Georgia state senators voted Tuesday to permanently block schools and most state and local government agencies from requiring people to get vaccinated against COVID, the Associated Press reported, in the latest move to scrap such a mandate.
The Georgia Senate voted 31-21 in favor of the bill, which would make permanent what had been a one-year ban enacted in 2022.
The 2022 ban was part of a conservative nationwide backlash against the mandates that were aimed at preventing the spread of the virus. It was set to expire June 30 if not extended by lawmakers.
Sen. Nan Orrock, an Atlanta Democrat, said the majority is “fundamentally signing on to the anti-vaccination movement” and tying the hands of government should COVID-19 again worsen.
“We know that there’s been a movement building in America to demonize vaccinations and do it in the name of individual rights,” Orrock said, as the AP reported.
The Georgia vote comes after New York City scrapped its COVID vaccine requirement for public-sector workers and California dropped one for schoolchildren.
It also comes as U.S. cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue to decline. On May 11, President Joe Biden plans to end the twin emergencies the federal government had declared in order to manage the pandemic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added COVID-19 vaccinations to a list of suggested routine immunizations, but they in no way mandate vaccines.
The CDC’s vaccine schedule, released Thursday, does not set requirements for vaccines in schools or in the workplace. State and local jurisdictions decide which immunizations are required for children attending schools and daycares. Medical and religious exemptions to vaccines are also allowed in many states, including Georgia.

I'm not one to quote the bible, but Matthew 12:25 comes to mind.
Something has to give.

The "house" and "cities" are already in ruins. They are barely recognizable remnants of what stood, if you have eyes that can see.

Yes they are and have been for many years.
It still isn't enough for them though.

I get all the biblical and religious references I do, I went to Sunday school enough.
Still, the COVID vaccine movement is based on money, nothing moves a governmental agency like getting more finances allocated to its budget. The politicians are financially tied to big pharma, the politicians decide the CDC's budget, and the CDC officials are gonna squawk in the same language as the politicians.
with nary a biblical reference needed.
It doesn't matter if our beliefs are rooted in our faith, those that need to be shown the craziness don't speak that language.
It doesn't make the rest bad or heathens, just misguided and manipulated as well as uninformed.

Like NSB4D said, who says the problem isn't with us, as well?
We've ALL let it come this far.
I think it's more about power than money, with money as the cherry on top.
Once CBDC and Digital ID become mandatory, there will be no need for the charade, anymore...

As long as the American people believe the abundance of lies from the media, corporations, and government, there will be no accountability. And without accountability, we have a criminal government run amok. It’s politicians, bureaucracy, and agents can do whatever they please with little resistance and endless impunity.

Shows how a federal agency in the same state responds differently than the elected officials.

The uninformed have chosen to remain uniformed. There is nothing that can be done when a person chooses not to hear, and not to know. There is a small comfort for a short time for those that seek shelter in plausible deniability. But it will be very short lived.
For the rest of us, well, we know the script, we know the score, and we know what time it is.
What we chose to do or not to do lies squarely in our own hands.
The government, the CDC, and any other systems we have allowed to be established, is not God. We have just chosen to treat them as such.
The Bible is just a book of basic instructions. Nothing new under the sun. I think it has almost all areas of the past covered, and a few chapters on what is yet to come.
B - basic
I - instructions
B - before
L - leaving
E - earth
Just my personal way of seeing it.

My apologies. I wasn't trying to take the thread in another direction. I'm a total heathen. I referenced that verse because the statement is true, not because I'm religious.
As I stated in a previous thread I authored I'm over it. I'm done. Finis!...

As others have already said, it is the American people who need to change. Only then can they exact change where it's needed in our system. It's up to us. The system isn't going to change for the better on its own.

But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, like you say, a federal agency, doesn't have anything to do with the government in the state of Georgia, or does it?

No, but being located in Atlanta certainly they see the same things Georgians do, I'd suggest more Americans now believe the COVID vaccine necessity was overblown yet the CDC is still recommending it

But there's also a location in Washington, D.C. and I wonder whether the personnel who work in Georgia have as much say-so as in D.C.
I think of D.C. as being the center of evil in what we've gone through for the last three years, and before...

I just don't see the ever-widening conspiracies to make COVID happen, it just takes some greedy big Pharma executives a few crooked politicians, and a few easily bought and or influenced governmental employees
