The Left really can't decide if a person should have authority over their own medical decisions or not. Abortion? A woman's absolute choice! Puberty blockers? A decision between a child, their parents, and their doctor. Mandatory COVID vaccine? Well ...
Per CBS News:
"As Americans consider whether to take advice from federal health officials and get an updated COVID vaccine, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is drumming the message that ignited his national political career: Ignore what the federal government tells you about COVID-19."
Daniel Salmon, a vaccine expert at Johns Hopkins University, insisted:
"They don't know COVID," Salmon said. "They're cherry-picking facts to defend their position. And they don't have the expertise to make those decisions for a large number of people."
"It felt to me like they were trying to sow doubt," he said, "and that's dangerous."
That's just it, Salmon, DeSantis isn't making that decision for anyone.
We are making it for ourselves.
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ CBS News reports that freedom is dangerous.
Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) ~ “My body, my choice” is bad now.
Matthew Adams (@matthew4brem) ~ Funny how quickly that flipped ... when it didn't fit the narrative anymore.
leegundus.eth (@leegundus) ~ Double standard say what?
Fox Fire (@RutRemy) ~ Every liberal axiom is an entirely disposable artifact that served a specific purpose in a specific situation. We confuse them with deeply-held, consistent ethical codes and misdiagnose hypocrisy when they're discarded. It's about Ws and Ls. It's about hierarchy. Always has been.
Remember when bodily autonomy was all the rage?
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ Oh wow. Being able to have a say over what goes into your body and not being forced by the federal government, whose corrupt health officials lied over and over again, to take “medicine” you don’t need ... what a concept!
ArchLobster (@ArchLobster) ~ "Freedom is dangerous" is certainly one hell of a take.
Democrats don't believe in freedom ... because freedom is ALWAYS dangerous to the control that Democrats desperately seek to exert over everyone else.
What matters is what our betters think is best for us.
Derrik Behler (BEE-Ler) (@DPGBehler) ~ Good to know some people think we shouldn’t make our own medical decisions.
Rhode Islander (@rhodeislander) ~ "Critics say" pieces are always, I repeat, always editorializing pretending to be journalism.
Yep ... Democrat propaganda hacks always like to reference anonymous "experts" and "critics."
Sunny McSunnyface (@sunnyright) ~ Your freedom is always dangerous to those who seek to control you. Good.
Guess it just depends on the daily narrative.
Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) ~ Medical freedom is dangerous! Tomorrow, though, it’ll be back to, “My body! My choice!”
Making your own choices? What an insane concept!
Brendon Leslie (@BrendonLeslie) ~ In Florida, we don’t have medical mandates. Each patient has the freedom to choose whether they get a vaccine and wear a mask or not.
Tom Rowan (@TomRowan777) ~ Here in Florida we enjoy the Patients Bill of Rights. One of those rights is to REFUSE medical treatment, advice, Mandates, or any fucking thing else you commie rat bastards want to dream up.
When progressives like something it's mandatory and when they dislike something it's banned. There really is no other nuance involved. The idea that people might refuse what is 'best' for them is simply too confusing and upsetting. That's why they mandate things. For our own good.
Fortunately, GOP leaders are fighting back and making sure their own people can live as freely as they choose. 'My body, my choice,' right?
