If you ask any vaccine skeptics about their objections to the vaccine mandate their answer usually is two-fold.
First, they are concerned about the effectiveness and side effects of the vaccine. The authorities are frequently redefining the term ‘fully-vaccinated’ by adding boosters also alarms them.
They are also troubled by government overreach. They realize that once freedoms and rights are encroached upon by the government, they are seldom fully relinquished completely.
The Biden administration has successfully mandated vaccines for health care workers, military personnel and non-citizen air travelers, while their attempts to mandate the vaccine for federal government contractors and employees and private sector employees has failed. There have been proposals to vaccinate children, including those under 5.
State administrations have imposed restrictions on movement, access to public spaces, and public assembly. There have been instances of police arresting and fining individuals for merely attending a party or being part of religious gatherings.
While other restrictions can be undone over a period of time, the citizen understands that the vaccine once injected into your body will cause permanent changes.
Since the Democrats have been dogmatic about vaccine mandates, the people look towards the Republicans for support.
The good news is that some Republicans have been showing the way to challenge undemocratic mandates.
On Tuesday, February 15, Republican Sen. Mike Lee proposed an amendment to defund vaccine mandates for medical workers, military personnel, federal employees, etc.
Senator Lee distributed copies of a letter to his Senate colleagues on behalf of himself, and Sens Roger Marshall of Kansas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Mike Braun of Indiana, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Ted Cruz of Texas.

Why did GOPe senators fail to block Democratic-led vaccine mandate bill?
After all, all that post-17th Amendment ratification GOPe senators have to do is point out that the states have never expressly constitutionally given Congress the specific power to make such a bill.
Also, every patriot MUST vote twice this election year.
More specifically, patriots must first primary incumbent RINOs and then elect new RINOs on Election Day. /semi-sarc
This should be celebrated.
We don’t need a nanny state mandating helmets.
Personal choice (and being a smart parent to kids) should guide this.
“Democrats are the Evil Demonic spawn of Satan.
Republicans are useless, corrupt, castrated eunuchs.”
Damn, you nailed it.
