whole. Governor Hochul’s mandates, threats, fines and firings are keeping customers away from small businesses when they need them most. Instead of continuing with this current strategy of fear and scare tactics that punish small businesses, the Governor and other elected leaders should prioritize access to vaccines, treatments, testing, and the research and development of new ideas to fight COVID that will bring us a return to normalcy. New Yorkers should be better respected with dialogue, candor and consistency rather than the heavy hand of government and constant shifting of goal posts.
