EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Introduces 7 Pieces Of Legislation To Block Current And Future Pandemic Gov Mandates

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) unveiled seven pieces of legislation on Tuesday to protect American’s freedoms by blocking current and future government COVID mandates.

The legislation addresses vaccine passports, mandates for vaccines, mask mandates, restrictions from the government, and medical services.

“President Biden has stated that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, but he continues to wield powers granted during the pandemic, and he continues to desire draconian restrictions and mandates for the American people,” Cruz spoke to The Daily Wire. “Congress must step up and outright ban these mandates. We cannot allow the unprecedented actions taken by the federal government to set a new normal in which politicians and unelected bureaucrats force mandates upon the American people at the drop of a hat — all under the justification of protecting public health.”

Cruz stated that the pieces he introduced of legislation were his best work. “would ensure that the constitutional rights of Americans are protected and that President Biden cannot change his mind as the political winds blow.”

The following seven pieces of legislation comprise:

No Vaccine Passports Act – Among its many provisions, the No Vaccine Passports Act would stop the federal government from establishing COVID-19 passports or working with third parties to establish their own vaccine passports, such as airlines or other global entities. The bill prohibits the government from mandating vaccines for vaccines that have been authorized by FDA via an emergency use authorization. This ban will last five years. The Americans with Disabilities Act extends civil rights protections to employees to allow them to request an exemption from any COVID-19 mandate based on employment. Texas and at most 11 other states have passed legislation to prevent statewide vaccine passport mandates as millions of Americans get the COVID-19 vaccine.Doss’s Act – The GIVE LIFE Act (Doss’s Bill) is named after a teenage Texan who was denied a kidney transplant because he had not been vaccinated against COVID-19. Patients in the county still have to be seen even after the pandemic subsides. [be denied] access to life saving transplants due to the patient’s COVID-19 vaccine status. The GIVE LIFE Act would prohibit denying an individual from donating and organ or receiving an organ transplant because of their COVID-19 vaccination status, and from COVID-19 positive caseloads in the patient’s locality from being used as a factor in determining eligibility to donate or receive an organ transplant. Medicare and Medicaid providers would be prohibited from refusing services to people based on COVID-19 vaccination status under the GIVE LIFE Act.Ending Discrimination in COVID-19 Treats Act – The Ending Discrimination in COVID-19 Treatments Act would mandate the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to require that providers do not engage in discriminatory practices such as considering someone’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, religion, disability, vaccination status, veteran status, political ideology, or speech when allocating COVID-19 treatments. This legislation is in response a report that states across the nation were using race and ethnicity to determine eligibility for monoclonal antibodies, critical life-saving therapies that aid in COVID-19 recovery.No Vaccine Mandates Act – The No Vaccine Mandates Act protects the rights of parents by requiring persons who administer a COVID-19 vaccine or booster to first obtain the patient’s informed consent and it protects the rights of parents by requiring the consent of a parent or guardian if the patient is a minor child. The bill also imposes civil penalties for violating a patient’s right by vaccinating against COVID-19 without consent.Parental Rights Protection Act – The Parental Rights Protection Act would protect the rights of parents by restricting recipients of federal funds, including from the Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services, from imposing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate affecting minor children. The bill also would prohibit the vaccination of minors without parental consent.No Mask Mandates Act – The No Mask Mandates Act would prohibit future mask mandates on public property or public transportation. It also prohibits taxpayer funds from being used to enforce federal mask mandates in response to COVID-19. Despite President Biden’s own statements declaring the COVID-19 pandemic over, his administration continues to fight in court for the authority to impose mask mandates on the American people.Let them learn to act – The bill would protect students in Washington, D.C., public schools from the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The D.C. school vaccination mandate would ban unvaccinated school-kids between 12 and 15 years old from attending school in person. It is discriminatory as it would be particularly detrimental to students from black schools who are vaccinated less frequently than others. The bill is co-sponsored jointly by Senators MarshaBlackburn (R–TN), Mike Lee, (R–UT), James Lankford(R-OK), Mike Braun and Josh Hawley.
