Congressman Mo Brooks has introduced the Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act in response to the Biden Administration’s recent vaccine mandates that will require Americans who work at companies with 100 or more employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 4 or get tested for the virus weekly.
The short, one-sentence bill aims to “prohibit the use of Federal funds to establish, implement, or enforce any vaccine mandate.”
Brooks commented, “Every single American should have the ability to make the best decision for them and their own health, without fear of losing their livelihood. The government should not try to intimidate, coerce, or force anyone into receiving the vaccine. Due to the rapid speed at which these vaccines were developed and distributed, and the growing list of side effects, hesitancy is understandable. Furthermore, it is none of the government’s business who has or has not been vaccinated. The Socialist Democrats’ pipe dream of discriminating based on vaccination status is wholly un-American. ”
Congressman Brooks concluded, “The time for action is now, and the American people deserve to know who is willing to stand with them to defend our constitution, our freedoms, and the principles that have combined to make America the greatest nation in world history. Congress needs to be put on record on where they stand on this issue. I refuse to idly sit by as people lose their jobs and America becomes a scene straight out of 1984.”
In September, Arizona congressman Andy Biggs, and 21 of his colleagues, introduced the Freedom from Mandates Act to block President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates. It bars the federal government from requiring employers to mandate vaccines or to mandating testing of employees. This week Biggs introduced a bill called the Nullify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (NOSHA) Act. The bill aims to abolish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a response to the vaccine mandate.
Biggs commented, “Arizona, and every other state, has the constitutional right to establish and implement their own health and safety measures, and is more than capable of doing so. It’s time that we fight back against the bloated federal government and eliminate agencies that never should have been established in the first place. I will not let OSHA push Arizona around with their bureaucratic regulations and urge my colleagues to support my effort to eliminate this unconstitutional federal agency.”
