“The government should never be in charge of making medical decisions for Americans. Individuals are best equipped to make their own health care choices in consultation with their doctors, and we must defend their right to do so.

“With the success of Operation Warp Speed, we’ve seen an immense decrease in rates of serious illness and death. Sweeping government mandates on vaccination and mask wearing, like those we’ve seen from Sacramento, the City of Los Angeles and the CDC, based on unpublished studies that have not been subjected to peer review are simply not warranted – especially when it could cost Americans their jobs and livelihoods. When will it end?

“The arbitrary restrictions that have been implemented by progressive politicians throughout the pandemic have seldom been based on the science, and the recent resurgence of these measures is further proof. It is time to stand up to government overreach, allow Americans to choose for themselves how best to protect their health and get our communities back to normal.”
