Why the Idaho Medical Freedom Act Is Groundbreaking Legislation: Leslie Manookian

One of my friend's daughters was fired from a business.
She was about 16 years old because she wouldn't take the COVID shot.
Now, how did we get to that place where an employer thinks it's their right to dictate what you do in order to retain your job or earn a living?
That's crazy.
My own father was escorted out of the grocery store for not wearing a mask when he was 82 years old, despite the fact that he has a heart condition and he shouldn't be wearing a mask and impairing his flow of oxygen.
And some big guy in the store said, we don't care about your exemption.
This is why we have to have the Idaho Medical Freedom Act.
We have a family friend at home in Idaho, a man named Doug Cameron, and his boss coerced Doug into getting the COVID shot.
Doug didn't want the COVID shot.
He told him, I don't want the shot.
I'm not planning on getting it.
And his boss was like, well, you know, you're going to be setting a really good example for the 100 people underneath you.
I want you to get the shot, Doug.
He basically didn't really have much of a choice.
And it was a job that he loved.
He ended up relenting and getting the shot.
He's paralyzed from the diaphragm down.
He was a strapping man, super fit and strong.
He will live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life while his boss has since died.
And I think this illustrates how no one should claim the moral authority to dictate what we do in our own personal private medical matters in order for us to just earn a living or to engage in normal life.
This is insanity.
And how we got to this place is really...
I think it reflects a kind of greater ill in our society that we've drifted more towards socialism and away from our original founding principles.
