Pence slams Biden vaccine mandates: 'Unlike anything I have ever heard'

[left-of-center2012]

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday slammed President Biden's recently announced coronavirus vaccine mandates saying Biden's announcement was "unlike anything I have ever heard from an American president."

"To have the president of the United States say that he's been patient, but his patience is wearing thin, that's not how the American people expect to be spoken to by our elected leaders," Pence,told "Fox & Friends" in his first national television interview in nearly a year.

"The president should simply continue to lead by example.
Encourage people to take the vaccine" he continued.

1. Didn't they kill him on Jan 6?

[OLDMDDEM]

2. Idiot

That's because he was such a terrible governor. He was due to lose his re-election when Dumpy chose him for Veep.

3. Nobody cares what Mike Pence thinks, not even the RWers.

5. So Pence admits he knows little US history

Is anyone surprised?

Like the time Saint Ronnie fired PATCO?

between lip service and actual Leadership and Governance

8. 'Unlike anything I have ever heard'

Of COURSE you've never heard it - your head has been so far up Trump's A$$ how could you expect to ever hear anything?

25. Not soon enough

10. Who?

11. I can see why Pence is confused

He thinks the American people would prefer the president to tell them to inject bleach, or go back to the shithole countries they came from, or to hear how much he would like to grab them by the pussy.

You know, proper presidential stuff.

Except for:

- George Washington required smallpox vaccines for all troops
- Pence's father was a veteran, subject to many mandatory vaccines
- He, his wife and children were required to have multiple vaccinations to attend school.
- Restaurant workers, healthcare workers all have mandatory vaccination requirements.

Good history of vaccine mandates

Shameful lying on Pence's part.

19. Seat belts, drinking and driving, OSHA regulations, and dozens of other regulations required by

the government

It is quite clear which party represents ANTFA and QANon

Also, people can CHOOSE to get tested if they don't want to get vaxxed, so they DO have a CHOICE!

20. Could you even imagine George Washington requiring people to get vaccinated???

Oh wait, he did.

[halfulglas]

21. For such a "good Christian" this guy lies again and again and it never bothers him.

In this case we know other vaccines are mandates ALL THE TIME, for school, for travel and he knows it.

24. Unlikable on every level. Always was and always will be

An irrelevant stooge.

26. How Crude Smallpox Inoculations Helped George Washington Win the War

I love history. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

When George Washington took command of the Continental Army in 1775, America was fighting a war on two fronts: one for independence from the British, and a second for survival against smallpox. Because Washington knew the ravages of the disease firsthand, he understood that the smallpox virus, then an invisible enemy, could cripple his army and end the war before it began.

That’s why Washington eventually made the bold decision to inoculate all American troops who had never been sickened with smallpox at a time when inoculation was a crude and often deadly process. His gamble paid off. The measure staved off smallpox long enough to win a years-long fight with the British. In the process, Washington pulled off the first massive, state-funded immunization campaign in American history......

By the following winter, Washington and his troops were camped in Morristown, New Jersey, where the threat of smallpox was as dire as ever. America’s stoic general waffled back and forth on whether to inoculate or not, even making the mass inoculation order and then rescinding it. Finally, on February 5, 1777, he made the call in a letter to John Hancock, president of the Second Continental Congress.

“The small pox has made such Head in every Quarter that I find it impossible to keep it from spreading thro’ the whole Army in the natural way. I have therefore determined, not only to innoculate all the Troops now here, that have not had it, but shall order Docr. Shippen to innoculate the Recruits as fast as they come in to Philadelphia.”

Fenn says that inoculating all troops without natural smallpox immunity was a daunting task. First, medical personnel had to examine each individual to determine if they had contracted the disease in the past, then they conducted the risky variolation procedure, followed by a month-long recovery process attended by teams of nurses.

Meanwhile, this entire process—the first of its kind and scale—had to be conducted in total secrecy. If the British caught wind that large numbers of American soldiers were laid up in bed with smallpox, it could be the end.
