One of the problems America faces in fighting COVID-19 is that the president has a "vaccine idolatry," and it is not working.
Those are the comments from Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana from 2008-2016, a 2016 candidate for the GOP nomination for president and now head of the Center for a Healthy America at the American First Policy Institute.
He warns, in a column at Real Clear Policy that there has to be more to the discussion about COVID and vaccines than "follow the science."
"Mindlessly chanting 'follow the science' seeks to delegitimize conservatives without considering the merits of their arguments. 'Follow the science' did not apply when Democrats questioned vaccines, and public health experts advocated delaying their approval while Trump was in office. 'Follow the science' does not apply when serious researchers explore whether herd immunity is a workable strategy, risk-based approaches should differ by age and other demographics, or the costs of eradicating COVID exceed the benefit beyond making it endemic and largely survivable," he explained. ...
He concluded, "Biden’s obsession with vaccines and masks causes him to neglect tests and treatments, seeing them as distractions that will be rendered obsolete by universal vaccination. ...
Jindal said Americans now are suffering from "COVID fatigue" as government has overpromised and underdelivered under Biden, who has created uncertainty over vaccinations, boosters, masks, quarantines and more.

I think Biden’s got “Biden idolatry.”
a good cabinet appointment if it wasn’t for squirrels.
Brandon is a vaccine-junky!
Pass it on!
Well put
Bobby Jindal! My man! From downtown!
He’s still POTUS-ineligible.
That hasn't stood in the way of Øbama or Kamalahaha.
Regrettably, our electorate, forced by a heinous collusion between the two major parties in 2008 to choose between two POTUS-ineligibles, has now developed a bit of a taste for the (Constitutionally forbidden) exotic.
Biden and Harris are like huge cancer tumors on this nation. Everyrtime they make a move on anything it spreads and is deadly.
Jindal has everything quite right ... except for the idea
that Joetato has any clue at all what he’s been doing or saying.
“Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.”
Excellent quote!
