The vaccine mandate argument is happening all across the country, dividing even further the vaccinated and unvaccinated camps.
Charmaine Yoest, Vice President of Family, Community, and Opportunity at the Heritage Foundation, isn’t concerned with why or why not people are getting the vaccine, but more about the misinformation and conflicting data that makes it a challenge for Americans to make their own decision.
“They were so critical of alleged misinformation coming from the trump administration and then we turn around and get this administration,” Yoest says. “The president is saying things that just really muddy the water and make people more confused.”
In addition to conflicting and confusing information, the politicization of the vaccine is overshadowing the main idea and the pointing of fingers on each side is only driving a wedge deeper between both sides.
“If you want to promote vaccines you need to be talking about how they protect the vaccinated, not making people concerned about vaccinated people feeling threatened by unvaccinated people.”
Yoest joins Marc Cox to talk the vaccine mandates and what needs to be done.
