Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has introduced new legislation that would stop the federal government and all public educational facilities from requiring that children be vaccinated against COVID.
The bill “prohibits the federal government and any recipient of federal funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and/or the CDC at the state, local, Tribal, or territorial level” from requiring any individual aged 18 or younger to get the vaccine. It also would deny funding to any recipient of “Title IV, Part A and Title II, Part A funding,” and insist upon parental consent before vaccinating any minor.
My view on the COVID-19 vaccine has remained clear: no mandates of any kind.
I’m proud to introduce legislation to ensure President Biden and his administration stay out of decisions related to a child’s health—decisions best left to parents.
