Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson and Nine Colleagues Demand Defunding of Federal Vaccine Mandates
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and nine of his colleagues have issued a letter demanding federal vaccine mandates be defunded.
The letter was released 4 March. In it, Sen. Johnson and his colleagues stated they would not consent to a time agreement that eased the passage of any continuing resolution or omnibus bill that funds such mandates, and vowed that if such a measure reaches the floor, they would require a roll call vote on an amendment that defunds enforcement of these mandates.
The senators called COVID-19 vaccine mandates a “serious abuse” of federal power and executive authority, adding:
They also further strain the economic and social pressures our society currently faces, while completely ignoring existing evidence-based data on natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection.
Further, evidence-based research has conclusively shown that vaccination does not stop the spread of COVID-19.
