The governor of Kansas, Laura Kelly, broke the Biden administration’s comprehensive authorization to implement the COVID-19 vaccine nationwide, calling it “it’s too late” and echoing the views of many Republican governors. Emphasizes the need to continue to respond to the pandemic on a state-based basis.
“I don’t believe this directive is the correct or most effective solution for Kansas,” Governor Kelly said in a statement. November 5 Statement.
This is a bold statement from the Democrats, because the Biden administration has consistently denounced anyone who does not comply with federal vaccine regulations as “science deniers.”Either Kelly wants to risk the health of the Kansas to fight for victory Re-elected in fierce competition next yearOr, more likely, she understands what its mission is: the seizure of power by the federal government is unconstitutional and a curse of the Kansasians.
Like many Americans, Kansasians have lost faith in the role of the federal government in the fight against COVID-19.Despite the government’s efforts to control the pandemic, the lockdown, mask orders and Trillions of dollars spent, The virus is still around us.Actually the government’s response Failed to protect Those who are most likely to die from the virus have created more problems when countries choose to lock down their economies, which have been operating at full capacity before the pandemic began.
Governor Kelly only needs to look at her neighbors to know that the government’s top-down order to control the virus has completely failed.The pandemic orders in states such as Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Dakota are the least restrictive states in the United States, and the impact of COVID-19 is not more severe than other states, and The unemployment rate now ranks first in the country.
Today, federal policy is more to consolidate government control than to serve the public interest.
This seems to be the mentality that drove the Biden administration to use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to transform private companies into federal COVID-19 vaccine enforcers.This command can Impose a fine of up to 700,000 U.S. dollars for violations, Will affect more than half of the country’s labor force.In Kansas, the order will affect 620,000 private sector workers Based on 2019 data from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
If the federal authorization is allowed to continue, it may be expanded to include businesses with fewer than 100 employees and self-employed Americans, approximately 400,000 workers. The Biden administration is already considering COVID-19 Vaccine certificate for flying on commercial flights In the United States.
Biden’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) orders are thick enough to be weighed on a household scale, up to 490 pages. It is ridiculous that the masks needed by workers who refuse to get vaccinated have been ignored. The order states that “masks can be manufactured or self-made, and they can contain various designs, structures and materials.”
“Really?” asked Unleash the Prosperity Committee“It does not sound like a safety measure, but a punishment for those who refuse to be vaccinated.”
Governor Kelly is smart enough to realize that more and more Americans are using this trick.In Kansas, the Democratic Party’s traditional base union has expressed their views on vaccine orders A union threatened to take legal action Confronting a big employer before the Biden order is cancelled.
As seen in the November 2nd governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey, voters indicated that they are no longer willing to endure governors who kowtow to radical policies. The state, business, school board, health department, or any other agency, whether private or public, is not an agent of the federal government.
The American people are very good and trusting. However, their patience is limited. Companies, hospitals, and local government units must now decide how far they can be to force people to vaccinate themselves and their children, otherwise they may lose jobs or school places. We must all make common-sense decisions to protect ourselves and our families from the virus. We must also protect ourselves from those who use the virus to divide the country to empower and wealth the minority.
The Americans are speaking. It seems that politicians like Governor Kelly are finally listening. The pendulum changed direction. Governor Kelly believes that the Biden administration no longer “follows science,” and she is not afraid to say so.
