New billboards in Texas are warning drivers"DON'T BE BULLIED" into taking the COVID-19 vaccine as the debate continues over mandates.
The billboards have appeared throughout September in places including San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas and Waco, KENS-TV, a local television news station, reported. They are paid for by the Minnesota-based group Citizens' Council for Health Freedom .San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg told KENS that he is not aware of anyone who feels they are being bulled by vaccination efforts.
"I'd love to visit about that because what you're hearing in terms about people encouraging others to get vaccinated is to protect the health of person and the people around them," he told the news station. He said the billboards raise"questions" about why a Minnesota-based organization would purchase billboards in Texas.CCHF announced the billboard campaign in August. The campaign claims to raise"awareness and building resistance to the vaccination mandates." In addition to the Texas billboards, the group has put up billboards in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Idaho.
The campaign points to breakthrough cases as being one of their reasons for opposing mandates, saying,"Bullying is taking place despite the fact that people who have gotten the shot are still getting sick."
