State Representative Brad Klippert (R-Kennewick) introduced legislation banning the state from forcing you to get a COVID vaccine, and joined the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH to discuss why.

“So my goal is that people would be able to exercise their constitutionally protected individual rights … So if you have a religious belief, a personal belief or a physical reason why you do not want to take the COVID-19 vaccination, you should not be required to by your government because it says (in the Constitution) that your government is established to protect and maintain your individual rights,” he said.

Klippert says someone simply not wanting to take it would be good enough of a reason under this legislation, and that he is hesitant to take it himself, partially as a result of something Dr. Fauci said earlier this year.

“I have not only a Constitution belief or a religious belief, but also a personal belief that I do not want to take the COVID-19 vaccination … Fauci said on June 10, 2020, and when I listened to it on the radio I immediately wrote down the quote, and he said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, even when we do come up with the vaccine, there is never a guarantee that a vaccine is safe and effective,'” he said.
