[T]here are calls by some for the White House and U.S. Attorney General and Congress to intervene in California, New York, Maine and Connecticut and to override the constitutional authority of those state legislatures to make vaccine laws, which may or may not include religious belief exemptions to vaccination. The argument is that those four states have unconstitutionally violated the First Amendment rights of religious families by denying their children a school education for refusing one or more state mandated vaccines, and that the solution is to use Presidential Executive Orders and lawsuits and federal legislation to force those states to re-write their public health laws, and punish institutions and medical care providers with financial penalties if they don’t include a religious exemption to vaccination for school attendance or grant unvaccinated individuals access to federally funded medical care. At first, it sounds like a good idea to get the federal government involved in forcing those states to respect the religious beliefs of families, right? It sounds good until you take a closer look and understand what it really means to allow the federal government to interfere in what has always been a constitutional authority reserved for the states.

The governor of Illinois, made the Covid shots mandatory to attend college in Illinois. West Virginia did same.
Same with Commiefornia, and in NY you even have to be vaccinated in order to take online courses. Whaaat?!
The federal government absolutely DOES need to pass a nationwide law stating NO entity may pass laws requiring vaccines for ANY employment, the military, or to attend school. Vaccines should be voluntary across the board, period. Don’t require all states offer a religious and/or conscience exemption, simply don’t allow states to make ANY vaccines mandatory for ANY reason.
