But on the issue of vaccination, by and large, Republicans, Democrats, everybody are together on that, and education works. We increase that here in Arkansas. I had town meetings all across the state, bringing education efforts, encouraging that. Never in history, particularly with the young people, with only an emergency use authorization by the FDA, have we mandated that vaccine at this early stage. It\u2019s right. We need that, but we know the solution to this, which is the vaccination. If you\u2019re not vaccinated, you can socially distance. You can take the steps, and private businesses should be able to make the decision themselves. Many might require of their employees to be vaccinated, but let\u2019s let them make that decision, and of course, people can make decisions as to where they want to go, but to put the mandate in is unprecedented. It\u2019s going to cause hardship and going to cause division in our country, as you can already see. So that\u2019s the reason I think the mandates take us the wrong direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe mandates, though, are going to cause adverse hardship. People know what they need to do, but the mandates are going to cause consistent resistance. You\u2019re going to lose public health workers, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to see in Arkansas if we put that into place, and so the private sector can make that decision as they\u2019ve done, whether they want a vaccine requirement for their employees. People are going to make good decisions on this, but let\u2019s not divide again on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor\u00a0Asa Hutchinson (R-AR)\u00a0said Sunday on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that vaccine mandates to combat COVID cause \u201cconsistent resistance.\u201d Hutchinson said, \u201cWe\u2019re right now dividing our country on this issue &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1111386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1111386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1111386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1111386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1111386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
