In additional remarks, Cruz later noted that he doesn’t favor the government ordering people to show papers in order to engage in society. The Republican lawmaker then pushed back against unfounded claims that unvaccinated individuals are “reckless” and “unwashed.”
Over recent weeks, a rise in verbally bashing unvaccinated individuals has occurred. Cruz, in pushing back against this, also noted that he personally believes in vaccines. Likewise, the Texas senator moreover stated that he believes in individual freedom and liberty.
Backlash against COVID vaccine mandates
Pushback and backlash against COVID vaccine mandates is very much alive. Shortly after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the vaccine mandates in order for individuals to enter fitness centers, bars, etc., irate people flooded the comments sections of his “nycmayor” Instagram page.
Partisan divides on COVID vaccine mandates are also very much alive. Across the board, Democrats are much likelier than Republicans to favor COVID vaccine mandates, despite the intrusions upon individual liberties.
