Vaccine Mandates Are ‘What A Tyranny Would Do,’ Arizona Lawmaker Says

Rep. Andy Biggs says vaccine mandates are a direct violation of Americans' personal freedoms.

"It's what a tyranny would do. It's what an authoritarian government would do," the Arizona Republican told The Daily Signal, adding:

And when [White House press secretary Jen Psaki] said that [community outreach] targeted neighborhoods, and President [Joe] Biden implied it was targeted, it made me think, maybe they have a database, right? So, if they've got a database, where are they getting that information? How is that information coming to them?Are they violating [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] laws? What is going on with it?I actually wrote a letter to the president asking him these things, which we've heard nothing back on. But I view it as a tremendous violation of our rights to privacy.
