Texas Senator Ted Cruz is taking action to stop a potential move by President Joe Biden to force Americans nationally to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or wear masks in public, introducing two bills banning national vaccine and mask mandates.
Cruz’s No Mask Mandates Act ends Biden’s Executive Order on mask mandates on public property, ends the CDC’s mask mandate on public transportation while also prohibiting implementation of similar federal mandates in the future and prohibits the use of taxpayer funds to enforce any federal mask mandate in response to COVID-19.
Cruz’s No Vaccine Mandates Act prohibits giving someone a COVID-19 vaccine without first obtaining the patient’s informed consent and requires parental consent before vaccinating someone younger than 18.
“Thanks to vaccinations and the natural immunity of Americans who have recovered from COVID-19, America is reopening. America is recovering, our kids are going back to school, and small businesses are returning as our nation’s economic heartbeat. At the same time, President Biden is imposing unscientific and burdensome mandates to control Americans’ lives,” said Cruz.
Even many of those who have been vaccinated and believe in vaccines oppose a national mandate forcing them on people.
“I got the vaccine because it was the right choice for me. But I also believe in individual freedom. No one should force anyone to take the vaccine-including the federal government or an employer. Americans should have the choice to make their own medical decisions in consultation with their doctor,” Cruz added.
“To protect the rights and privacy of Americans, I’ve introduced legislation that would prohibit federal COVID mandates. This means no mask mandates, no vaccine mandates, and no vaccine passports. My legislation also provides civil rights protections for employees from their employers, to stop discrimination based on vaccination status. The American people must have the freedom to exercise personal choice when it comes to protecting their health and the health of their families” said Cruz.

Stop the the mask and vaccine mandates? Please do!
Time to remove Fauci and fire Biden. Hes a crook. Both of them are crooks.
Dion you are 100% correct!! GOD BLESS AMERICA, WE HAVE TO FIGHT HARD NOW TO SAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
Osama obama is behind a lot of this shit.. He and that skank ass wife of his!!! Wonder which one has the bigger Dick.
I loved that whole statement
Fire Biden ? Fire Fauci ? Lock them up and the rest of the people who led the coup against President Trump! … and lied about their involvement in this nasty virus developed by “Dr” Fauci! (And his cronies. )….. Reinstate our president by showing the legal votes before our country is eating rice on the street corners. Biden/ Harris are not fit to receive pay for the job performances they are executing on America’s fall from grace. It is a sad social experiment we are being forced to endure as tax payers and owners of this beloved country!
Then we the people can throw a giant Trump party. MAGA🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They sure are!👿
Biden is a crook.
All well and good. But will it be voted into law. I doubt it.
I was lalking to my MP last week (I’m an American living in Canada with NO intention of ever returning) and he’s so glad that Ted is America’s problem now because Canada doesn’t want him back. He told me that if Ted were back up here and involved in politics, he’d vote to repeal the handgun porohibition so that some nut could take care of Cruz.
Huh?!!! TO HELL WITH MANDATORY VACCINES AND ALL OF THE FAKE COVID SHIT, pal! Someone awta take care of YOU!
Remove democrats. That will end it all.
I second that motion
Invite all De Muck Rats on a luxury cruise at taxpayer expense, and then sink the Titanic without lifeboats.
This idiot Fauchi is in bed with Soros ,Gates and most of the Democrats and are making a fortune promoting this Covid bullshit in which they helped creating. Along with the Chinese , And BIden who is in Bed with these crooks . Add Glaxco the drug maker aka phizer and you’ve got the biggest ponzu scheme in history. All these bastards should be hung for treason and election tampering
Let’s remove the stinking slimy pot smoking communist socialist democrat squad along with the deplorable pelosi and the deplorable humpback schumer and the big lip maxine
WITH HIS DERLICTION ACTIONS IN AFGANISRAN, BIDEN NEEDS ARTICLE 25 TO KEEP HIM FROM DOING ANY MORE HARM TO THIS COUNTRY AND FOLKS LIVING IN IT!
I’m glad because no one has the right to tell me anything about my health choices. Keep the government and employers out of health care unless they are in that field. Everyone make an informed and proper decision for yourselves and their families. I’m tired of all these yahoos that are a bunch of liars like the CDC and Fauci telling everyone to get Vaccinated or else. Youth can still get the disease even if you’re vaccinated so stop with the Bull Stories.
America Boycott the biden administration bull crap about masks and anything that Tater Tot biden has to say screw bidens rules

Plenty good money to be made by selling the public the masks and vaccines of the experimental trade. My aunt died of anaphylactic shock in 1918 from the “Horse Serum” the quacks gave then. Thank the Lord that my father had already caught and recovered from the flu and that this pandemic is nothing as severe as the Spanish flu that killed eighty milliom worldwide! Fauchi ought to get advertising money for his plugs for the anti WuHan stuff. Maybe the CCP will reward him.
I’m an American, with American values! The federal, state, or local government will force an injection into my body!! My Body, My Choice!!!
If masks worked, then any talk of viruses would have ended last year! How can a bacteria trap over your breathing be good for you? load of Communism controls is all it is. dumbing down of humanity If they genuinely cared, they would encourage building up your God given Immune System, taking HCQ, Zinc, Regenreron, Ivermectin and Budesonide
Please help stop the madness. Mandates are so unconstitutional!
