I’d be in favor of that if the Guard was required to wear Nazi helmets.

The Salt Lake City Tribune editorial board published an editorial on Saturday that called on the Utah governor to use the National Guard to prevent unvaccinated citizens from going anywhere.
In an editorial titled, "Utah leaders have surrendered to COVID pandemic, the Editorial Board writes" the paper lays blame at elected officials for failing to mandate the vaccine for all citizens. The paper asserted that if Utah was a "civilized place," Republican Gov. Spencer Cox would implement a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the state and have the National Guard enforce the mandate by not letting unvaccinated people go "anywhere."
"Were Utah a truly civilized place, the governor’s next move would be to find a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going as far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere," the editorial board wrote.
While the editorial board placed blame at all levels of government, they were more critical of Republicans like Cox.
"Government officials, mostly but not exclusively Republicans, were apparently determined not to be caught governing in the face of this challenge. Any move or recommendation to mask up or, when safe and effective vaccines became available, to make vaccination a requirement of admission to public places and society in general was shouted down as an unwarranted imposition on individual freedoms," it wrote. "Cox and so many others have not carried the courage of their convictions. Cox, state legislative leaders, our congressional delegation and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes have so proudly stood against the kind of vaccine mandates that civilized society has used for generations to effectively wipe out everything from polio to diphtheria to the measles."

Lefties. Lefties really enjoy bullying people.
This is completely insane. Do governors and their staffs learn only from the propaganda media like MSNBC?
Liberals are sooo vile that they can even infect the bastion of Mormonism. I really cannot believe that they would vote for a party as vile and vapid as the DemocRAT party.
Sounds like a couple violations of the Constitution.
Does the SLC editorial call for the unvaxxed to wear a yellow star?!?
I’d be in favor of that if the Guard was required to wear Nazi helmets.
Is Romney a shareholder?
Practically speaking, how could this be done? 10,000 NG acting as wardens for a million widely scattered people? They would need concentration camps. Maybe I shouldn’t give them ideas.
Hmmmm…is this why so many tankers are in the air, lately? Nat Guard about to be deployed?
These leftists ALWAYS telegraph their next moves
Aha! Clearly it’s newspapers that are spreading Wuhan flu.
Unsubscribe now!
The problem with these people is they are all bloody insane!
By now it should be perfectly clear that these shots protect no one from getting or transmitting any, ANY, Covid variant that comes along.
None of what these fearful freaks demand makes one damn bit of difference to their own health! Even lord fauci has said everyone is going to get covid at this point. Please people get a grip and come to terms with the eventuality and reality.
Yet it has been proven that being vaccinated doesn’t keep you from getting the virus and spreading it.
The Tribune has been an anti-Mormon bastion for as long as anyone can remember. It competes in Utah against the Church-owned Deseret News.
Not allowed anywhere? Boy, they’re going to need a lot people to enforce that one. Enforced by armed troops?
Is law enforcement on board? Or do they just sit back and watch it all?
Governor’s reply should be: I’ll consider it as soon as you first put your fat asses in front of those un-vaxxed homeowners’ shotguns.
Land of Romney.
If there is any benefit to covid-19 it is that it has brought out the zealots and extremists for all to see.
Time to pack your heat
