Also, if they can, then I'm against that honestly.

And that's because "Let the stupid people die of stupid causes" is usually my way of thinking, so ...

You won't enter school in this state without all your shots. I don't know if they'll require a Covid shot like they do measles and mumps and all the other things, but if you don't go to school here, they might make you take the shots at your workplace. I don't think we have any legal protections for people who want to defy their company's rule that they have their shots. The state might not require shots, exactly, but it can be nearly impossible to get along without them.

He's whining about the state forcing vaccinations onto everyone due to a state of emergency.

Thanks for the heads-up though

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court's decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.

It is all just a pretense to push the idea that the evil Biden is hellbent on eliminating all freedoms.

I have heard absolutely 0 officials calling for vaccine mandates.

The only thing I hear being discussed are campaigns to encourage people to get the vaccine.
