Sen. Cruz Introduces Bill to Block Vaccine Mandates for Children

  • Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has introduced a bill that would block the federal government and public schools from imposing COVID-19 vaccines on children.
  • Casting the issue as a fight between parents and schools, Cruz said that the federal government has “repeatedly ignored medical privacy rights and personal liberty by pushing unlawful and burdensome vaccine mandates on American businesses.”
  • Now, he argued, the administration is planning on “pressuring parents” into accepting vaccine mandates for school children “all without taking into account relative risk or the benefits of natural immunity,” according to a statement issued by his office last week.
