Editorials: Political elites exempt from vax mandates

 “So — so here is the thing. We are — we cannot require someone to be   vaccinated. That’s just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn’t.” Nancy Pelosi

Why should political elites be exempt from vaccine mandates, when they want to force it on everyone in the country? Does that make any sense? Isn’t that a bit hypocritical? Well, you know the old saying “rules for thee, but not for me.”  And they wonder why there’s so much vaccine hesitancy.

He neglected to add: “Sort of.”

We’ve all been affected by the coronavirus pandemic,whether we’ve contracted the virus, cared for loved ones who have, buried friends and family who’ve succumbed, lost jobs or businesses due to shutdowns or have had to juggle work with homeschooling or coped with newfound isolation.
