Bruce Y. Lee, Senior Contributor Yes, you heard that correctly. Based on a majority vote, the Party has passed a so-called \u201cBan the jab\u201d resolution that will now go to the desk of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for his consideration. And why does the Party want such a ban? Well, an article for WINK News by Michael Hudak and Taylor Wirtz quoted Joe Sansone, the guy who drafted the resolution, as saying, \u201cThe Lee County Republican Party is going to be on the vanguard of this campaign to stop the genocide because we have foreign non-governmental entities that are unleashing biological weapons on the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n Stop the genocide? Foreign non-governmental entities unleashing biological weapons? Holy space-laser-operating-lizard- The WINK article also included another quote from Sansone that really seemed to embrace some conspiracy theory claims: \u201cIf you got this shot, you go home and hug your pregnant wife\u2014she can have a miscarriage through skin contact.\u201d Wait, so now, you\u2019ve got to start worrying about hugging people who have gotten Covid-19 vaccines? How exactly is that supposed to work scientifically? Did Sansone provide any peer-reviewed scientific studies to support his assertion? Most likely not, because good luck trying to find any peer-reviewed scientific studies to support such an assertion.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s get this straight. The Lee County Republican Party resolution is not just about resisting Covid-19 vaccine requirements. This is not just about refusing to get vaccinated themselves. No, members of the Lee County Republican Party want the State Government to prevent everyone else from getting Covid-19 vaccines. Apparently, they want the State Government to restrict the people\u2019s choice and freedom to get a vaccine that\u2019s been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the U.S, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Talk about overreach.<\/p>\n Now this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that every member of the Lee County Republican Party agreed with this opinion and resolution. Surely, not every member believed that Covid-19 vaccines are biological weapons being unleashed for genocidal purposes, right? Isn\u2019t that correct? Nevertheless, it did mean that the majority of the Party were aligned with Sansone\u2019s beliefs in some way. It also meant that not enough members decided to put their feet down and say, \u201cHold on a second. Is this what we really want to stand for right now?\u201d Tara Jenner, the vice chair of the Lee County Republican Party, indicated that \u201cThe Executive Board executes what the people determine,\u201d in the following news segment on WINK, which, by the way, is an CBS-affiliate in Southwestern Florida:<\/p>\n
