By the time Newsom explained that he had simply kept a low profile both in the office and at home, taking time to watch his children play soccer after a grueling recall campaign and 20-month battle leading the fight against COVID-19 in California, anti-vaccine activists had spread rumors on social media that the Democratic governor experienced an adverse reaction to a booster shot he received at a news conference on Oct. 27.

The website of the Children’s Health Defense, which is led by anti-vaccination activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., alleged Monday that the governor experienced symptoms in response to the vaccine that were “similar to those associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome.”

The far right site InfoWars, run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, claimed that Newsom’s booster shot gave him Bell’s palsy.

Members of the governor’s staff asserted to The Times on several occasions over the last two weeks that he did not have an adverse reaction to the booster shot and that neither he nor his wife had COVID-19. Two of Newsom’s children, though, tested positive for COVID-19 in September.

I don't wish ill upon anyone, but I hope that if he suffered ill effects from any shot that he took that he'd take that into consideration about mandates. There are many factors why someone wouldn't want/shouldn't get the shot and he should understand that. Dividing people and making people choose between their job and their beliefs/medical needs is really unfair and unwarranted. If the shot works so damn well, people who take it shouldn't worry about the unvaccinated! It doesn't make a lot of sense, to me, why people like him and Biden are trying to push the people who can't or won't take it out of society!

From what I'm hearing is that they want to the push to mandate on every business, eventually (Not just businesses with 100 employees or more). If that's the case, everyone who refuses it will no longer be able to work. Doesn't that sound a bit authoritarian? That would be making it so that some people can't work because they can't or wont get the shot, and if you don't think that's insane, that's very sad, as it seems you don't care for people who have serious medical conditions and/or people who disagree with you.

If the shot is so damn good, why the hell are you worrying about people not taking it, you should be good, right?
