New 'medical freedom' law outlaws requiring COVID-19 vaccine to access public spaces

20. And yet the law specifies Covid 19 vaccines

and only Covid 19 vaccines.

Something tells me the same people who support this bill would have no problem that people on public assistance submit to random drug testing.

There are also "outpatient commitment" laws that in fact require some individuals--whether on public assistance or not--to submit to medical procedures such as electro-shock or psychotropic medications if a court finds them a danger to themselves or others. People under these laws can be incarcerated if they refuse the required treatment. Can I assume you oppose those laws as well?

When tuberculosis was a public health risk--before the development of effective treatments--people could be quarantined against their will. The same with polio and smallpox. You would also have a problem with that?

Someone upthread mentioned "Typhoid Mary" who--after being responsible for the deaths of multiple people--was ordered into quarantine for the rest of her life. Was she a prisoner of conscience?

The far right doesn't care about "precedents." The precedent argument is the same one used to justify the continuation of the filibuster--a "tradition" Republicans have no problem ditching when it suits their purposes.
