When one glances around various news sites, one finds reports of nearly two dozen governors who have stepped forward to declare their states will not mandate the novel mRNA shot for kids. Not surprisingly, most of them are Republicans, including:
Even before the CDC panel vote, many states already had bans on COVID shot mandates for kids in place, reports Epoch Times
Even some Democrat governors have opted not to mandate children get the shot. They are:
* Jared Polis (Colo.)
* Ned Lamont (Conn.)
* Laura Kelly (Kan.)
Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, has also said she will not ask the state legislature to pass a mandate — which of course doesn’t mean she would veto one if it lands on her desk.
Meanwhile, with elections close at hand, at least 10 Republican gubernatorial candidates have announced that they would also cancel any mandate for kids if elected.
Independent journalist Margaret Menge writes on Substack:

“10 Republican candidates for governor have declared they will not mandate the vaccines for school children if elected: Lee Zeldin in New York, Darren Bailey in Illinois, Heidi Ganahl in Colorado, Kari Lake in Arizona, Bob Stefanowski in Connecticut, Tudor Dixon in Michigan, Tim Michels in Wisconsin, Dan Cox in Maryland, Derek Schmidt in Kansas, and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania.”
MeeMaw Ivey didn’t have much of a choice; the vote to prevent mandatory shots was veto-proof.
We need a real conservative for governor.
Here is where that Lee Zeldin could have stepped up in that breathless, defensive gnat swatting people still refer to as a debate last night. But no.
He’s in New York. He thinks he can’t trust enough of them to be sensible. I think he should give it a shot. Well. Maybe this is his way of doing that.
Where the heck is Abbott - TEXAS?
Just called - Abbott hasn’t said much, but our ATTY Genl Paxton IS working with other states’ AG’s to stop this madness.
