It’s 2022 and countless Americans across the United States are more than eager to see COVID vaccine mandates go away.
For starters, the vaccines being mandated in various communities do not even stop the infection or transmission of COVID. Vaccinated individuals can still catch the virus and pass it along to others; even the CDC has conceded as much.
For what it’s worth, this year has seen some progress in the overturn of draconian mandates. Earlier this month, the United States Supreme Court tossed the president’s COVID vaccine mandate for big businesses. This served as a breath of fresh air for many Americans.
Days later, a Texas federal judge overturned a COVID vaccine mandate that applied to US federal employees. This weekend, tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets in Washington D.C. to peacefully protest for the end of all vaccine mandates.

Around 12PM, protesters gathered at the Washington Memorial and Lincoln Monument to take a stand against mandates. Many folks in attendance noted how places like San Francisco, New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, etc., have heavy vaccine mandates in effect.
