Iowa is standing up for workers who have refused to take the coronavirus vaccine on principle and paid for it by losing their jobs.
Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill into law that justifies medical and religious reasons to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine and makes workers fired for noncompliance with vaccine mandates eligible to apply for unemployment benefits.
"As I've stated publicly numerous times, I believe the vaccine is the best defense against COVID-19 and we've provided Iowans with the information they need to determine what's best for themselves and their families, but no Iowan should be forced to lose their job or livelihood over the COVID-19 vaccine," she said.
Today, I'm announcing that the State of Iowa is joining a federal lawsuit to challenge President Biden's unprecedented use of the government to force every employee of every federal contractor in America, including thousands of Iowans, to take a vaccine against their wishes.

Biden's vaccine mandate for contractors "Pits Americans against Americans and it will only worsen the workforce shortage and supply chain issues that hinder our economic recovery," she said, according to The Daily Iowan.
The law Reynolds signed on Friday creates a medical and religious exemption for workers, and also allows those who are fired over a vaccine mandate to qualify for unemployment.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
