CO-03: On Radio, Boebert Confirms That She Opposes All Vaccination Requirements

[RandySF]

Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert clarified over the weekend that she thinks vaccinations should always be a “personal choice,” regardless of the circumstances.

Colorado doesn’t mandate that residents get any type of vaccination, but Boebert’s stance would go further, stopping the state from requiring, for example, that most workers at licensed medical facilities get the flu vaccine, as Colorado law currently states.

Colorado also stops short of mandating that children get recommended vaccinations in order to attend public school

Instead, Colorado allows parents not to vaccinate their kids for medical or nonmedical reasons, as long as parents obtain a written medical exemption or take an online education module.

Boebert opposes such requirements, which passed into law this year.

“I believe that that is a personal choice,” Boebert, who also thinks mask-wearing should be optional, told KVOR radio host Jeff Crank on Saturday, referring to vaccinations. “And people should be able to talk with their doctors and make that decision, not having government come in and forcing that decision on people. So that should be between patients and doctors, not have more government intervention.”

1. An embarrassment running for Congress..

This is a deal breaker. Anyone with a lick of intelligence and common sense, especially in the era of Covid-19 voting for this kook needs a whole lot of education. Sure hope the electorate knows better in that district to deny her the opportunity to disrupt and encourage the unnecessary spread of disease and death. Lord knows we have suffered enough the past year to last many generations.
