National Teacher’s Union boss wants mandatory vaccines for children five and older

Your child might soon be forced to take COVID-19 vaccines, but not because the science or the CDC is requiring, but because the leader of the nation’s largest teacher’s union wants it.


Randi Weingarten, head of the National Education Association is now calling for mandatory COVID-19 vaccines for all children over the age of 5.

“In terms of vaccines, I think what Gavin Newsom did in California is really the best model which is that the semester after they are, they go from emergency use to full authorization and the FDA has done everything that they need to do,” Weingarten said. “That’s what California has said that the semester that they become mandatory but and you support that nationally and I personally support that, the union hasn’t taken a position on that personally.”
