That was a PUBLIC health mandate for the armed forces and members of the government, the government's right and responsibility to promote military readiness and the efficient operation of government services. States and municipalities made their own decisions based upon public health needs. Your distaste for government and science be damned.
CLEARLY it didn't apply to non government Trumpanzees, which explains why there are fewer of you now than before Covid. Yet ANOTHER electoral challenge.
So, no hypocrisy AND electoral blowback because a majority of the country doesn't want you junk science theocratic nitwits in the obgyn exam room.
Funny how the Dem's talk about Health choices for your own body yet MANDATED Covid VACS.
So did your beloved Fox News... while they all publicly railed against it.

A state may enact a compulsory vaccination law, since the legislature has the discretion to decide whether vaccination is the best way to prevent smallpox and protect public health. The legislature may exempt children from the law without violating the equal protection rights of adults if the law applies equally among adults. --------------------
Also, George Washington vaccinated his troops, whether they liked it or not.
