GOP governors opposing vaccination mandates

Republican governors, particularly Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, have objected to requiring citizens to get vaccinated.

They charge that people’s rights to make the best decisions for themselves are violated; individuals should be permitted to make their own choices; requiring vaccinations is an example of government overreach; mandated vaccinations violate individual rights to freedom of choice.
