ELITES THINK THEY’RE BETTER THAN YOU
After Los Angeles carried out a vaccine mandate for public faculty college students ages 12 and up in September, the coverage went statewide, with California changing into the primary state to implement a vaccine mandate for schoolchildren earlier this month following approval from the Meals and Drug Administration.
“Our colleges already require vaccines for measles, mumps, and extra,” Newsom, a Democrat, mentioned of the mandate. “Why? As a result of vaccines work.”
Newsom has been accused of hypocrisy for exempting himself and his household from the COVID-19 restrictions he publicly helps. This summer time, he pulled his son from a summer time camp after photographs emerged that confirmed the youngsters taking part in basketball indoors with out masks.
In November 2020, Newsom was caught eating indoors with lobbyists with out masks at an upscale restaurant regardless of urging residents to keep away from massive gatherings.
“The spirit of what I’m preaching on a regular basis was contradictory, and I’ve acquired to personal that. So, I’m going to apologize to you,” he mentioned after the very fact.
The resultant costs of hypocrisy helped inspire an effort to recall Newsom, which he handily defeated final month.
Solely 56.1% of Californians between the ages of 12 and 17 are absolutely vaccinated, the bottom of any age group within the state, based on the state’s COVID-19 web site.
