After a loosely structured recommendation by the CDC that says children as young as six months old should receive a COVID-19 vaccine, lawmakers are worried that Governor Phil Murphy will act on that recommendation in the form of a state mandate.
Sen. Kristin M. Corrado called on the Murphy Administration to halt vaccine mandates, particularly on school children, in the wake of new CDC loosely structured recommendations.
“Government should stay out of this and leave decision-making to parents,” said Corrado (R-40). “The last thing we need is yet another overreaching and unjustified mandate. Trenton should get out of the way and stop interfering with parents’ rights to make important decisions about their kids’ health.”
Corrado, like Congressman Chris Smith days earlier questioned the lack of scientific data and trial studies done by the CDC in making that recommendation.
“Throughout the pandemic, proclamations from CDC and from Dr. Fauci have proven unreliable, factually flawed, and poorly time,” Corrado noted. “Too often, the ‘experts’ have had to walk back statements that turned out to be wrong, yet in New Jersey, the Governor has been quick to embrace CDC’s ramblings as infallible.”
The Senator also reminded Murphy that the COVID-19 vaccine has been proven to not be effective in stopping the transmission of the virus, only in lessening symptoms.
“Clearly, parents object to being told by the Governor or the CDC that they must immunize their children with a shot that doesn’t appear to be especially effective at preventing the virus,” Corrado added.
