CDC Libertarians Upset that Tennessee Abandons Vaccine Outreach to Minors
July 14, 2021
“The Tennessee Department of Health will halt all adolescent vaccine outreach – not just for coronavirus, but all diseases – amid pressure from Republican state lawmakers, according to an internal report and agency emails obtained by the Tennessean.” It is being called “Republican anti-vaccine insanity.” How about common sense and caution? Since when is it the job of government to give vaccine information to anyone or vaccinate anyone or pay for anyone to be vaccinated? CDC libertarians apparently think that that is the proper role of government.
