The Supreme Court, Vaccines, & Donald Trump
Why Never Trumpers should be thankful for Donald Trump & his Supreme Court nominees.
Right on cue the far Left is bemoaning yesterday’s Supreme Court decision on vaccine mandates as though it indicates “the radical right’s takeover of the Supreme Court.”
Although this sensational assessment is absurd, it is ironic that many on the Left can see what many on the Right, especially those in the “never Trump” camp, aren’t willing to admit.
Namely, that it was President Donald Trump, through his three Supreme Court nominees (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, & Barrett), who just blocked the Federal government’s ability to force you and your family to receive an experimental and irreversible medical treatment for a virus that, generally speaking, doesn’t really hurt healthy people long-term.
For proof of that statement, just consider that in 2020 the CDC reported that 94% of all Covid-19 deaths were among people with comorbidities (on average 3, many of which are easily reversible with diet and exercise; e.g., hypertension, Type-2 diabetes, & heart disease). That means only 6% of the total deaths from Covid-19 occurred in healthy people with no comorbidities.
Of course, that’s still real death, and tragic as a result, but those numbers do not justify the idea that Covid-19 was an existential threat to the entire population (especially to those under 45), or that “shots for everyone” was the best solution. Biden’s attempt to force a large percentage of America’s working men and women to be vaccinated, or else lose their jobs (how’s that for “social justice and equity”!), epitomizes the twisted, unjust, and unscientific logic of his administration.
By putting the brakes on Biden’s autocratic impulses, the Supreme Court did not rule on the merits or lack thereof of the vaccines. They simply said that government agencies, in this case OSHA, have no constitutional authority to mandate or legislate a universal vaccine policy. The authority to make those types of decisions belongs to the federal and state legislatures, not to the unelected bureaucracy in DC.
And with that, I’ll say this: if you favor vaccine choice, personal freedom, and the U.S. Constitution, today, you have Donald Trump to thank.
Just imagine the outcome if three of Hilary Clinton’s Supreme Court nominees were on the bench….
