Youngkin Caught on Tape Discouraging COVID Vaccination

Glenn Youngkin was recorded telling Republicans in Fairfax County who don’t want the COVID-19 vaccination “for whatever reason” to claim a religious or medical exemption.

Terry McAuliffe, Youngkin’s Democratic opponent, dropped the recording on Twitter. Here are Youngkin’s own words from the June 11 event (which I presume was this one):

I’m really frustrated with our universities across Virginia who are requiring the vaccine in order to come back to class. One of the things I encourage folks is, they do have, the do have a exception (sic) policy because I actually looked at the Virginia Tech one this week. And I encourage people to fill it out. And stand up for your exception. And then when I’m elected governor, we’ll figure out how to get (it) fixed – permanently. But between now and then, I think we should, we should encourage anyone who does not want to get the vaccine, for whatever reason, who has a child who is attending one of our universities – fill out, fill out the exception form.

If Youngkin really had “looked at the Virginia Tech one this week,” he would know the only exemptions allowed are for religious or medical reasons. There is no “for whatever reason” exemption form.

Youngkin has tried to put a foot in both camps on vaccination, publicly saying he is vaccinated while opposing the mandates put in place by Governor Northam and President Biden. This is the first time (as far as I know) that he has been shown to advocate vaccine deniers falsely claiming exemptions so they can avoid the shot “for whatever reason.”

It’s just the latest issue in which the would-be Governor has tried talking out of both side of his mouth. He spent the summer playing footsie with Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election, hoping no one would notice that folks like Amanda “Trump Won Virginia” Chase could take control of election boards across the Commonwealth if he won. Then he tried to grab the mantle of supply-side Reaganomics while proposing a laundry list of Keynesian tax changes.

While Youngkin has been tap-dancing, over 660,000 Americans have died from COVID – more than 1 in 500 Americans – amid a slowdown in vaccinations driven in no small part by Republicans listening to Tucker Carlson parroting Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s bizarre story.

Youngkin had the chance to disavow the dezinformatsiya behind the anti-vacccination nonsense (USA Today). Instead, he encouraged it – and now every Virginia voter knows it.

We cannot risk the Commonwealth in Glenn Youngkin’s control.

For whatever reason.
