VAX POETIC: Cruz Says ‘No Pissant Politician’ Has the Right to Force Vaccinations on You

It’s been a bad week for the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates. Joe & co. have lost more than a few court decisions. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was fired up when speaking with reporters.

“The Biden White House mandates have been struck down repeatedly by the courts,” Cruz said. “They are blatantly lawless. Joe Biden knows they’re lawless. His lawyers have told him that the vaccine mandates are contrary to law. And Democrats don’t care. They don’t care about medical privacy. They don’t care about individual autonomy. Instead, we have seen in the course of this pandemic, Democrats, being very comfortable with being petty tyrants and decreeing that you must obey their medical mandates.”

“It ought to be your choice as a responsible adult to decide whether to get the COVID vaccine,” Cruz continued. “And you ought to make that discussion, that decision in consultation with your doctor. And no pissant politician — whether a local mayor, or a governor or the President of the United States — has the right or legal authority to force you to make that decision.”

“And the cynicism of the Biden White House was really underscored when their illegal vaccine mandate was enjoined by the Federal Court of Appeals and the next day, the White House press secretary’s office stood up and told Americans obey the order anyway, never mind those pesky little courts,” Cruz said. “Never mind the rule of law, never mind following a judicial order, you should obey our decree anyway. I think that is lawless. I think it’s wrong. It’s an abuse of power. It is threatening the jobs of millions of Americans from active-duty military soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines to federal civilian workers, to Border Patrol agents, to federal law enforcement to airline pilots and flight attendants to air traffic control.”

Louisiana Western District U.S. Judge Terry Doughty ordered an injunction on Biden’s mandate for healthcare workers this week, saying “If human nature and history teach anything, it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency.”

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a statement, saying they would no longer be enforcing the mandate.
