Harrigan introduced a bill to reinstate service members discharged who refused the COVID-19 vaccine.
We’re all more suspicious of public health guidance than we used to be, but pandemic policy forced me and my goombahs into meeting weekly over a Zoom video feed rather than across coffee shop tables. While there’s no substitute for ordering a macchiato under cafe speakers where Mick Jagger and his bandmates are oozing their...
The victory over this mandate marks just one battle in a larger war being waged on small businesses and American prosperity.
While the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals quickly issued a stay on the OSHA vaccine Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), the Biden administration insisted that companies ignore the stay and proceed with the mandate. No matter what the courts or the Biden administration do, we the people of NC must prevent the implementation of this mandate...
Argument: If you are for the school system requiring students to be immunized against diseases, and COVID-19 is just another disease for which a reliable, safe vaccine is readily available, then you should not be against mandatory COVID-19 vaccines in schools. Readers may recognize that this is a syllogism—that is, it is an argument consisting...
Why are people on the far right ‘pro virus’? The question came up on Quora, the social question and answer website. Despite its faulty premise, it sounded sincere. I had an epiphany while thinking about whether to answer that question: Accusing the far right of being “pro virus” is every bit as telling as accusing...
President Biden’s vaccine mandate relies on the idea that unvaccinated workers pose a grave risk to their vaccinated coworkers. This is an unwise and counterproductive claim.
America has largely moved on from COVID-19, even as much of the world is still deep in its throes. Thing is, many politicians in the U.S., as well as left-leaning media outlets, would have us believe otherwise. Sure, in their heart of hearts, they want COVID to go away, for the world to truly move...
If more people are getting vaccinated because of the governor’s handouts and giveaways, I sure can’t tell. Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, is handing out gift cards in specific counties, and he’s holding lotteries offering cash prizes and college tuition. Not with his money, of course. For the hundredth time, people who wanted a vaccine...
Anyone who wanted a COVID vaccine has gotten a vaccine. Anyone who wants a vaccine can get a vaccine. It’s a fact transcending logical debate, child-like in its simplicity. Not only is the vaccine free, but now, depending on where you live in North Carolina, the state will pay you for the quick shot in...
A decision by the governor and his health secretary to further ease state lockdowns only when two-thirds of adults are vaccinated is shockingly silly. I wrote that last week. It’s silly because, not only is it wide government overreach, it’s possibly unconstitutional, as is the idea of vaccination “passports.” More than anything, it’s silly because...
